one of my cupcakes in Stitch!

 A happy surprise!  Last week I received a copy of "Stitch Gifts Special Issue" with my little cupcake inside. 

I sent a few cupcakes off to be photographed last June & never heard back ... so I was thinking sad thoughts.  (I had a bad experience last year with a different publisher.)

My neighbors probably think I'm crazy with all the hooting & hollering I did.  (happy dance!)

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!
