June Plans

This year I want to focus on 2 larger pieces and then spend the rest of my stitching time on the series I have started.  The order I stitch them in is going to be determined by the WIPGO Board.  Jessie-Marie calls two numbers each month and those will be the projects I stitch that month. 

In May the numbers 5 and 19 were called.  These related to Mirabilia's Fairy Idyll and Nora Corbett's Zodiac Girl.

Here's where Fairy Idyll finished, I stitched all her wing and some more of the rabbit:

My fourth Zodiac Girl will be Scorpio:

For June, the numbers 21 and 23 were called.  These relate to Cottage Garden Year in the Woods and Cricket Collection's Summer.

I actually finished The Swans earlier this year so I have decided to work on Summer until it is done and then decide if I want to start another design in the Year in the Woods series or use the time for something else.  Summer will take more than 14 days to complete.

Here's where I am after 5 days, I have stitched the second M and the E this month:

It's so difficult to get a good photo of the fabric which is a lovely greeny-yellow in real life.

Finally, my evening projects for June will be the Annie Beez 12 Days of Christmas Stockings.
