I did not know about this in advance of the release date of this magazine... although obviously I sent in some photos to TBCI. Wow and THANK YOU for posting this, Anne. How exciting! I did hear about this from a fellow TT-er, but that was just yesteday, and I haven't seen the page yet. I didn't know there were two pictures... and what looks like a pretty nice write up. So thank you; it's great to see this for real. I have only been published a handful of times so it's very exciting, in a giddy little-girl kind of way, every time it happens.
Thanks again for letting me know, and giving me a sneak peek. Luckily I have a subscription so I can check it out in a month or so for myself, when it arrives!

Thank you all for your congratulations... they are appreciated! And extra thanks to the last three of you, who called me "girl" in your posts. I will be turning the Big 4-0 at the end of this week and I feel about as far from being a "girl", number-wise anyway, as I've ever felt. Inside, though, I'm still a wee brat!

I seem to recall a few months ago someone giving me heck for whinning about feeling old when I was turning 41...who might that have been? 
40's....the new 30's (or so I've been reading)...it only gets better from here on out!!!!
Congrats on your article...much deserved recognition as always....way to go BRAT!!
bears by beesley TMShelli and Judi! Do you two know how proud we are of both of you? You are two lovely ladies who we (this forum) have had privilage to know and learn from! Love you both, and wish only the best is yet to come for both of you!
Many Hugs Louise
Congratulations Shelli :hug: :dance: :clap: :clap:
Posts: 8,574Oh WOW!!!! WoooHooo Shelli and Judi i am so happy for you both!
Louise- you have an avatar! Its beautiful, remarkably, I think I recognize the style. I am so happy you have one now....
We do have truly remarkable talant on this board. I don't know about some of you others who aren't as experienced, but this is how I feel:
I feel like the big girls let me hang out with them. It's like how I felt when my sister, who was 10 years older than I, let me go with her to the movies with her friends. Now probably she had been told she couldn't go if she didn't take me, but, I didn't know that at the time. I thought I was just really really lucky . Well that's how I feel here. The grown ups are letting me play with them again.
And here's the neat thing, because of the type of artists we have here, our own learning curve is cut, drastically. Where it might have taken Shelli 6 months of experimenting and maybe even a few eyes not good enough to use, well she shared what she knew with us, so we could start out with good looking eyes right off the bat. Of course it is up to us to take that and expand it, work it and make it ours.....but gollygeewhillikers.....we got a heads up....here's-what-to-do-lesson.
I think I am very lucky to get to learn from some of the best artists in the field, and Shelli and Judi are tops in my book.
Gee, what an incredibly lovely thing to say. Thank you, Dilu, and everyone. But do remember, I learn from you all, too... every day. Stuff about proportions, sewing, mohair types, thread, wax, shading media, stuffing, and dyeing; things related to computers, geography, nations, countries, and languages. And so on. It's not a one-way street, so don't put too much emphasis on "martyr." I get a LOT out of participating here... not the least of which is the sense that I have REAL friends, all over this great globe we live on.
Much love,
