Humpty Gets Some Press

December 3, 2009

I'm excited to show you the latest issue of Australian Homespun Magazine where there is a very nice article about me and my work as well as the pattern for my Humpty Dumpty doll.

I get many, many emails requesting this doll in particular so I am very pleased that my pattern is now published.  Hooray for Australians and their dedication to handcraft!

The first Humpty I made was for the show I had at the Wellesley public library three years ago. I set him up on a little makeshift wall I made from stacked bricks at the entrance to the children's room.  I sold him very quickly and then moved on to an intense three years of making birds so it was very nice when Homespun contacted me and wanted to publish the Humpty pattern.

I had a lot of fun making two Humptys for them, both of which will be for sale in a few months in my shop.  In the meantime, check out this issue of the magazine.

    Hi, I spied your name on the front cover of the mag and brought a copy yesterday. I look forward to making one after the Christmas madness is over.

    Have you been able to publish your pattern for the Humpty Dumpty pattern yet? My brother is still in ICU due to a horrific auto accident on Easter. Wanted to make him this doll as they’ve “put him back together again” Thanks — Lana
