Oh May - Oh My

I have enjoyed celebrating May For Me with all of my followers. This has been a terrific month long birthday party and I recommend it to anyone. Celebrate YOU!! AND today IS my Birthday and a whole week left to celebrate!!

I so want to share this wonderful gift that I so unforgivenly forgot in showing with Pauline's package (swap). This beautiful card was handpainted by Pauline - I had taken it upstairs to see if I had a nice frame for it - YES I want to frame this - and forgot in the original photo. Pauline has a site for her paintings here so please go visit.




FOR FUN

I am still playing with my 'brights'. I have 4 segments now and still playing around with them on how to set them into this puzzle. I do have a border and backing fabric ready, so once I get the center finalized this will be quickly finished up.





FINISHES

I finished the 'Flirting With Flowers' wallhanging. This was a BOM on Vicki's The Pickledish Patch site (originally called Toz's Corner). I changed some elements, being a beginner in applique. I added buttons (eliminated circles), beading, and different embroidery.

This little wallhanging 'Daisy-Do' was a free project on Jennifer Reynold's Elefantz blog. I, also, changed this one up from the original in leaving out a section and putting the ones I did in a different order. Again - oh my, my buttons.

This is my entry into the ModaBakeShop Monthy Contest - May - home decor. An easy charm table runner using 'Arnold's Attic' and muslin. I used one of the tutorials from the site to make the flowers in my cute little crock. And had to add one of my little piggies.

And the cross stitch is finally done! Oh, I hate kits, the floss in them is so bad - I fought knots and breakage the whole way. Now to find a nice frame for it.


MAY FOR ME

I have all my monthly goals done and still have a week to play. I want to have fun with Sew Mama Sew's May 23rd bloggers' list give aways. I have stayed away from a lot of give aways of late, but I think I will just love to browse the blogs. Besides - it's my birthday and I can treat myself to some fun.

This week we deserve some desert. This is so simple and kid friendly. A pineapple round, sliced strawberries arranged in pretty petals, a dab of vanilla yougurt, and top with a berry. You can change her up anyway that fancies you. Different berries, whipped cream, ice cream or sorbert, some granola sprinkled on top or a drizzle of chocolate.
