Insight timer, I've used it so much it's really been part of the recovery process for me

I went to Kaleidoscope! It was fantastic 🥰 Susan gave me hugs 🥰
Last but very much not least we now have hit air balloons in the garden! A selkie chums posted about these so we all wanted them!

Cherry blossom sashiko

I bought this kit over a year ago from Japan crafts, at the time I never knew if or when I would be able to make it. Turns out that is now!

I wanted to use my Miffy needle minder it's just too cute

The threads are silk and jusy wonderful to work with


And here is the finished piece! I love it so much this was a joy to stitch

May furtle

I redid my bunny pixie basket! I blogged about it here another finish ✅️
I have more finishes! These mandalas were waiting to be done from pre long covid! I blogged about them here


Another finish!!! Redoing the Temperature embroideries from 2021 and 2022! Blogged about here

I also got a new binding tool, I think it will help, Mark does most of my big ironing for me so I didn't really want to add binding to it. I managed this amount in 20 mins with not too much effort so I think ill stick with it

Another finish!!! Squeeked in for the end of May my cherry blossom sashiko kit. Now all done and made up blogged about here
