Wow what a month, LOL.  In spite of the work leading up to the Creativ Festival (in Toronto), I managed to work on THREE projects this month - and finish TWO of them!  I'm so proud of myself, ROFLOL.

Of course I am still working on the set of 4 wallets (remember I showed you the first 2 in Feb)... and I got the third one stitched (but not assembled), so the CAT is done this far (I think that w/o the button eyes in place, he looks like a zombie cat LOL):

So that was the first thing I finished ...  then I was looking at what to release to shops this month, and I thought "we haven't released a new Little Leaflet in a long time!", so I dug out my idea books, and scrolled through my in-progress designs, and came up with an adorable little silhouette of a child on a hobby horse, with the saying RIDE MORE... WORRY LESS (GBG).  It will be in next month's newsletter, so here's a peek at just a bit of it:

But of course, my favorite project I've been working on every spare minute (mainly while watching a WORLD OF DANCE marathon from our PVR, LOL), is the LOUIS ARMSTRONG piece in blues (of course).  I have Louis' head and shoulders finished, and I still have to stitch a few fingers on his trumpet hand, and then the trumpet next... the wording will be last, and I'll be done, LOL, should be any time now!  Just a reminder that this piece is for A NEEDLE PULLING THREAD, so won't be released any time soon... I've been talking to them about doing a series, since the first one (AUDREY HEPBURN - POSSIBLE) was in the magazine a couple years ago, so we'll see about that...

The stitcher working on DANCE WITH ME (the outline of a little girl dancing on a swirly water-color style background) sent an update, and she's about 3/4 done... I think this is going to be one of my favorite designs - but I say that a lot, ROFLOL...

I have TWO stitcher's waiting for projects as well - one is a Keirstead piece that is ALMOST designed, and the other is an idea similar to my SNOWBALLS & BELLS, only with Santa and Mrs Claus - and honestly, I haven't done more than preliminary drawings and idea notes for that collection... so still lots on my designing plate - and needle! 

What's on YOUR needle?
