Birthdays, Beaches and a Book!

The past couple months have been a whirlwind! I have been busy with lots of awesome projects, which of course, I cannot share just yet. I took a week off "work" crochet to prepare for my daughter's 3rd birthday. Although I expect I will eventually sell the pattern I developed for crocheted party favors for all the kids to take home. But have not decided where, so sorry no details yet.

Then I had less than a week to prepare for my first trade show, TNNA (The National Needlearts Association), in Long Beach, CA (my old stomping ground). Wow, what an experience! I am still recovering and following up on all the marvelous contacts I made. Not the least of which was getting to meet and hang out with lots of incredible designers I only knew online before now.

My main goal for the weekend was to meet yarn companies and identify possible yarns for my next book! Did I mention that I am writing another book?! This will be my first book with a big publisher, so it is very exciting. I am still figuring out how much I am allowed to share about the project, and am trying to limit my online time while I focus on the book. So I apologize if it is quiet around here for the next few months. You can expect more details soon... but here's just a tiny hint...
