At my house there are four types of mail.
Junk.
Bills.
Arrivals (something ordered).
But the most wonderful by far is SURPRISE mail!
Yellow graphic paper Congratulations! you've been published mail!
On a complete whim I made an apron last year at Miss Keren's prompting for a UCreate with me blog party.
My design was warmly received in this generous community.
Another wonderful blogger Suzy from Georgia Peachez suggested I send it in to Apron*ology.
I must admit I hesitated but then I figured there would be no loss.
Months and months went by before this publication came. I am honored to be amongst so many wonderfully talented artisans. Even a few friends. Most notably, Ruby Jean. If you happen to be out an about in your bookstore you can find me on your shelves. Even if to steal a peek.

So funny, I was at Barnes & Noble today to calm myself after a stressful situation (browsing magazines with a tea does that for me), when I saw the new Apronology. As I'm skimming through it I find one apron that just makes my heart sing (believe me, I actually had that thought in my head, 'this one makes my heart sing'), and I didn't even realize until I got to the end of the article that it was YOU! :D
Congratulations - I love it when I see my favorite blogs published in these great magazines.
So proud for you! Can't wait to see it! Your creations and your comments on my blog always make me smile! Happy Day to you! Sandie
Congratulations is not enough. Let's all do a "virtual happy dance"!
I am so happy for you! Now many others can view your talents. You have inspired a genuine appreciation for aprons...And reminded many of us of those lovely ladies in our lives who wore them. I have an appointment today that will take me near a Books A Million. So, I am going to look for a copy!
Congrats to a well-deserved artisan!
