Patriotic Tote Bag

This month, I combined a red, white and blue crazy quilt block and a couple of patriotic fabrics to make a tote bag following this tutorial. It will be a gift for someone that served in the Army.

I also made a fair amount of progress on my free Heaven and Earth Designs Santa and the Mouse chart. This is how it looked on May 25th.

Oh dear, May already!

I don't know where the time is going, but it sure goes by fast. I managed to stitch another part of the Scandinavian Christmas cross stitch project. I love Dala horses.

Oh my gosh it's May

I dropped active input on my reindeer temporarily

and did a wee bit of simple stitching instead;

Santa chugging away in his well-loaded choo-choo :)

It's amazing how quickly straightforward

back stitching with a variegated thread stitches up,

(none of that fiddly choosing and switching colours business!)

perfect for a little boost to feeling productive

Each month I am more and more awed

by the fabulous and original

Christmassy items being shown here,

you guys are amazing!

There are going to be huge grins come December ;)

Wishing you all a sparkly June :)
