The June Round Up.

 As you know, the end of the month was taken up with ill health. There are some nasty bugs going around here at the moment and I caught one. It has proven to be quite difficult to shake off. Friends and colleagues have said the same thing.

That aside I did get some quality time in the month of June. Lots of that time was spent dealing with a good harvest of 'Joas as young Master Torstein calls them.  We've had lots of 'Joa muffins and another batch of 'Joa jam. I have some different Feijoa recipes I want to try, hopefully soon. There are still a few fruits on the trees and next time the children are here I'll send them out with buckets or bowls to collect them.

Mid Winter has passed here in the Southern hemisphere, we marked it at work with our Matariki decorations. I was happy to catch an amazing sunrise on the day too.

The camera in my phone did not do it justice.

I was very lucky and acquired some great fabric bargains.

You can see more about them here if you need a reminder. 

I made a few more hexie flowers using up left over fabric pieces.

I completed the cross stitched Bumblebee just before the bug got a propper hold on me.

Then I pulled out my Chookshed challenge and I'm happy to say I made some good progress there.

I completed all of the stitching on this block and have another almost completed.  It is still in the hoop, so I apologise for the scrumpled appearance.

There is just a little more to do on the watering can stitchery.

That leaves only two more blocks I think. Hopefully I will get them completed this month, then I can start to put the top together.

I'm not making any promises though, you know how often squirrels hop through this house. LOL

And finally I shared three recipes with you. They are all easy to find on the recipe tab at the top of my page.

I wonder what number Deanna will call for Julys Chookshed challenge?
