Just like that.
Halfway through the year already. How did that happen?
The aerial map is filling up so quickly.
June days:
I really like the way the days are such different shapes on this year’s template. It feels like life. Some days feel longer or wider than others; some days have sharp corners; some days have crossing paths. Some days feel like running just to stand still.
Some days were too hot.
Every day, as always, just choosing thread and colour, letting stitches fall wherever they land. Marking the passage of time.
Today we can see the back of June.
And tomorrow, July. Between times, the cloth lives in this cover. Part embroidery, part patchwork. If you missed it, you can read about the making of the cover here

Half the year. Well, tempus fugit and all that. I always enjoy examining “your” days, and I try very hard not to copy, although it’s a temptation.
I admit to not quite keeping up to date, and tomorrow I’ll jump to July, and fill in the few days left behind. I still haven’t discovered your trick of only spending 20-30 mins on each section, so I guess I’m overthinking and not simplifying enough. But I’m enjoying it.
tempus absolutely fugit! Missing days doesn’t matter in the least – you can either backfill or leave them blank, however you wish. Some days do take more than 20-30 minutes, but most don’t – it just depends on how much time I’ve got and where/when I’m stitching. If I’m stitching in the evening while listening to music or the TV then it can take longer if it wants to, only because I’m sitting down anyway with nothing else to do. Glad you’re enjoying it 🙂
How fun
therapeutic too
