i'm so so so so so so so busy in july and august because july is packing and mailing and packing and... packing.. and all kinds of paperwork and doctor's appointments for immigration and then august i'm moving from toronto to houston (finally, lol)

a thought occurs: yay for moving to houston in august where i, the canadian, will melt into a gooey puddle of canadianness on the humid and oily shores of the gulf. that is all ;P

anyways, this makes me sad, because i have such a good idea for this and a pattern all set up and everything but i don't know if i'll have the time to actually do it.
i am going to give it a go tho, it'll be super cool to have even if i can't finish it in time for the end of the challenge.
i mean the pattern is fairly simplistic, if a bit on the large side :o

if i don't finish it, along with the craft swap would make 2 things that i superfail at because of immigration and i apologize for my non-participation in stitchy fun, lol. i'll give 'er my best =)

oh once i'm settled, and afraid to go outside for fear the sun will eat my pale canadian skin- a stitchtacular time will be had!
cuz i'm not gunna have anything else to do, lol

I think until the end of July would be enough to do a single letter. If people plan on making names or something then the end of August will be better.
Personally I think I will go for one letter, a nice and big one.

Wow... as much as I hate to interrupt the flow here I need to ok something with peeps for the challenge.

Is it ok if I do two single letters? I have a couple of ideas and since I'm not doing my username (waaaaaaay too much work lol) I thought I'd do both if possible ^^

Ok...you may continue :P

went to the same high school *at the same time* at that, lol

oh i do hope i get this project done in time. i have 51 days to do that, as well as organize and pack up what is essentially my entire life worth of stuff from my mom's house. i think i can do it... i hope i can do it?

as for the single letter thing... well my pattern is for more than 1 and where 1 would make it a lot easier to finish (as it'd be tiny, lol) the real flow of my piece wouldn't happen unless it was the whooole thing. so, hmm... i'll leave it up to you guys, and stop at one for the contest if that's what's decided ('n then just do the rest when i have time, lol)
