Thank you so much for all the comments on my Marshmallow bag! I'm glad it made you smile! Today, I have something else to share. I found out last night when Pip posted this video, that the new issue of Frankie Magazine is out! I was all snuggled and bundled nicely in bed, just about to go to sleep. But when I saw the video, I let out a little scream. Yes, sometime around 11.40pm I screamed and probably woke my housemate up a little. But that's how excited I was! You see, I've been dying to share the good news with all of you but decided to keep it a little secret first until the issue was out. But yes, you might have already guessed it, I am the featured artist of this issue! When I was first asked by founder and creative director Lara, I almost fell off my chair. I wanted so much to share the awesome news with all you lovely readers, but I decided I had to wait, as with all magazine features.
Anyway, to cut the long story short, I had to see it to believe it. So I took a nice walk this morning and went to Magnation just so I can check out my little artist feature spread in the flesh. I went alone and almost had a heart attack right there and then. I left the store feeling a little lost and ended up walking aimlessly around the city, taking some photos while still trying to let everything sink in. I think I'm still in shock to be honest. Haha. I mean I've been buying Frankie since I was a teen! I always thought, and still think it is the craftiest and prettiest magazine around, given it's nana crafty nature and yummy recipes. So yes, this feature is indeed making me all dizzy and giggly, just like a kid in a huge ice cream store.
I'll post pictures of the feature and artwork soon! Thank you so so much Lara and Frankie!
PS: The giveaway winners are Emm, Sarah by Sunshine, and Christine! Thanks everyone for participating! I am indeed making a macaroon! More on my macaroon sewing adventures soon! Ah, so much to show all of you. But I'm really busy. Last two days before my end of semester assessment/review! I'm still cutting up fabrics as I speak!
See you and have a nice night!
Congratulations! I can't buy Frankie here so I look forward to your post! :)

Ooh, I bought a Frankie subscription a month or two ago. I wonder if it will start this edition? I am sending it to an ex-pat friend (in the US) every two months with a care package. Congratulations on your feature! I think it is well-deserved.
ReplyDelete(I think my magazine subscriptions are plotting to help me pass my exam. My most recent issue of Russh never arrived, even though it came out a few weeks ago, and my latest issue of Real Living is also running late.)
