My Mum's Going to Have to Get a Bigger Coffee Table

I set myself a goal to get published this year and I'm at it again.

This time Water Lily is featured in Art Doll Quarterly.  Oooh, shiny paper.  It even smells good.

I've tried to think of a clever segue to tell you about what I found in my loaf tin in the pots and pans cupboard in my kitchen but my brain hurts too much to be clever right now, so I'll just hit you with it.  I saw a recipe for a yummy looking marmalade and Muscovado sugar cake and fished out my loaf tin to see if it was the right size.  Inside I found a single stray sock of my husband's.  What was a stray sock doing in the loaf tin?  I strongly suspect that a pixie spirited away that sock and has been using it as a duvet while sleeping in the loaf tin.  Definitely pixie mischief!

Congrats!! Your doll is lovely. I see your mom is proud!! that is so sweet (yes I read other peoples comments :o)

That is way to funny about the sock. I think too is must be a fairy or sprite - We have one of those in our house too. It always puts my scissors and other items in my daughters room LOL

WOOOOHOOOO! Well-deserved, you sweety! And I'm getting my copy of ADQ tomorrow! The sock-in-a-pan was hysterical! Made me laugh first thing this morning!

So that's where all the odd socks go!
I was so surprised to open my copy and come across Water Lily! Great article, you deserved a double page spread!

What a very happy dilemma to have. I so will be looking for more flat surfaces to display my talented daughter's publications. I am bursting with pride that others are seeing the tremendous talent and ability you possess in abundance. Wow!! Aren't I lucky to be related to YOU!! Much love always, Mum

I just got this issue in the mail yesterday and smiled when I saw your double page spread. Congrats! :-)
