• June 11th - NOPE - finished up Year in Chalk for July
• June 18th - NOPE - Worked on Sneek
• June 25th - YES - I actually worked on Tapestry

Week 22 - A couple of finishes

Monday and Tuesday I worked on Ink Circles' Tapestry.
Here is where it eventually ended up for the month.  It is now back into the WIP pile, but will be at least partial focus WIP in June

Wednesday I decided it was time to bit the bullet and finally decide on colours for my aunt's wedding sampler.  I knew the pattern and work colours, but that was all.
I worked on this for the rest of the week, except for Friday night, and managed to get it finished!
I just have to iron and take it in for framing.

Bent Creek's Wedding Row
32ct white lugana, Threadworx and DMC

Friday I felt like working on something other than wedding row, so I started and finished the 6th part to the Blackwork Tangram. 

Blackwork Tangram - Peppermint Purple
32ct white lugana, recommended DMC

I really enjoyed this, and will be doing the Dutch tiles.  I also picked up a couple of patterns from her Etsy page.  I can see me starting the tea cups in the near future.
Hope you all had a great week!

June 2018 Plans

Can you believe it is already June??

Here are my plans for the month:

1) ORNAMENT A MONTH

• I'm not ready for my next series, so it will be a random ornament this month

2) YEAR IN CHALK

• July is kitted and ready to go

3) SAL - Long Dog Samplers Mystery - Sneek

• Start and finish Part 4 (maybe 5 as well)

4) BLACKWORK - Free SAL from Peppermint Purple

• The 6th and final part will be released on June 1st.

5) FOCUS WIP

• I am going to keep giving Tapestry some attention
• I also want to get caught up on the Long Dog Sal, so I might split focus between Tapestry and it.

6) NEW START

• On May 31st I had a new start.  I would like to finish this the fist week of June as it is a gift for an upcoming wedding.

7) INK CIRCLES MONDAY

• Every Monday give an ink circles pattern at least a little love.
• Use the hashtags #InkCirclesMonday in Instagram
