a surprise!

Imagine my surprise when I received an email inquiring about the bride and groom finger puppets featured in the August '09 edition of "Wedding Ideas" magazine (United Kingdom).

What?   When did this happen?   How could I be featured in a magazine & not even know about it?   Wow!  

The person was kind enough to send me a scan of the pages where I was mentioned.   The article profiled a wedding for which I had stitched puppets as favors.   There was a nice little photo of one of my puppets and mention of my website and a plug for Etsy.

Here is my photo of the bride and groom puppets that I made for the wedding couple.

What a nice surprise!

Paul McCartney is coming to town

I don't actually have tickets to the Paul McCartney Green Concert at Piedmont Park tomorrow, but I live right down the street.

I will probably be out walking with my sweetheart thereabouts during the concert.

I think around 30,000 tickets have been sold, so things should get interesting in the neighborhood tomorrow evening.

The stage is HUGE!   Those little black rectangles in front of the stage are garbage cans (maybe 3-1/2 foot tall or so) to give you an idea of scale.

bloggy goodness

Busy, busy, busy! I have been all over the place lately.

I'm hosting a Halloween postcard swap over at ATCsforALL.com. There's still room for a few more sign-ups!

I'm working on puzzle creation for my 6th puzzle book.   I am hoping to have it done this Fall, but it is a struggle.

I'm also trying to build up stock for my Etsy shop.   Last year I sold most of my puppets by December 1st & spent the following 3 weeks stitching at a frenzied pace to keep up.   wheee!   Just trying to be better prepared this year.
