this is the cover of the magazine.
and inside - i designed a christmas mouse and baby to make.

Way cool! I love it! I need to get a copy.

Okay....I raced out to the newsagents and their copy wasn't due until the next day! So I went back the next day...of course. The article is fantastic. You have been so generous to share one of your signature patterns with the world. Thank you for doing so. I can't wait to make one. Jen

I have been waiting for Homespun to arrive at the newsagents ever since they gave us a heads up in No. 65 that there would be something from you. I have been reading your blog for a while now and thoroughly enjoy it. Your wee mousie is adorable, I think I will make her for next Christmas though.
take care

Now, If only I could find that magazine in the US.....do you have any ideas where?
I've been waiting for more 'etsys'.....my little Caitlyn loves her precious gnome you made long ago (year). Now we have a new precious Olivia who may need a friend also :o)
Bless you!

Oh Louise
I haven't bought a Homespun mag for quite awhile, yet something compelled me to flick thru one at the newsagent the other day - only to find you in there!!! I bought it straight away - a little bit of you at my place, cool!
