A day for celebrating

24th Oct
2006

“Good news and bad news” is how Nicole started the email. My heart sank and fluttered at the same time in anticipation. I read on. Bad news is that the pincushion bracelet did not make the book because a different bracelet was considered. Fair enough.

Good news is my plush pincushion AND sewing kit made the cut. The only catch is that instead of a turtle they would like to see a Porcupine and a different color bottle for the sewing kit.

So I am super stoked and ready to do some revisions. If my final products are approved I am looking at being a published crafter and will be on my way to a successful start. Maybe 2006 won’t be such a terrible year after all. LOL

I’m off to start making the changes requested. Look for plenty of updates on these projects.

Wish me luck!

Cool! I made a pincushion with a pill bottle a few weeks ago, though mine is not as functional as yours. Very cute!!

they wanted like 7 or 8 styles of mine… big hit out of the park she said. Most are bottlecaps (eyes, ladybug, flower basket, violets, etc..) but they also want my retro amoeba with a couple small changes, and my vibrant larger vinework ones…
