IHSW or International Hermit and Stitch Weekend always starts on the third Friday of the month. It's a chance to lock yourself away and focus on your stitching for the weekend. You can take part on your blog or via the Facebook page - IHSW on Facebook.
Last month I completed all the Olive Green background for Day 2 first and here is where I finished:
stitched on 32 count grey-blue linen
All the fill-in on the 2 is going to be gold metallic!
Today is also the first posting date for Clare's new SAL - The Topsy-Turvy SAL. This month the theme was New Year. Unfortunately I haven't got space for a new start but I did stitch on the project I was working on on 1st January - 12 Days of Christmas from Stoney Creek so I am going to see if Clare allows shoe-horns!
Finally the next IHSW will be 15th - 17th October so make sure you note the date in your diary or come and join us in the Facebook Group - IHSW on Facebook. If you don't do Facebook then you can check in here by leaving a comment on my post.

Oh, I love this 12 days of Christmas! Really festive with the deep and golden colors.
You are so brave to stitch with metallic threads, Jo! They are my least liked thread :) Love how the 12 days is progressing!
Love your projects. Trying to catch up with blog reading.
A very 12-day-y post! Very pretty both of them, and what a fun shoehorn.
