I thought I would share this with y'all, now that it's actually going to come to air....

I got an order from a woman at the end of October for 2 baby sweater/hat/booties sets...which was great...but she wanted both sets in her hands, in California, 2 days later....are you kidding?
So, I was thinking just that, this woman is crazy. There's no way I can get 2 sets done and to her in 2 days, seeing how one of those days would be a shipping day. Then, I get an email.....

My daughter was at my computer and I asked her to check my emails. All of a sudden she starts yelling "OMG. OMG. She's from Grey's Anatomy. Mom! OMG!". She was not making any sense to me so I got up and read it and then I started going...OMG!! So, what's a person to do?? I called her.

It seems this one set in particular will be what they call a 'hero prop'....meaning someone will hold it up and say 'Look what I made for you'. How awesome is that????

She said she printed off a picture of it off of my Etsy site and showed it to Chandra Wilson, the big shot at Grey's. Chandra said 'that's perfect!'

So, I started at 5pm and stayed up until 3am making these sets. My fingers were sore for the whole next day! I got 2 hours of sleep but it was worth it.

The show was originally supposed to air Dec 20 but then the writers strike happened and it was put on hold. I just saw yesterday that the show which is called 'Lay Your Hands on Me' will now air January 10th. Now, I have no idea who has 'made' this outfit or who it's for but it's too cool.

I keep wondering if McDreamy will touch it......ahhhhhhhhhh to dream.

Oh, I have to make a special acknowledgement to my dear dear husband, without whom this would never have happened. He had to go to WalMart on his break at work (he was working a double shift) and buy 2 skeins of Caron Simply Soft yellow yarn. Wouldn't you know it, I was out. So without his kindness I would never have been able to do this. Mind you, I'll be hearing about it for the next year now....lol.
I can't wait!! You can believe I'll have the DVR on for sure!!!
