feeling slightly famous…

I’m feeling slightly famous by living vicariously through others, thanks to Nikki.  Guess what I’ve got – it’s my own personally-signed-by-the-author copy of a brand-new sewing book!

And guess who is modelling in it….

Hey lookee, I made that!

And even if no-one else can tell, it’s my big girl wearing this lovely kid-sized wrap/panel skirt.

There are MANY things that I test-sewed for Nikki last year that I can now finally show you. The gorgeous twirly skirts are among them – I made lots and they are now a staple clothing item for my two.

But it’s not just Clare who is in the spotlight – I opened my copy of Inside Crochet yesterday and found this! Check out the lower left corner.

So both girls had massive grins on their faces seeing photos of themselves in print.  Excitement all around!

And finally, lifted straight from Nikki’s blog:

You might be able to win yourself a copy of the book if you pop over to visit Cam. Otherwise, get yourself to the AQC next week, to get one from the author herself. If you’re overses or interstate, the ABC Shop has really great postage rates….
