Bursting
August 21, 2012 You guys.
I've been on the verge of happy tears for the past 4 days because of all the comments you left me saying how much you really like my latest design and how much you would love to make one too.
I don't know how to say this. I love blogging. It motivates me to do my very best when I make something. And then I get to show you what I make. And you get to tell me what you think. And lucky me you are always so complimentary and appreciative and just make me feel so happy.
Yes I like to show you my things because who doesn't enjoy a little external validation now and then? But I also like to show you what is possible in my little world. And I LOVE inspiring people to dream about making pretty things, to want to make pretty things and/or to actually make pretty things.
Creativity is an amazing thing. Somehow I've always known that being creative - especially with needles and thread - makes me happy and keeps me sane.
So.
I have a something new to show you. Something I've been working on for a very long time. And I'm practically bursting at the seams. (The Queen of Punny strikes again!)
But I must wait for one more day to show you my new something.
See you tomorrow.

Well, we are all bursting right along with you,I like that idea Jandy had, just sit here and wait!!! You really do just wonderful things that are so creative and doable!!! Your work always has such a professional look to it when you are finished. Fabric selection is spot on always!!
We,, I think sitting her waiting is a good idea!!

Such soft pretties you are sharing with us..the purse is beautiful and I love the french knots. Nice touch! I am on vacation in So. CA but am definitle keeping up with my favorite blogs.
Oh not fair! I don't want to wait until tomorrow. I, like you, have enjoyed the blogging experience. There are so many wonderful people in this world and the creative ideas just flow when seeing what others create. Your photo's are beautiful and I can't wait for you to publish a book! Make it quick I want that purse!!!

More waiting?! You're killing me!!
AAAIIIIGGGGGHHHH! hope it's a book, hope it's a book, hope it's a book... :) Or a LOT of printable tutorials :)
You are such a tease.... it's also one of the things we love about you! xoxo ;oD Your work is so.pretty. It's perfection... inspiring...to die for....And I am totally with you about being creative, particularly having needle and thread in hand... there is something therapeutic about it... although I not sure my husband is convinced that it is cheaper than therapy LOL....
Uh! No fair! You can't do that! LOL
Such pretty eye candy! I am another one just dying to know what you're up to!
Oh I hate waiting!
I'm laughing at you bursting at the seams ....... if I hadn't called my blog frayed at the edge, I would have called it coming apart at the seams!!
Hey!!! I thought Canadians were friendly??!! Make me wait until tomorrow?? Okay, I'm gonna pout while out running errands today. ;p
I can't wait to see what you'll show us tomorrow! always a pleasure to see your beautiful work.
You do AMAZING work!!! I can't wait for tomorrow
You are too cute... I am on the edge of my seat!
I look forward to reading your blog every day. When it's not there I feel so disappointed. Your work is lovely. I hope to be as good as you when I am an all grown up quilter. I am still in the baby stages of quilting.
Oh boy, it must be sumpin' good! Can't wait, but I guess I have to!!
You deserve all the compliments, you do just wonderful work. Your like me you sew to keep sane. Can't wait to see your new project.
I'm with Kate. I hope it's a pattern book! My feeble attempt at a pencil case is no comparison to yours!
Well you need to tell me ahead of time because I am busy tomorrow having my first great granddaughter! Really! Isn't that a good enough excuse?
Please let it be a book. Please, please please (and let it be downloadable as waiting for the reveal is hard enough without waiting for a publishing date).
I am on pins and needles waiting - hee, hee I did a punny too :-) I'll be back tomorrow!
everything you do is lovely! I cant hardly wait. Is that your new couch?
Greetings from England.
I have just come across your blog in the last week or so and have been franticly reading it at every opportunity.
I always loved autumn colours for quilts and have made many quilts in those colours, along with some really bright scrappy quilts.... now having been going through your blog I've gone through my stash for all my pale coloured fabric (I love lilac and mint greens) and have started stitching them already.
I love your blog, you've had me in stitches (!!) especially with the quote about being armed with an unguarded rotary cutter... brilliant - can't wait for the next installments.

I love the Honey Bee Bag Pattern..my daughter wants me to make her a bag. I will have to show her this bag and see what she thinks..so cute!
