MY FIRST COVER!

I'm shocked!!!
Speechless!! This was my first design EVER accepted for a magazine....not to
mention the first one I ever submitted....and it made the COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember this:

Well, here is Miss
Heather modeling it for me

And here it is in the
April 2008 edition of Crochet World Magazine!!

Does this count?

Does this count as being published? It's the January issue of Crochet! Magazine, page 19.

Kim from YouCanMakeThis.com placed an ad in the magazine promoting all the wonderful crochet patterns on the site and she included a picture from one of mine!! It's so cool to see one of my items in a magazine!! Just wait until my patterns are actually in there!!!

Another one bites the dust!!

Yippee!! I mailed off another pattern to a magazine publisher!! This makes #3!! I am so excited!! Now we just sit back and wait for the magazine to come out!! The 4th pattern is not scheduled till spring 2009, so no hurry on writing that one up, LOL!! So here it is, another sneak peak for all you lovely readers!!

OH!!! And Happy Halloween too!!!

And Happy Birthday Katie!

Happy Dance!!

Anyone want to join me in a Happy Dance????? I just got my second design accepted for another crochet magazine!! Now I will be published in two different magazines next year!! And all before June! LOL!!! I'm so excited! What else does 2008 hold for me and Jaybird Designs???

Oh....and this does make me feel a little better about my Leisure Arts booklet being put on hold.

And yes, I did finally manage to get that second scarf done! Wonder if I'll have time to whip up another one before my contract gets here???
