June and August

What can I say?

My brain seems to have gone on leave 

and it forgot to tell me

leaving my body wandering along oblivious

and doing quite daft things!

I really thought I had posted June's item here

but it seems not

so here it is now :)

The last stitched part 

of this year's longer-to-do project

My label :)

 

Next is to put it all together

hope my brain hangs around for that :)

 plus

my item for August

a simple stitchery designed by Gail Pan

I did have an item finished for July

though I'm having some difficulty getting good photo's

so hopefully that will show up sometime this month too :)

So sorry Narelle for being all over the place with my showing and telling!

May you all have a lovely jingly-making September

Progress on Embroidery Projects

This embroidery will be used as the back of another tissue pack cover. The pink background was painted as part of the free Intermediate Crazy Quilt Class 102: Working with Paint, Dyes and Inks.

I also pieced a crazy quilt stocking featuring a cross-stitch of Santa from an Alma Lynn pattern that I stitched up at least a decade ago. I hope to have embroidery completed to share next month.

And, I finished page 3 of the retired Heaven and Earth Designs Freebie Santa and the Mouse pattern I have been working on. This is how it looked on June 24th. 

Baby, it's hot outside!

With temperatures in the 90s not much is being done here creatively speaking, except some cross stitch and sock knitting. I avoid anything that requires me to drag out the iron so my Christmas sewing projects have been postponed a bit. I added another section to the Scandinavian Christmas sampler and stitched another Advent Animal.

Garden Progress

Merry half way through the year to all.

Not only has there been progress in my outdoor garden, my Merry Christmas Garden-block 2 is slowly blooming from this in March

to the month of June ... yay!

Have you finished a gift or decoration ... or made progress on a Christmas project?

Happy Christmas Sewing

June Xmas item is secret sewing

I have finished this project but I cannot show. You all know what I mean

Well all I can say is it's an elf.....
