Welcome June!

Beautiful June is here!

The flowers are blooming and the scent in the air is fabulous!
I love that summer is starting and it's not too hot yet. 
It's a great time to relax and enjoy creating some new projects.

I took some of my artwork to make this "June" calendar. 
The yellow bird has a little "Love" banner in his beak.
Download the desktop calendar here. The pink area is perfect for your computer icon area.

Home is where your Cat is!

This is my BRAND NEW pattern of: Frisky kitty cats- Embroidery ornaments & bowl fillers pattern #426

Stitch up some super quick & unique ornaments or bowl fillers ... 8 designs in one.
There are Cats with toys, food, animals, flowers and a birthday party.
They make great gifts and look amazing sitting on a little shelf or hanging on a tree.... unstuffed makes a great wearable pin.

Isn't this sweet as a package topper!

It's easy to stitch...and just adding a border strip of fabric really adds to it.

I love cats so much!
I am making a dog set next!

Meet Davy!
He is my new kitty... he was a stray and he found his way into our hearts!
He got fixed and all his shots.
He is a sweetie!

But also very frisky and plays alot...especially on us when we sleep.

It was so hard to say good bye to Froy...

My daughter Selina got me a wonderful special necklace for my mother's day gift!

It's May day!

It's already the fifth month of the year!
Time is flying!
Before you know it...summer will be here. I like the weather of spring though...mild but not freezing anymore.  It's a great time to plan out summer ideas and work on projects.  I love working on the garden and flower pots. Plus my daughter is getting married in September, so there is a lot to plan and figure out.
Above is the phone or tablet calendar wallpaper for MAY.  Click here to download it.

The theme for may is Nurture. Time to nurture the garden, and of course your family and yourself.

Enjoy the outdoors...and relax!

Strawberries and Bees....

It is brand new!
You can make all kinds of fun projects with it!

I painted the art work...watercolor...they are my own design. You could make tags, stickers, add as embellishments to scrapbooking, journals pages, add to crafts, frame, and much more!

I made ornaments for my tree...I have a narrow white tree up all year round....for all the holidays and right now I have a spring/summer theme.

I made a variety of art this month.
This large watercolor painting is nothing but doodle!
I drew whatever I liked ... all together...it reminds me of doodles on a "pee chee"folder in school.

For this one I was thinking about under the sea and summertime. 
It is not my usual but It sure was fun.

These are mickey type mice...friendship!
I love how the hearts are green.

This one is "May"...
hoping that you have an amazing month!
Until next time!
