LOOPI IS GOING TO BE PUBLISHED!!!!

[diamond]

OMG...OMG...OMG....check out this email I just opened! Was just sitting there pretty as you please in my mailbox!!! I don't even know how to respond to it, yet, as I think I'm in shock! I've never submitted anything to be published before and have never had anyone want to publish anything of mine before!! I'm in total shock I think!

 

Cheryl:

Jean Leinhauser and I love your sheep tape measure. We are now working on a book to be published at the end of 2005 or the start of 2006 called 100 Projects to Make with Your Crochet Hook, to be published by Sterling Publishing in New York.

We’d love to include your sheep tape measure as one of the projects. Would you consider selling us the rights to the project along with the instructions and the model? We would offer you $100, and you would, of course, be listed as the designer. You could not continue to offer it on your web site, but we’d be happy to list your web site in our book.

I look forward to hearing from you.

---Rita Weiss

Thank you both! I am just so shocked & excited. I feel like I'm about to jump out of my skin. I haven't responded to the email yet as I'm still letting it sink it. I don't even care about the money....just the idea that Jean Leinhauser & Rita Weiss wants my design for their book! Jean Leinhauser is an icon in the crochet world. I am so thrilled & honored! I never expected anything like this! This day couldn't get any better! Patti's home and now this! What a way to end a day!
