Hip, Hip, Hooray! Magazine Debut

So thrilled to be included in the Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Crafts 2010 issue!


I'm tickled pink to have my Woodland Trees Pillow featured along with a short bit on little 'ol me and instructions to make a variation of this fun pillow.



Better Homes contacted me last year....how did I possibly keep a secret for this long? I think mostly because I was so nervous I'd end up as an honorable mention or maybe it would turn out to be a joke... Well, in any case, all my nerves were for nothing because hot darn there I am on page 16.  And what makes me proudest is all the other amazing crafters & designers included in this magazine...it really is a happy & inspiring issue!


Ok...now back to more celebrating!
