I would like to be one of those folks who casually mentions the release of my book as if it were a nice little bit of information and smile sweetly as if it were no big thing. The truth is it's all a bit surreal and really overwhelming to see one's work all laid out in glorious color. It is a gorgeous hardback book with those thick quality matte pages that draw you in, beautifully designed by Anita Mangan, and all around more than I could hope for!
I will tell you that I am proud of my work and I put my heart and soul into this book. It was a long and crazy journey that has taught me so much. It would not have been possible with out you my wonderful friends and readers, so thank you so very much.
Or you can order it online at:
Amazon UK
The Book Depository
The US release is in Spring 2013 and will be available in US bookstores then. You can also pre-order from Amazon.com
And just as soon as I receive them, I will have signed copies available through my Etsy shop, I will keep you posted!
Oh, and if you didn't know, my book is part of the Creative Makers series. Also being released today is Simple Crochet by Sara Sinaguglia, I can't wait to have a look at that too!
Again thank you my friends for being part of my big day!
Have a wonderful week!
