Custom orders welcome

I wanted to share with everyone this cute pair of sock monkeys that a customer ordered for NICU (Neonatal) Nurse who cares for sick and premature/preemie babies.
So this is what I have come up with. She is dressed in her banana print scrubs with a skirt.
The baby has a little bit of hair and a sweet little bow on her head.
Let me know what you think.

A celebrity just bought from me

The coolest thing happen to me today. I just had a customer buy from me and she is a celebrity, How cool is that!
I am so excited. She is sending one to Carol Duvall They are close friends. I am sure people that work with clay have bought many of their books.

I did a little interview with her and I asked her how she found me.

I was a regular on Carol's show for 9 seasons. If you go to HGTV.com and type in my name Becky Meverden, you can see the segments I was in. She is a dear friend of mine and we are still stay in touch.

I'm not sure how I found you. I think someone mentioned you on their blog. I'm quite the blog addict including my own: http://meverden.blogspot.com/

I love your unique style. The sock monkeys are just darling!

I am sending this to Carol because she collects sock monkeys and I just couldn't resist yours.

There you have it. Now do you see why I am so excited.
