Munificent May

 Welcome to Munificent May, I'm looking forward to the flower-filled lovely month ahead. Munificent has always been a word I enjoy seeing in use, so I'm taking the opportunity to use it here. It means magnanimous or generous, which sounds like a good sort of May to me. The monthly marker is made with Percolator and SnapSeed. It's a combination of two of my pictures from April.
First, I started with this picture of my now finished kawandii, 

and then I edited it in Percolator.
Then in SnapSeed I combined it with this picture of the Moss Lady statue in Beacon Hill Park in Victoria, BC, Canada.
Here's my One Second Every Day video for April

Monthly I-Did List for April

  1. I worked on the second BAMQ Creative Play piece that got handed to me
  2. I started a new quilt for the BAMQ exhibit at the SMCF, quilting it with the walking foot
  3. I continued assembling Ocean Effect for the BAMQ exhibit at SCMF.
  4. I started working on the Clover quilt pillowcase and finished it for the BAMQ UFO challenge.
  5. I made some more Mosaic blocks at Sew Day 
  6. finished my Kawandii just in time for BAMQ UFO challenge.
Doesn't seem like a whole lot, but there are two finishes in there which feels pretty great, as well as starting a completely new piece. It's been a fractured sort of month because I did some international traveling in the middle of April, when we went up to visit family in Nanaimo, BC, Canada for a week,  Hiking happened on our trip to Canada, along with continuing to regularly go to the gym the rest of the month. I went to BAMQ Sew Day. I was fairly active on social media, posted here on le blogue only 18 times,...over on BlueSky 34 times, on Flashes 5 times, and on Instagram  times.
