It's Geek to Me: Theme-a-licious 2012

I've followed monthly themes in the past, just for fun and to help me make my way through my diverse and vast stack of stash and WIPs. You can dedicate the whole month to the theme, or a week during the month, or weekends, or whatever you want! Just come join us and have fun. We'll post on the last day of the month, to celebrate that month's successes and share plans for the coming month, then on the 15th to check in on progress! I'll host a Mr. Linky post on those days and you can link back to it.

Please use the banner above on your posts, if you would, and link back to either this page or my current post.

Jardin January

The holidays were a little stressful...let's relax in a nice garden. Work on any piece with flowers or gardens.

Fangirl February

Send a Valentine to your favorite designer...or at least work on his or her designs for the month!

March Madness

Stitch or knit on something different every day...it's madness...of the funnest possible kind.

Amazon April

Dip your needle into the vast swath of fabric dedicated to your BIGGEST projects!

May Memories

Remember when you took that class? Or decided to commemorate that event? And then abandoned your poor WIP? Take a stroll down memory lane by working on it again.

Jumanji June

Is it a jungle out there in your stash? Give some love to the projects with animals or birds.

Jolly July

It's a jolly holiday with your WIPs...you can concentrate on Christmas designs, ornaments, or even pick a different holiday to render in stitchy goodness.

Altius August

Embrace the Olympic motto--Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger)--by elevating your mind. It's the perfect time to learn something new! Or maybe achieve some goals...

September Smalls

We all love gadgets, and none better than the teensy tools and holders we make ourselves. Let's stitch some smalls--needlebooks, fobs, biscornus, scissors keeps, pincushions--or knit some teensy things--amigurumi, jewelry, sachets....

Obligation October

Wow, the holidays are only a couple months away! Avoid that last-minute crunch and work on some gifts now.

Nail It November

What's lying around that's so close to being finished you can't stand it anymore? Get to it and finish it!

Delightful December

The holidays are a time for relaxing...at least, that's the theory! No stress here...work on whatever you want and enjoy!

Here's the HTML for the banner to make it easy:

<a href="http://lottloft.blogspot.com" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="76" width="400" src="http://www.lottloft.com/images/themeBannerShiny.gif" /></a>

IMPORTANT: If you grab the graphic and upload it in Blogger, it will NOT animate with Nathan. You'll just have the top of his head showing.
For those of you that don't want Nathan Fillion in your graphic (SAY WHAT??!?), just remove the word "Shiny". =)
If you want to be all fancy, you can change the "http://lottloft.blogspot.com" to the URL of the current Theme-a-licious post on my blog, so people can visit other Themers' blogs more easily.

Here's the sidebar graphic!

It's got a little animation-sparkle to it as well, so don't upload it to Blogger. Here's the URL to it (or right-click it and "Copy image URL"): http://www.lottloft.com/images/themeButton.gif

Here's a little button you can use for forum signatures. (NOTE: The quality is lesser because I did this one rather than Michael =)
