Somerset March 2013!

I am SO tickled by this!


this is one of those too good to be 
true moments for me.


i have ALWAYS admired the Somerset Studio magazine...
but i had read the submission guidelines...
i knew you had to submit your own
ideas, articles, pictures to be lucky enough to find
your way into one of the beauties, and that
frankly scared the you know what out of me!  


now if you have read my blog you KNOW i don't
consider myself to be a writer (or a teacher).  
and because of that i always assumed i would never
be able to get into the "Vogue of the paper world"
because what would i write about?  how many 
years would it take me not only to formulate an 
idea that was magazine worthy, but to then
turn around and write about it...  
that would take ANOTHER YEAR (at least) !!! 


so i let the dream go...  which was sad, but honestly
knowing how i labor over the words made that okay.


but then i got the stop what your doing and do a little
dance email that made my year!  hi coir, would you be 
interested in....   you can imagine the rest. 
and of course i was absolutely THRILLED TO BITS!

and what you are looking at here is the lovely proof
that it really did happen.  OH!  the joy!


could someone pinch me.  this really does seem
to good to be true.

 thank you Christen Olivarez
thank you Somerset magazine.

thank you for doing what you 
do and doing it, oh so well...

OOx,
cori

  4. I love your work and was so happy to see it in the Magazine. I also picked up some tissue boxes with owls on them that I know HAS to be your work!! I also had the same experience with Somerset mag. I was always afraid to submit any work because I do not consider myself a writer either! But I got an e-mail from them as well and the rest is history. My first publishing comes out in April. I just posted pictures on my blog too. Congrats!!!!

  5. Glad for you! It looks fantastic. I saw some owl journals yesterday at a shop not one mile from my home. So glad; especially since I scoured Targets for the Kleenex boxes to no avail! :-] Love seeing your work around.

  22. I discovered your work in 2009, and check in with your art often. It makes my heart leap. I knew the day would come when you would be a household name, but selfishly I liked you being a secret. Now I have to share you with the world...sigh... lol. You inspire us creatives with the the thought that anything is possible. Just do your thang and it will happen. Bless you and your sweet art:)

  27. This magazine is how I found you and now I am ordering some of your bedding and can't wait to get some of your new fabric line. Simply beautiful work!

  28. Hi Cori! I just discovered your fabric panels from a quilter on Craftsy! I love the 3 little garden girls, "girls in bloom" where can I find them?? I saw your etsy shop, but it appears this is not fabric, is that correct? I did find "the sweet life' panel on an online shop referred by Blend Fabrics... Your work is so wonderfully whimsical, so happy to have stumbled upon you! :)
