Bye bye June


 

In June 2014 I

smelled and gathered roses
saw the gang again (I am sure they are the very same)
fell in love with Vish Puri
saw the house getting a new coat of pretty gray paint
dreamed of a new patio
and
saw one being build
sewed some cushions and throws 
(thank you Jane, Jane and Elf M for the beautiful materials)
both inside
and
to the finished deck (yes, we have one now, all we need is the warm weather)
witnessed the wonderful halo
tried my best with gardening in storm and cold
had logs on a fireplace in Midsummer (and woolen socks too most days)
watched enough football to last a lifetime
had  some lovely guests

and

now I am quite happy to say goodbye to it
and welcome July and sunshine with all my heart

Yours,
Mia

Awe well despite the chill in the air it looked a pretty good June to me!
Love the cat and birdie cushions, the deck looks wonderful and the midnight sun may not have been warm but at least it was there!
And I imagine very welcome guests too. :)
Happy July my friend,

Hello Anne,

Thank you, we love the deck, nut it has been so cold that we haven't been able to use it as much as I would have wished (I dream of knitting there for hours!). I wish it is more beautiful at yours?

Happy July!

Yours,
Mia

Mia,
Your deck looks beautiful. So nice to have. I bet kids are enjoying it too. June is over now and I can't believe it!

Love the bird cushion.

This time of the year...

Usually around this time, when children go back to school, and you can just about to smell the autumn, I start to dig deeper in my fabric...
