The Book I'm In

The Little One-Yard Wonders Book was officially released on June 3 and my copy arrived two days ago.

Here it is, packed with possibilities for all kinds of fun making.

See?

Almost 60 seamstresses contributed to this book. I don't know how many projects there are (yet) because, believe it or not, I haven't even flipped through it. The other family members in our house have, though. Wretchedly, I've been so busy this past week that I haven't even had the time to look at it, apart from the few seconds after it was brought in from the mailbox and everyone wanted to see which projects were mine. So I looked in the contents, found the necessary pages, and showed them.

I haven't touched it since :(

And then I resumed supper, chores, and all the other things that were standing impatiently in my to-do list: 

Things like this:

and this (it's cardboard! Eee!):

and this:

Tomorrow is the book launch at the Crafty Planet in Minneapolis. If you're in town, stop by and we can say hello  (I promise to leave my mania at home and put on my I Am All Together face)! In honor of the launch, I put aside my silly to-do list this morning and took a few book shots to tell you about it. When this week is over, I'm planning to put my feet up and slowly, methodically and deliciously savor each page of that lovely book. That I'm in. That I'm actually excited and ecstatic about (but doing an abysmal job getting you to believe)! 

I'll write a book review for you, to redeem myself in the coming weeks!

And now, back to my to-do list. This afternoon's Fun-tivity is feeding fish at the park with Katydid, followed by ice cream. Over and out!
