May Day May Day

 

Monthly marker for this new month of May. It was a very challenging April for me, so this is a May Day, May Day post.  

Based on using this picture of a calendar towel from 1975 at my mom's, manipulated in KaleidaCam and SnapSeed. This wasn't normally hung up here, which is why it looks brand new. Usually she had one by the artist, VERA, so I think she didn't care for this one as much. It's also "mixed-media" with the glued on felt flowers. I think she found it while going through all of her stuff before we moved her out of the house she's lived in since 1972.  So yes, it's been a rather "full" April for me.😵😵😵

 

Here's the 1SE video for 30 seconds of my April. I was really surprised at this video. I'm honestly so tired at the moment that I'd forgotten all about unpacking from the retreat, our trip to San Francisco and celebrating Passover with my SIL family earlier in April. Good thing I've been documenting as I go, huh?

Monthly I-Did List for APRIL

1. I documented my work at the BAMQ retreat.
2. I stitched on Snake In The Garden with new thread bought at Britex in SF.
3. I worked on finishing the initial clue piecing for the Old Town Mystery quilt.
4. I completed the design and quilting of the BAMQ challenge piece.
5. I started quilting the Slopes quilt and trimmed the edges.

I'm astonished at just how much I got done last month, given the traveling and all the effort on getting my mom moved out.  I posted on Blue Sky 32 times, Flashes 6 times, Instagram 4 times.
