I was thrilled when Kathreen Ricketson invited me to me part of the 2012 WhipUp.net annual calendar. I remember, last year at this time, pouring over the 2011 calendar and being so amazed by the talent. It is very humbling to be part of this. I tend not to think of myself as a crafter or an artist or anything but… “hey, I like doing this and I’m going to document it a bit”. I did a small interview there and have been featured alongside June calendar girl, Katie of Duo Fiberworks. (There are links to all the contributors HERE.)
The calendar is available for purchase in two formats, a downloadable PDF file (in three calendar designs) or a print-on-demand version from RedBubble, which is quite oversized and glorious.
In other news, I recently purchased the most beautiful pair of earrings from Julie Smith’s Etsy shop, Under the Tulip Tree. She has a blog with the same name and an aesthetic for making simply lovely things that are not too busy. I routinely don a pair of diamond studs that belonged to my grandmother-in-law, and I feel honored to have those, but I’ve been wanting some variety in my decoration. First, it was over-sized rings and now I’m onto earrings.
Next, I might go wild and shop for a bracelet.
That is thrilling! I would be honored to be a part of that calendar too. And Julie makes lots of lovely things. Very clever gal!
Congrats! It looks lovely!
Congratulations! It is quite an honor but I have no doubt you deserve it.
Pretty earrings, too.
What a great honor to be chosen for a month on Whip Up’s calendar. I’m excited for you. Good going!

How awesome, Jodi! You are so amazingly talented! And, thank you for the kind words about my shop. Very sweet of you indeed. :)
I love it! I keep wanting to do a calendar – each year I have these great goals and they never materialize. Probably going into it with a partner or group is a good accountability measure. Hope you are doing well. I feel like I finally have time to read blogs again. My new job is killer, but not having school work at night is glorious.
Congrats on the calendar!
PS – I’m a bracelet girl first and foremost. I think I’d notice if I didn’t have one on quicker than if I forgot to put my wedding ring on before leaving the house. ;)
I’m sorry that I didn’t individually reply to everyone, but a collective ‘thank you’ to you all, for your support and for your friendship.
