January 15, 2009

Oh my gosh. I can’t quite believe it! The book is nearly here! In fact it’s due in store around the 25th March. This is a peek at the cover. It has lots of cute things on it doesn’t it?! Those cute things are owned by the 26 crafty people who contributed to it!

I know you are going to L.O.V.E. the ace projects designed by the creme de la creme of the Australian Contemporary Craft Scene! 26 local crafters have made 26 wonderful things and you can make them too! There are easy to follow instructions, full size patterns and templates and lovely photos to make you smile.

It is such a pretty book and was so much fun to put together and I can’t wait to share it with you!

You can pre-order it from Readings for late March delivery. So why don’t you do that?! That would be just great. They will be shipping internationally too.
