as promised yesterday, i've got some exciting news to announce. a monkey & squirrel hook has made it into the may issue of Southern Living magazine! i've known for a little over a month now that they were going to be using one of my horse hooks in a story, but i wouldn't let myself get too excited. things like this can fall through at any time and i didn't want to set myself up for sadness. low and behold, the other day a magazine size white envelope appeared on my doorstep, and lookie what was inside...

eeeeeep... so very stoked about this! i've never had anything is such a large print publication before, and i could't be happier about it! huge thanks to Southern Living! i loved your magazine before, and i love it even more now :)
