Sometimes when it rains it pours.

And, sometimes it's just a delightful sprinkle.

Well, the month of September has been a delightful sprinkle for Linda Walsh Originals.Not only were our Victorian "Ladies" written about by Elizabeth deAlmedia who is the N.Y. Doll Collecting freelance writer for theExaminer.com, here and here, but one of our patterns was published on the Favecrafts.com website and blogged about in the Favecrafts blog.

To give you a little history behind our pattern being published last May Christine Doheny, who is the editor of Favecrafts.com(which is published by Prime Publishing LLC) emailed me and said shehad run across one of my Uncle Sam dolls that had made her smile. Sheasked if I would be interested in contributing a craft project,tutorial, or tip to Favecrafts.com or contributing something as a guestblog on the Favecrafts blog.

When I had a chance to respond Isent her back an email thanking her and asking her which Uncle Sam dollshe was referring to as I have a LOT of websites and blogs! LOL LOL Yathink! LOL LOL But, I might be interested and asked her for moreinformation on what was involved and how much time it would take. Asalways - I had a lot on my plate! LOL LOL

In any event wecorresponded back and forth a few times and I finally decided since itwas my favorite time of the year - Fall - that I would send her my"Punkin Ornaments Are We! A Trio of Ornaments" pattern and did so lastweek.

Well, I'm excited to tell you that it was published on Favecrafts.com at the beginning of this week. If you'd like to see it please CLICK HERE.
