I made six mugs for the craft sales and sold them all! I only managed to take a picture of the last two though. I was pleased to have sold them as they seemd a bit shakey- it's hard to draw on a curve. They are done with the magical porcelaine pen.
Here are some sketches of the possibilities. The city of craft was awesome and a big thanks to Jen and Becky for wrangling it into shape!
Sunday was also a fun little neighborhood sale in my knitting neighbors home. Tres bien!
And now all that is done I am starting work on a new picture book!! Yes, that is my special happy news- I got picked to do another one and I am so thrilled. That might be all you will hear about it for a while as the publictation date is not until far far off into the future. Lots of deadlines in between though, with thumbnails, then roughs, then revisions, then a mock cover and one final page and then finals, more revisions and all of it due in June.
I will be a busy duck, starting now. Yay!
Yay! such happy news - selling all of your cute mugs AND a new picture book. congrats!

Your mugs are adorable - wobbliness just adds to the charm!
Loved chatting with you and thanks for the wee swap, I love my pincushion!
Congratulations on the new book, it's well deserved.

Hey Tania
My cousin told me she met you. I don't think you had met before probably just heard about her. What a coincidence eh? By the way I love your waving little guy.
Miss you
