do you have any pictures of the actual process?

Good job! Now remove those side growths on the root stock and you'll get even better and faster growth on your graft because the plant's stored energy won't be going to making new leaves on the root stock. The green stem itself has chlorophyll to produce energy for the graft - once it leafs out you really don't want the rootstock itself to be producing branches and flowers as they may out compete the graft and smother it in short order.

Also, if you only just uncovered it for the photo - make sure you leave it bagged or domed for a while until the graft is really strong and leafed. Suddenly removing any protection it had can kill your tender graft so it'll need to be eased off slowly to harden it off over time, once it's growing well. I lost a few of my grafts from removing the covering too quickly even though they looked great and were starting to show growth like this so be careful.
