Hello

Book Launch Photos!

March 30, 2009



Wow! What a fun night we had last night – and tucked up in bed by 10pm too!

Some thank yous:

Thanks so much to Hardie Grant and Metropolis for doing a kind of launchy dance which resulted in books and cake and cups of tea for all!

Thanks so much to Jo Walker from Frankie and Dancing About Architecture’s Clem Bastow for the crafty chat and general fun times!

Thanks to the crafty contributors who came and signed books and smiled and were absolutely the stars of the show!

Thanks to all the lovely people who came and listened to us rabbit on and bought books and let me write indecipherable things in them (especially YOU Anna – what DID i write?!)

Thanks to my friends and my family a big huge lot. You are ace. Sigh.

xx Pip

Hurrah!

    so glad it was a success! Readings in Hawthorn has the most lovely front window featuring the book, some lovely craftings and vintage craft books. I was itching to enter in but had a pile of colleagues with me!

    I got my copy yesterday, and oh my goodness. What can I say?!?!? I’m so thrilled for you! Congratulations! Whoo hoo!

    Like Krafty Kuka, I’m going to make every single project. Love ’em.

    Pip, I bought the book today. A present just for me. I deserve it!

    Plus I just gave the cuppa tea vibe to my husband, so I can curl up on the couch with that cuppa, a piece of dark chocolate and your lovely crafty book. Do I really have to go to work tomorrow???

    lovely evening – lots of talk, famous people singing things, new words being created – it’s all good. And that dress is so pipalicious!!

    Just got your book in the mail yesterday, I ordered it a month ago. It’s very good, fun and inspiring. I’m keen to give everything a go…..lets see how I go. Good luck with book sales and good on you for following your heart.

    Congratulations Pip!! What a wonderful book launch, perfect for such a wonderful book! Sorry I had to scoot off soon after the talk ended and didnt get to say hi, there were a few lovely peeps waiting in line for your autograph. LOVED your dress too by the way. Evie x

    Congratulations to you and all the crafty contributors – sounds like it was a great launch.

  • Anna (one of them, anyway!) March 31, 2009 at 2:10 AM

    Haha! You wrote something perfectly lovely, of course, in keeping with my favourite question of the night: Why are you so awesome?! What a fun evening, and I am hoping that the book does super well.
    PS Hello other Annas!

  • Emjie March 31, 2009 at 2:07 AM

    Wow! Looks like you guys had a ball. Here’s wishing I could have been there. Your book is on my wish list.

  • Fibo March 31, 2009 at 12:24 AM

    How exciting for you, everything really is happening isn’t it? I saw your book in Readings last week and I was so stoked, it looks fantastic! Maybe it’s about time I actually learnt how to do all this crafty stuff?

  • fliss March 30, 2009 at 11:41 PM
