Waiting for June

Puh,now are my May blocks done,and I can have some quiet days waiting for June. 
I hope the June blocks will come with sunny,warm days . May has been the coldest here in Norway since 1996. I want to put away my warm jackets and wear t-shirts... 
And be able to sit outside and stich...  :-)
Hope you all have great stitching days. 
Hugs from Laila :-)

Your blocks are lovely Laila. I can believe it is cold there - my daughter is traveling through Norway at the moment - up through Sweden across to Nordkappe and now coming south through Norway and I can see in her photos how cold it is and so much snow! Happy stitching!
