home, paper, scissors

So here it is! I'm so excited that I can now at least show you the cover. I found out a couple of days ago that my book is now in pre-order status. For more info and ordering details click here.


Even though the official publishing date isn't until August it's fun to finally start unveiling the work that consumed me last year. The Nesting Bowls project that you see is one of my favorites. I'm particularly proud about the designer picking this shot for the cover because I took it. I worked with a professional photographer for all my beauty shots (I took all the how-to photos) so I didn't expect this one ending up on the front. I really like it.

Now all I have to do is wait to get a printed and bound copy in my hands. Then it will really hit me.

    Those colors are going to really pop off the shelf next to the soft color/white schemes of most craft & project books. Good thinking!

    Congratulations, can't wait.
