Hey Mom, Look at Me! . . . . Look Mom, Look!!

A couple of months ago, on a Wednesday, I told you that I was busy working on something top-secret and therefore offered a re-run.



Well have no fear, dear reader, because there is no re-run in your future today.


Instead, I am offering you the results of that top-secret work!



YES, the rumors are true -- I've broken into print at last!




(It only took 20 years . . . )


Now that's not technically true. Because I worked in the magazine biz for 8 years, creating all sorts of craft flotsam-and-jetsam


and all of those things were photographed and put in magazines.


And once, in a M.E.'s Home Companion issue, they actually did a teeny tiny itty bitty interview about my materials in which they called me "Florida Copy-Maven Susan Hinckley." Which was ridiculous, but at least they used my name and it wasn't in the fine fine print on page 352.


And Quilting Arts kindly published one of my very first Small Works, from the "Dreaming the Garden" exhibit:



and there was a tiny blurb there as well, with my name
(in large print -- hooray!)


misspelled.
Oh well.


All of which brings us to today:



And today I have a FEATURE! And it is nice and LONG! And I got to write it myself! And my name is spelled correctly! And there's a full-page picture!

I hope the over-use of exclamation points has helped communicate my excitement.

And thanks to Lesley Riley, at CPS, who wrote the really great questions that shaped the interview into something



I'm truly pleased with.

And who, it should be noted, found me at Baltimore and more importantly, NOTICED.



By which I remain amazed.



It's a good Wednesday.

(anybody got a cake?)
