I've been published!

I was so excited to get this in the mail: my copy of ZenDoodle, Tons Of Tangles, from Northlight books.

This is the first time any of my 2-D art has been in print. I've had my dolls and felted sculptures in magazines and books, but seeing my black and white zentangles was a special thrill.

And it all began on Facebook, with a call to share zentangles! The publisher saw mine and contacted me. So yay for Facebook!

Here are the TWO pages I'm featured on! Now you know what zentangles are!

Doing my best

I spent ages getting the Doll Street NewsByte ready this morning. This afternoon, I asked who got it on FaceBook, only to get a negative reply. So, I checked it out and no, I don't think it was sent. Here's the link: http://www.aweber.com/t/LWeOE

It's frustrating. Aweber is not the easiest thing to navigate. I must have skipped a step. Argh! Anyway, I just found it again and sent it off. Now I hope people don't get it twice!

I was telling everyone about Victoria DiPietro's Poppet class. This class will be amazing and I want everyone to see how great a teacher Victoria is.

Blog giveaway

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who commented on my blog. It was great to hear from Connie, Judy and so many of you. I am making so many new friends with my blog and new facebook page; it's just amazing!

The winners of the 1812 costuming class have been drawn from the hat. The hat is my admiral's hat, complete with feathers, which I wear when I chair meetings. Shahsi Nagayam, a friend from Doll Street was the first name out of the hat. I am just waiting to hear back from the others before publishing their names and awarding their prizes. If I can't contact them, I'll draw a new name next week.

Thanks again! I'll be posting the other two names soon!!

Have a great Superbowl weekend!

Me and Facebook are now friends

So I decided to join the 21st Century. I joined Facebook. I've been thinking about it for ages and finally got around to doing it. My son has coached me through the basics, especially when I saw the ENORMOUS amount of email landing in my mailbox from Facebook. Settings have been adjusted.

I'm looking forward to connecting with people in a whole new way. I'm still trying to work out how to post video, but all in good time, my friends, all in good time. What's that about old dogs and new tricks?

Now to figure out the links for it...

Pattern update

Tilly now has clothes to wear and the pattern has been drafted. Now for some instructions. Friday is always devoted to dolls, so off I go!

Not Carved In Stone

Today is also the day to list some things in my Etsy store. I am getting better at doing that, too. Check it out later today.
