Out on April 1st!!!



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.

  22. 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!)
