A little sew hip

You know how sometimes you can feel a little shy about something and also really excited about it? There’s a little article about my creative space in the March issue of Sew Hip, which is a new-ish UK sewing magazine. Yay! It’s pretty cute, and fun to see how someone else arranges all the little bits and pieces of my home which make it dear to me. What really makes this really cool is that all the photos were taken by my good friend Lisa, and we got to do this as a project together, and now we can have a cup of coffee and look at our magazine and be pleased with ourselves.

The pattern for my honeycomb smocking tutorial is also included in the issue, and is the reason for all of this. (Thanks Manda!) There’s a lot of other cute in the magazine—an embroidery pattern from Hillary, an interview with Liesl, an interesting article on old-school woodblock printing, and Betz White fuzzy goodness. If you’re in the UK, you can pick one up, but it’s not to be found here in the US. Maybe one day it will make it to Borders?

OK, this is one of the most exciting things ever! I’m looking at it thinking, "I know her! I hang out at that wonderful house, surrounded by all those wonderful things!" And the feeling the magazine spread gives is a very accurate representation of what it’s like to be there, surrounded by *you* and yours. Sigh.

(Great photography, Lisa!)
