Books! With me in them! Eeeeee!
I went to Barnes and Noble on Saturday to get a baby shower present and these two covers just accosted me from a little stand in the craft section. (Oh, you know the craft section is on the way to the baby section!) I didn’t think the books were out yet because I don’t have my copies yet, but OMG, there they were. It made me eep!
I have a project in Pretty Little Patchwork and a project in Pretty Little Potholders, both published by Lark. The books are really cute, and there are some other nice people you might know in them. When I get my own copy, I am going to be sewing some projects. (They will be pretty little projects, of course.) My patchwork project is a star pincushion like these ones, and my potholder has yo-yos. You know I love a yo-yo.
I’ve been excited about this for a really long time, but I wasn’t sure when to bring it up. I mean, what’s the protocol on that? At first I didn’t want to blog anything because what if I somehow didn’t make it in at the end? Then once everything was finalized, it seemed randomly in the middle nothing in particular. So here I am, seeing books in the store and sharing right now. E!

Congrats Dorie! I’m eeeee’ing for you, can you hear me
I just ordered a copy of each, can’t wait to see your fabulous designs. I think it will be cool for our kids to have copies of this sort of stuff in the future. Personally, I live by the don’t jinx myself rulebook and just wait till it’s published. It’s also nice to announce after it’s available so people interested in your work have the opportunity to purchase while it’s fresh in their minds. Enjoy!
So I ‘ve been looking forward to a new post and YIKES this was worth the wait! Congratulations!
