A month of squares only 2 behind

I've finally compiled my squares for the month of June. I'm only 2 months behind, am I bothered? no, I'll get there eventually. Life's too short to stuff a mushroom. What I mean is, there's so much happening, just normal life, really, that my poor guddled brain can only take so much, so anything else trying to get in just can't ;) Simple. (It took me a couple of sleep disturbed nights to work that out, only a couple, honest!)


It's not the best photo in the world. After 2 beautiful sunny days here which I spent earning my living indoors, it was truly foul here today,  when I had the oportunity of getting some rays. Sod & his law, I guess. Meh. So, no light. I had a wonderful time tho, using up all the ink in the printer making little baby versions of 42 out of 50 of those postcards I sent around the world to celebrate my half century.  I look at them & can't believe they're my little pieces of work. I look at them all in one big month of squares & I'm delighted.

I might try & find the other 8, I know where one is & I've asked if i can 'lift' it off the blog post it's on. Can you do that? It must be possible otherwise why would people say not to use their images? Can anybody spare a minute to tell me how?

I've also made a strtip of 6 squares, after such a long time - this one's for you, Rini!


Again, excuse the lack of light, there's only so much you can do with auto balance to take away some of the flatness.

Bits & pieces from my box, coloring & stitching on a piece of metal ( tricky trying to avoid it looking like a face in a gasmask!) numbers & letters remains, more box bits, left from cardmaking. So this is the first strip from August. As I said I'll get to July. It took a while to make myself do 'today's' square instead of just trying to catch up with squares gone by. I seem to need order in my life, can't imagine why!

I've made a few cards, they do well in the studio.


I look forward to using some of this booty I got at the French brocante last month. I'm so envious when fellow bloggers get to go regularly to markets & finally after a while, I got my chance :)


Some lovely lace, books, bits of paper a baby grappling hook (?) & 2 hooks 'crochet' in French, rather apt but I might use them in my greenhouse.

I had fun making a birthday card for my middlest who was 18 yesterday - he had a good night out anyway! - if there's any light tomorrow, I'll take a pic.

'night.
