Little Dot

I have a new project in this months issue of Homespun Magazine. That rather straight forward sentence doesn't begin to convey how excited I am by this project.

 Much earlier this year I was asked by Homespun to create a little toy for them. The editor had been particularly taken with Baxter in his bathrobe and wondered if we could come up with something that would work for the magazine. I had never imagined creating a softie story for a magazine and really wondered if it would work (yes I am a control freak as we all know). I got hold of the magazine yesterday and
I love it !
So here (in the green) is Little Dot.  Her story along with her pattern are in the magazine and yes I have had magazine projects projects before and yes they are always exciting....
but this one has me buying copies for my mum and shoving the magazine at anyone who stands still for a minute or two.
My name is Jodie and right now I am loving myself sick.

(much much thanks to Susan for making this happen-you are an egg of the finest quality)

  6. Who could not have been taken with Baxter in his bathrobe? I know I was. Little Dot looks delightful - is that her little pink baby she's holding? I curse that I can't read the full story, not being in Australia land but I'm sure it will bring you even more adoring fans.
