Ta Da! My book (embroidery for little miss crafty) is finally coming out!!! Yeah! I'm super exited!It's a book for those who haven't embroidered before or crafty moms with young daughters. There are 12 fun projects, all the basic info and a bunch of cute patterns! The projects are easy and fun and I know that 'cause I made up and executed all of them for this book:)
I've got a few copies... and I'll give one away (A GIVEAWAY!) to one of my lovely readers:) Just leave me a comment and I will randomly pick one on Tuesday morning.

How exciting for you! Congratulations! I can't wait to get the book, it looks great. :D
Thats adorable! Congrats!
Hooray! Congratulations!
what a fun book!
first of all, congrats.
secondly, i don't embroider, so a book about learning how would be a good thing, but thirdly and most importantly, your art is quite a source of inspiration for me, so i'd love to be able to peruse it. (so basically, if i don't win, i'm buying it anyway but hey! cool!)
Oh, how fun! I already embroider but I LOVE your style. This is a craft book I need to own! Congrats!
what a coincidence! i am a crafty mom with two young daughters, one of which is just learning the basics of embroidery! i think this book would really inspire her and encourage her to keep it up! i would love to embroider some of your designs, as well! congratulations on the new book!
That is just amazing! Well done!
Looks like such a gorgeous book... i've always wanted to learn how to embroider properly! i think your book would help!!!
woot! It looks fab-u-lous. A can embroider a little bit, but I'd like this regardless.
