i just received my winter 09 issue of living crafts in the mail yesterday. and i must say, it's quite a thrill to see something you've created in print (my ornaments are in the 'good finds' section, and my doll sweater is in the 'ready to wear' section, as a companion to the girl's red holiday cardigan). i just love this magazine and eagerly await each issue. i was a charter subscriber and definitely feel a special bond to it. and now it holds an even more special place in my heart.
and i also want to give credit where credit is due. to a very special person who inspired me to make the two things that are featured in the magazine - my twin sister, shannon. she is the one who taught me how to make the ornaments. and also inspired my doll sweater pattern when she made this lovely little sweater for maya's special baby. thank you, shannon! you are an inspiration in more ways than you can imagine and i love you very much!
yours in thankfulness and inspiration,
shelley

congratulations. what a great feeling. i just discovered living crafts last issue, haven't gotten this one yet, but can't wait to see your handiwork!
mmmm. Really lovely. Your work is heavenly! Were you and your sister Waldorf kids growing up? Or are you both Waldorf "kids" now? Just curious ; ) I adore your handwork! Congratulations!

i can't wait for my issue to arrive all the way to germany.
I have seen the magazine on various blogs but I don't think it is available in the UK. It looks like a really interesting craft magazine - congratulations for being featured in there
Congratulations! That's so exciting. Thank you for reminding me to get a subscription to this magazine! Can't wait for my first issue to arrive. Clara (Edie's doll) needs sweater to fight off a chill!
I just got my copy yesterday too and have been pouring over it. I love the sweater and can't wait to attempt making one too! It is amazing to make a connection with someone you've never met! Blogging is wondering!
Ah! I posted on flickr but haven't posted here yet..
CONGRATS SHELLEY! This is so wonderful. What a sweet post,too crediting your sister <3 <3 Your sister sounds as amazing as you are! <3

Congratulations, Shelley! What beautiful projects. I can't wait to get my issue, I love this magazine. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Just got mine, well done! I see other Etsy crafters there as well. I wonder if the makers contacted the mag or the other way?
I think I've waited most of my life for this magazine. It's a big Yay! My daughter are in heaven.
Congratulations! How wonderful to be in print! XXxx
