It's the little things
Like a photo of some slippers in a magazine.
MY photo of slippers I MADE in a MAGAZINE! They asked permission, credited the photo with my name and blogsite, sent me a copy, and EVERYTHING!
The magazine is Mollie Makes, a UK-based magazine for makers, thrifters, collectors, crafters. It was waiting in my stack of mail upon returning from Chicago. So fun!
The slippers are Hopsalots, of course, by tiny owl knits.
I'm quite pleased. I sell both the pattern and the yarn I used, Stitch Nation by Debbie Stoller Full O' Sheep, at my *tiny* and slowly growing shop, Make.Do. I hope soon to have some items listed online -- especially some Make.Do Hand-Dyes.
If there's a holiday you observe this weekend -- and even if there's not -- I hope you're having a great one!
I hope you have a great one too. equal to a photo of your slippers in a magazine! Nice!

Well, I love them, love them, love them, but you already know that. I've never seen Mollie Makes, but I'm going to have to check it out. I don't know why, but I keep thinking that you could end up getting some inquiries about photographing knitting for patterns. Congratulations!!!!
