Gorgeous work this month. I love the thread for the first piece, how nice that it's a DMC and easy to get! I also love the Seaside Calendar and can't wait to see the 12 Days from Satsuma Street.

Whoa honey you are a stitch demon! I love all your projects, such a great eclectic variety you have there. The Nougat Aida really sets off Spring Mandala that is going to look stunning. It's amazing already.
