a quiet morning
ahhh............ a crisp autumn morning, children back at school, coffee, fresh baked oatmeal raisin cookies and a magazine!
since i got home from seattle i have done nothing but live and breathe fibre (so whats new!) i was lucky enough to get a job with a magazine here working on a new section they have introduced called handmade. i thought i was going to design a little toy but when i got there to my great delight there were a few pages and a few projects! so i have been very busy but have to keep the goodies under wrap till publication - july.
yesterday we had the photo shoot so i had to be super organised - i think i was -i was watching seinfeld at midnight the night before finishing up - that keeps a girl cheery, i can't help but laugh. i really enjoyed the shoot - great working with the photographer who had a fantastic eye. we worked all day and it was hard work but so much fun. when we were all done i had a wee lie down on the couch and had to literally peel myself off to do the school pick up!
this little tweeter was something i had made for the shoot but sadly for her she didn't make the cut. but she did make the blog!!
I love the little bird! It is so adorable!

I'll have the bird for my spring window if she needs a home

It sounds very interesting with your job for the magazine....no wonder that they like your ideas :0)
I like the peace and the quiet time as well, when the kids have gone off to school....It is a time to relax before the day really begins!
I see you are drinking your morning tea in a Danish designed cup (Greengate) ;0) I have some from the same line - mine are just dotty in red and blue....

This little birdie is so very lovely. I want to try my hand at felting a toy but I have NO idea where to start and fear that it is more time consuming than I can manage....but I wish....Jen

He is so cute, shyly looking up at us - and what an idyllic moment after such busyness - congratulations on your job - great to be paid for doing what you love. What is the magazine called? Hope we can get it over the ditch.

What a sweet felty bird - he looks so comfortable next to that gorgeous tea cup. Good luck in the new role - sounds like a dream job!
