The last 6 squares of the month.
Can you guess what the first one is? The second, cigar rubbish, some sweet wrappers from the staff room - yes, I had to eat them first! My friend from Buckinghamshire, the village where I lived for 6 years as a stepping stone beweeen London & Skye came & stayed with us to look for a house here. I took a day off to be a support & have a nosy ;) Finally, some seed sewing is taking place! And on the 3rd day of looking, a house was bought! Well, the long process was started. It deserved a toast - the best of luck to you!
Another month gone. I'm surprised that the squares have become more of a diary recently, perhaps because sometimes when faced with a simple 3"x3" committment I can find only a physical reminder of what I've been doing that day to use, perhaps influenced by some of the wonderful journals out there in blogland made from the "Remains of the Day". That's a great title of a class, isn't it? & I've enjoyed seeing some of the videos, can't think of any links really, except Jo Reimer had a video.(in the blog roll.)
The garden is certainly coming to life, along with the weeds! Lots of rain recently & a bit of sun with some stunning rainbows. I need to make some time to finish off the winter clear up (yes, in May!) & carry on with the seed sewing. We do have a couple of weeks grace up here, but any later & the shorter season will mean things don't ripen. I'll do what I can do.
What do you think has eaten my beautiful Fritilaria? :( Earwigs?
Not much light in some of these pics, sorry.

i Emma the first square looks like a print of something knitted or crochet ....Lorna
Happy May Day to you. I love seeing the month of squares all together. They really do make a visual journal, remains of the day for sure.
Fritilaria I just love those. We don't have many since we have so many deer to eat everything I plant what they don't eat. Your garden is looking lovely. Nice to visit with an old friend. xo
Am I on the right track that it's a print then ???
Emma, I SO enjoy your squares and together, showing all for the month, they are even more impressive.
Emma I love the "Remains of the Day" idea! I've recently offered a suggestion to a client to collect found goodies on the side of the road to work with in a small collage journal as inspiration for new colorways and pattern ideas (she's a print designer)...so this is another possible twist on that concept...cool, thanks! Your squares are always so much fun and having them be a diary of days is just terrific.
You May Day growing up sounds like so much fun...nothing like that where I grew up or live now.

Every time I see your squares it make me want to take on the challenge myself but I haven't done it yet. They are always so intriguing as a grouping. So many visual moods are conjured by your varied squares.

It is sometime since I was at May morning celebrations. It is always a great atmosphere.
The last square caught my attention this time it reminds me of being in Paris, many years ago enjoying some of that said champagne.
It is the dandelions that are growing faster than any thing else here.
Hi Emma,
Your squares are fabulous as always. Our fritilarias have just been devoured by slugs! Off to put out some organic deterrent now!
