May Wrap Up
Time for another wrap up! I don’t know about anyone else, but this past month went by really quickly for me. In terms of reading, I’m still plodding along fairly slow and steady (hence why I haven’t been that active on here – sorry!), but in terms of embroidery, I had a really productive few weeks. That said, let’s just jump into it.
Books read: 6

Favourite of the month: Tamlin
I had a lot of fun with my embroidery projects in May; revisiting a few more past designs and trying out some new ones. Here were the results:
I had a stall for the first time at a small fete at the end of the month. I’d never done anything like it before, but as it was a chilled, lowkey event at a local boutique hotel, it was a nice way to dip my toe into new waters. It was a good experience, and popping up at craft fairs, markets, and such like is definitely something I’d like to try more of in the future!
I also just gave my Etsy shop a big update in the past couple of days, sprucing up the look of it and adding a bunch of new pieces for sale, including those featured above.
It seems pet updates have become something of a regular feature in these monthly wrap ups, which is fine by me! Ted is around 6 months old now and he continues to be a bundle of cheeky yet delightful energy.
Oscar is as chilled out, patient, and wonderful as ever, and this month also marked 8 years since I got Frankie, so I’ve included a throwback picture of her settling into the house (and my shoulder, lol).
There we have it! Did you have a good month in May? What was the best book you read?
