Model Stitching Excitement

I was so excited Sunday night, I could have peed my pants. Okay, that’s an exaggeration, but you know what I mean.

Sandie Vanosdall of The Sweetheart Tree called me! Me, little old me. Isn’t that crazy? I really enjoyed talking to her; she’s really a lovely person, very nice and easy to converse with. I am going to send her some samples of my work and then, hopefully, I will officially become one of her model stitchers. 😀 I can’t get over it, I am just SO excited. Her designs are the perfect size for me and it would be such a treat to work for one of my all time favorite designers ever. We were discussing payment and other specifics about model stitching for her and I asked if I could just be paid in stash, since any money she paid me would likely just be turned around and spent on her designs. 😆

I don’t want to get my hopes up too high until she sees my work and approves it, but since I’m not exactly new to model stitching or anything, I’m hoping that there won’t be any issues. She was happy to hear that I do hardanger work, so I guess that will help me get my foot in the door, as well. I can’t wait until Christmas is over and the postal system has cleared out a bit so that I can send my samples and see what she thinks!

    WOOT! You get to stitch fantastic designs and you get more for doing so? I believe that is what is called a “win-win senario”. Yay, Jenna!

    Even better, the idea of getting paid in stash – because it is so true. I’m a tad jealous too – but so excited for you. 🙂
