What Have I Been Doing?

I usually try to post finishes, but I've been working on about six different things at a time and not finishing any.

I do have my Birdie Stitches from Little Miss Shabby completed for May (and started June):


I think this is my favorite so far!  

+++++++++
And I wish I could say I finished Single Girl, but I have finished cutting out all of the pieces for the circle for a king size quilt:


That means making the templates, tracing each one on fabric and cutting it out - whew - a lot of work.  I can't wait to finish this one!
+++++++++++

I working on a tutorial that I hope to have finished very soon!!!
It's something all new to me, so I hope it turns out!

+++++++++
And lucky for me, I've been spending a lot of time with this little sweetie:


Yes, there is a typo, but I still think it's pretty cute!

I love your stitchery and the Single Girl looks great. Good for you cutting out all those template pieces. I don't think I'm as brave as you. Audrey is beautiful as always. I'm in the same boat as you...many projects in the works, no finishes for a while!

Hey, Mary, I just love how you are doing your Birdie Stitches. I'm itching to do that BOM, but I have too many right now. Been carefully saving the file. :)

I wondered if you would like to put this post on my BOMs Away link-up "party" at this url?
