Just to record the moment, they will occasionally photograph worn out shoes and swollen, blistered feet. It tells a story, ya know?
Poetry in a Kodak Easyshare moment.... (see? I even put in a link... I must be a blogger).
Then there's the photo of the bag that tells a lot about the difference in the climate between Melbourne and Sydney. (Yes, the Beach Bag can hold an overcoat, and can be carried around on a hot humid day in another city... a hilly city... in heels).
So anyway.... that's 40-something blog-talk for saying that I had a Day Of Very Important Meetings all over Sydney early this year. Contracts are now signed by all parties, so I guess the worst-kept-secret in blogland is no longer a secret.
Congratulations - how exciting!
ReplyDeleteYay! The secret is out!
ReplyDeleteThe worst kept secret in blogland can now be officially the most exciting best ever news in blogland!
ReplyDeleteI'll be lining up for a first edition signed copy.
That is SOOOO exciting Nikki. Congratulations. Definately worth some creased linen, blistered feet and overstuffed bag! I'm very much looking forward to having a Nicole Mallalieu sewing book on my shelf.

ReplyDeleteI too know about the always thing of what can be blogged. I find a lot of my photos are no longer point and shoot straight on. Like the balloons floating up to the sky at a festival or the busy hands of European ladies rolling dough.
Woohoo, the secret is now completely out! More pattern testing, yippee!
ReplyDeleteEeek! How exciting!!!
