Bursting

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.
