AND JUST LIKE THAT---

 JUNE appears--whether we are done with May or not!!!!

I have a sister named, June--she is 3 years younger than me--and her birthday is in May too!!  And my little sister, Barbara, was 3 years younger that June and her birthday was June 16th!!--

And the big news for the month of June for us here in Florida is--Hurricane season starts now--!!!!!!!!!!

But --before we talk about 'June' projects--let's finish off May's projects--

I got 2 more pillows made--using embroidery pieces I had done in the past--the next Spring one is one of Joy's designs--

And I used the same jelly roll for the trims on this one--so that both "Spring" pillows will look good together--

I also finally finished off another embroidery I had done a few years ago--

I have no idea whose design this is--sorry--but I have always loved it and have gotten it out from time to time to finish it-kept thinking I would use it for a tote--but then would not make one up --cause there is so much white on this panel and I know how easily totes can soil  --so while I was in the 'pillow' making mode--I just made it up too!!!

So for the Chook shed challenge for May--

I made up '3' embroidery--ufo's--

the three pillows above--

and the 16 wool ornaments for gift giving--

So I am happy with the challenge and that more ufo's are all finished--!!!!  Thanks!

And talking--

This is my #10 project--

I have 46 heart blocks here to  put into a quilt--or something--these hearts are from the 52 week challenge on Facebook--now to figure out how I want to finish them off--come to think of it--not sure I seen very many actually finished???

And here is where I am on the little pink hearts project--

I have 76 pink hearts to play with and I also spent a couple afternoons picking out pinks to match and cutting them into 4" squares--

Now I just got to bite the bullet and start sewing these together--

But--

first I hope to get a couple more baby quilts sewn by Friday when the Quilt Club is collecting them to take to the hospital!!

I also got one Summer block all embroidered this week--Opps--I pressed it then forgot to take a photo of it so you will have to trust me that I got Melisa's Summer piece embroidered--and now I am working on Joy's Summer piece!!

I also now have the red, pink, yellow, and purple heart blocks hand quilted-- on the heart quilt top!

I went shopping on Thursday--took the bus over to the Plaza to Beall's as they sent me a 20% off coupon for my birthday and it expired on May 31--I got 3 items for 20% off--the above cat was one item--he makes me smile every time I see him--that little polka bow tie and the grin on his face and those loops on his body--oh my!!!!  I also got a new over body purse for my cell phone and wallet for shopping and anew pair of walking sneakers!!

Then I went to Publix for some groceries--and I ended up with 2 kinds of fresh fish from the fish section--Halibut--salmon--so my apartment smells really 'fishy' this week end!!!!!

And I finally did my next photo challenge--

The flower one was easy--been snapping photos of flowers for a couple weeks now--but mainly on the cell phone--I want the challenge to be with my Cannon camera and lenses--

so this morning I did grab a couple things for the photos and headed out--

this bush is right beside the gazebo door--

This one was inside the gazebo--I took my window pillow and Bear--my black cat!!

We seem to have several bike riders living here right now--and Bear is checking out the bikes to see if he would like to ride one????

And this plant is outside of the little café next door--they are not open on Sundays and Mondays--

so was able to take a couple photos--!!

there will be more photos over on the Workbasket site--top button on left side of this post--more really neat flower ones too--

SO MY DEAR STITCHY FRIENDS--WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR JUNE???  ANY NEW PROJECTS BEING PLANNED??

HUGS, AND THOUGHTS TO EACH--DIANE
