but first finishing something else :

A pug cushion , designed by Shelly Hawley-Yan ( she is a great designer and a great animal lover, too).
When a friend of ine asked me to stitch a pug for her granddaughter , who has a fancy for all things pug, I did not have a design, since I can only design from RL portraits. Fortunately I remembered Shelly having published this particular one in American miniaturist. The colors are a glowing , somehow, like jewels, and I really like it.Thank you Shelly !!

The pillow will be mailed this week.
