Today I have very good news to share!
Today I sold a book!!! My easter book--only no pig--it's gotta be a rabbit. I guess people only want chicks and rabbits on easter not pigs. I was trying to be different. ah well...So, there are some revisions to do--but holy smokes--I'm an author and illustrator again!!!
I was wondering if that was ever going to happen again~~~well, NOW it's happening! We have yet to discuss the timeframe and my deadline but I imagine we're looking at 2011 here. Now it's going to be a real challenge to keep the holiday decor in the etsy shoppe going and this book. But I don't want to give up the holiday crafting---I hope I can find a way to produce a few things at least.
Now I guess they all will be very limited editions!
Anyhow, tonite we drink champagne! I've waited for this for quite a long time. I feel good.
And luckily I finished up my atcs for Amy's Halloween Swap just in the nick of time! These little buggers took me quite a while to make but I'm happy with the result. Just give me some crepe paper and pipe cleaners and vintage seals and I'm a happy camper. Yes, indeedy.
And I made little trick or treat bags to put them in, with an extra treat or two.
Hopefully I'll catch up on somethings now.
And My boy turns 7 in a few days--there's a lot to celebrate! I can't help but notice the coincidence of 7 btw. And I can't resist ending this post with this image from my first book:
Yep, I guess I still got it.
Allelueia!

Hello,
I found you on flickr and was wondering if you ever found information on how to make those lovely little spun cotton figures? I would very much appreciate information for tutorials on making them, thank you so much for your time.
Blessings,Flora
