So...guess what went to press a little over a week ago? Yep, my book! You're looking at the cover right now. The word "HOORAY!" is just not enough. A hearty "PHEW!" is definitely in order, though! I've been spending the days since it was sent to the printer catching up on everything else that went by the wayside while I was working. It's a long, long list, topped with things like Spring Cleaning (um, it's July) and purging my craft room (a de-stashing sale on Etsy may be in order, stay tuned). The wheels are in motion for the next Felt Club event as well, which you'll be hearing more about later this month. I did manage to fit in a weekend trip up to San Francisco with my pals Cathy and Tootie, which I'll share details about over the next few days.
I want to thank every one of you for all the comments and e-mails asking about the book and sharing your excitement. It's been the fuel that kept me going through the entire process. I really hope you'll end up enjoying the book as much as I do! It will be out in January 2009, though I'll get advance copies in October. Once I get the go-ahead to share more projects from inside, you'll be the first to know! For now, here's a look at the back cover, featuring quotes from two of my favorite ladies ever, Kathy Cano-Murillo (aka the Crafty Chica) and Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching. Yeah, I pretty much couldn't be more thrilled!
