I did manage to finish both ornaments this month and honestly no other stitching done besides these:

June ornament: Lizzie Kate design

July ornament..another Lizzie Kate design, both from the same serie as the one above.

Aside from work..socializing much too and lots of cooking: especially if one of my kids joined us for dinner. Here, my daughter came for a day on the island from the city.

My son joined as most in the weekend if he is home from the university.

Even after a long work day i do try to prepare foodies for us and do try to spoil them❤️
