Published in Stuffed Magazine!

I have been keeping this under wraps since Feb! For the most part because I was afraid I would tell everyone then it would turn out it was all a misunderstanding and Stuffed Magazine was publishing me by mistake. So on July 1st I felt like I was going to throw up, then the magazine came in the mail and I am really in it!!

So after months of not telling anyone, now I am totally telling everyone!


Another cool thing is that my sock creature idol, John Murphy, is the featured artist for this issue. John is very humble so I won't say he inspired me, but he helped me develop a passion for this great hobby! Thanks John.
Be sure to checkout his WEBSITE to get info on his latest book and see more of his creatures.

Yipee!! If you pick up an issue, my guy "Plank" is on page 133! Sorry for all the exclamation points!

This is the issue, click HERE to see more of this super cute magazine.
And of course you can see more of my sock creatures HERE.

Pink and Green Treasury Thursday

I missed Treasury Tuesday, so I am making it up with Pink and Green Thursday!
This is dedicated to my friend Elle, who is moving away in just a couple of weeks. Here Pink and Green Thursday last week was all about pink and green fruit and veggies. It looked so cute, I decided to steal her idea and make that my Treasury theme on Etsy.

She also showed me the cutest blog that has a Pink and Green Thursday, every Thursday! It is called Pink Preppy Lilly Lover.

This week's Treasury:
