An unexpected, but very happy surprise came in the mail. It's the latest issue of Australian Homespun magazine sent directly from the publisher. I received it because they printed a bit about me in their "Reader's Showcase."
See page seven!
I'm so tickled to have my slippers - AKA "Sassy Slip-ons" - included, let alone find myself mentioned in the company of two very good friends who are both as talented as can be, Di Jobbins and Jenny Reynolds! Wow!
Back in June, I blogged about these slippers. Since then, besides making occasional appearances on my feet, these slippers were also shown at the 2010 Iowa State Fair (alas, no ribbon was won). Now Australian Homespun. My goodness.
Who woulda thunk it!?
Gosh, I'm (almost) famous! :-))
ReplyDeleteCongrats! You deserve it!
