I've written a book!
A whole book, with 35 fun felt projects designed and stitched and written by me! (Eek!)
It's called Super Cute Felting
, and it'll be published this autumn (8th September 2011) by the lovely people at Cico Books. This is the draft version of the cover:
I've been working on it since the end of last year - regular readers may remember a few secret things popping up on the blog in recent months! It's been pretty hectic juggling book stuff with all my other crafty business stuff,and I've had a few slightly panicky "omigod! what if no-one likes it!" moments, but it's been lots of fun too.
I will of course be blogging about this again over the next few months as the autumn draws nearer... I can't wait! :)
