June look back

Oh my June was full of STUFF! I wasn't expecting my first outing in 7 months to be to the hospital for a mammogram but here we are! Once I got the all clear I was able to actually enjoy it! GD did too 😊 he met car penguin ❤️

It's so lovely to see Sarah from Duck Egg threads back on IG she shared this memory with me ❤️ that was so much fun!

Lovely chum Jacky continues to knock it out of the park with cards!

I'm still taking my own tree of the month picture!

Oh yes now getting out onto balcony! When it's not raining 🤣

Lovely chum Jacky (who is the best!) Went to London and sent me loads of cards!

And a tin ❤️ we love a tin!

The selkies continue to be such a huge support they just know exactly what to do, I love them

June furtle

Well it feels really good to say this, I have a finish! This is my temperature embroideries for 2024. I picked it up again at the beginning of June and managed to finish it, it's wonderful to be posting actual Crafting! It's been a while.

It's funny the things which pop up! I was sent this picture by the lovely Duck egg threads from the year she made a liberty lounge for Budthepuppy 🥰

 I've been loving getting back into sashiko so i treated myself to this

 

And yes I still have my needle minder obsession 🤣🤣

This one is for my next year in embroidery panel which will be pages read

And this little curie too! I stopped this last September when I couldn't get downstairs but lovely scoobs brought it back up for me so it's on the go again!

The lovely Joyce from my swimming group sent me this jigsaw. That group are wonderful truly are 

Blimey we have a finish!!!

Well! We have a finish! First one in a year 😳 and yes it was over half done but that's not the point 🤣 behold! My temperature embroidery for 2024

I had done up to August last year but then long covid really started kicking my back side. But now new therapist new room and I finally felt like picking something up again 😊 I restarted this in June and have loved having a hoop in my hand again 🥰 I've reached the end of this notebook which is a bit sad, I bought it at the American museum in Bath in 2019 at a Kaffe Fassett exhibition, it's been my book for temperatures for 2023 and 2024 but not to worry! I have sent lovely new book lined up for 2025 and it's already chock full of data, not temperatures though I'm going to change tak

I took progress shots as I went along, love my spiffy new needle minder too 😊

June seasons

 So welcome June! This is the far left corner of the garden and neither of us can remember what the tree is 🤦‍♀️ once it's blooming again i can look it up

June has been a bit mixed so far, still colder days occasionally and rain. 

Everything is so much greener, flowers in bloom too, just all a bit more summery

And yes thank you for asking! i did take this myself! Being down here on the middle floor has opened up so much more it's wonderful

May look back

May has been a strange month, good and not so good but also amazing. It was my birthday,  I won't lie it wasn't exactly what I would have wanted but we made the most of it. My beautiful bestie Jacky gave me this wonderful book of poems illustrated by Angela Harding we love it

The balcony is finished! And scoobs got a washing out 🤣🤣

And he did hanging baskets

Petunias his favourites

He got out fir some cycling and took his donkey cookie with him, he has a new go pro bless him!

Exam time for chums son, so GD crossed his paws a lot!

Plus he had a bath 🤣🤣🤣😳

It was my mams 93rd birthday and we managed a WhatsApp call

 Loving my new room
Oh we got a new fence!

And managed to retrieve the roof trim which was blown off in storm Eowyn

Ah yes I took that picture myself! 

Cards for my birthday and pop up flowers

Awww my wonderful chum went to the James Ist/VIth exhibition where she snapped these quartos 🤣 it's an in joke - snoozy paws!!!!

The van meer💕

Rocky went camping with Scoobs!

New hair cut,my chum says I'm beginning to look like myself again, I agree

My babycham glasses my birthday drink 💕

Things I am now doing - standing to wash hands, walking more, average 400 steps per day now, stitching microwaving food, sitting for meals that's a lot.
