Holiday Issue-Vogue Knitting

Friday, October 12th, 2007

I had to get my hands on a copy of the new Vogue Knitting. Barnes&Noble came through for me. I was told the layout was going to be an article on beautiful buttons. Instead it is listed on the “Very New Very Vogue” spread. Not what I expected but I can’t complain I have 2 buttons in this months Issue of Vogue Knitting!

The blurb says:

“We’ve Got the Buttons
The Ancient Greeks used them as early as 2000BC. Eighteenth-century dandies used them to embellish their extravagant clothing.
Byt the 20th century they were considered strictly utilitarian. But knitters know that choosing the right buttons for an FO is as essential as choosing the right yarn.”

I’m in good company with other Art Button artists on this page: Moving Mud, Marlas Mud, Gail Hughes Art Buttons and Glass2Art.
The in person magazine is much better than my photography!

Express

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

I Express Mailed my choices for Vogue Knitting. It seemed to be a mail day today. Another package went Priority Mail and all had to be done by 5:30pm to make sure the package to Soho Pub got to NYC by Noon. This of course was mixed with sitting at the dentists office while my daughter was getting filling put in. I was making charms for stitch markers in the waiting room, all the while people look at you like you’re from another planet because you’re not being normal reading a magazine. My kids are getting used to it. I take my container with me for all of the down time while you’re waiting endlessly.

Sigh, the life of being an oddity in a conservative city.

Anastasia is one!

My granddaughter turned one at the end of June and I neglected to post her birthday picture. She had a great time eating cake and playing with all the birthday presents.

Birthday Bank

Grandma’s present had to come home for a repair. I need to touch up a couple places on her butterfly bank and refire. It turned out great. Nothing like being last minute and staying up till 2 am the night before to finish her gift!

Exciting!!

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

I received an email yesterday asking if I would like to contribute 5 buttons for an article on Beautiful Buttons for VOGUE KNITTING! Vogue Knitting is one of THE knitting magazines. Don’t believe I need to think twice on that offer!!

So far these are the 3 I have chosen. I’m thinking about a least one of the freeform Picasso-esque buttons. Not sure about the fifth button yet.

Which ones do you think I should send? I’m so excited!
