woo!!!! with a side of hoo!!!
i have been keeping a huge secret for what feels like forever!! now i can officially announce, i am super lucky, and super honored to be working with Sterling Publishing, and the most awesome editor ever to bring to the masses a pattern book i will be writing! how crazy is that?? *happy dance!* i will continue to run my online shop, and take part in shows too, i will also be working on an in depth book on how to sew plush dolls at the same time! yay!!
okay...now that is out of my system... 2 things!
1. this saturday is the opening for Plush! at "hello my name is gallery" in Connecticut. normally i wouldn't attend openings that i have my plush in due to the shows being far away, but this one is close enough that i will be at the opening. so if you are nearby, i hope you can come too! i have put the kitty girl dolls in this show.
2. the webshop update is delayed to next monday, but as you can see from the first picture, there will be brand new teacups, sasquatches, and yetis! so check in Monday!
alright..i think that is all for now. back to sewing... have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!!
Yay! Congratulations, that is fantastic news!

Congratulations! How exciting! I am a long time (lurker) fan. I can't wait for your book to come out about how to sew plush dolls! I just tried my first sortof softie (with a bandanna, ha!) and it did not come out too well...*LOL*...It made me appreciate your work so much more! I'm not giving up though, the fabric thing is so addicting!
