Making Hay While the Sun Shines

Hi everyone, while I've been sitting here with my leg in the air I have been able to really get stuck into some stitcheries.  I know that in a weeks time I may be getting a walking cast on and I also know that I really want to spend a lot of time learning to walk properly - something that I haven't been able to do for a few years.
So, with that in mind I have got three months worth of the SAL done - I hope you don't mind Chookyblue but I really do think I might be getting busy.  So, without further ado here is April & May's sampling followed by a couple for June.  So Miss Chooky, can I please be marked as 'done'?
Woops, blogger isn't letting me play with my pics, sorry, these are the best I can get.
Happy stitching
hugs
Miche'le

Your blocks look lovely. Sometimes we have to get things done when we have the time. Hope all goes well and you will be up and walking soon.
