So much newsy news to share with you all - but I'm starting with the biggest news of all. I'm writing a book! (insert flailing Muppet arms here) Actually - I've been writing a book all summer, but I just signed the contract a few weeks ago. :-)
I can't share many details yet, but I can tell you it's about sewing softies, will come out next fall, and Jo (age 10 now!) has successfully made every project in the book. So - more details to come as soon as I can share them! In the meantime, blogging and new patterns will continue to be a little more sporadic than usual while I wrap up the first draft this month.
Gah! It's so hard not to share more! I'm super excited about this project! And all the finished projects are sitting in a big colorful pile right behind me, just waiting for you all to peek at them. But I can't! (insert Peanuts-style howl of anguish here)
I promise not to irritate you with lots of posts about "all the great things happening behind the scenes that I can't share yet" but this was so huge I couldn't hold it in any longer. :-)
Happy Wednesday!
Best,
Wendi
wow! congratulations! look forward to see the fruits of your labor.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Sadly, it's going to be a bit of a wait. :-)
DeleteGood for you!!! And congrats on all the Dragon Con awards. I live in Atlanta and was there and I half way expected I'd see your GIANT and AWESOME costume. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The giant Totoro was pretty unwieldy so we only showed him in the Masquerade and then for a brief time at the Marriott afterward.
DeleteCongrats!! It couldn't happen to a more deserving person! You are so talented - and your designs are so cute! I can't wait to see the book. Enjoy every moment....peace.
ReplyDeleteCongrats good job!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteCongratulations!! I think I remember you saying you submitted a book proposal a while ago...so glad it's gotten to this stage for you!
ReplyDeletePeople like you are one of the reasons I went ahead and made the announcement - even though there was so little I could share. I was starting to get some emails asking whatever happened to the proposals and I wanted to give a quick (though brief) update. :-)
DeleteHooray!!! can't wait until you can tell more! Go Wendi Go!!!! [insert Kermit cheering here]
ReplyDeleteThanks. :-)
DeleteAwesome! I'm looking forward to checking out your book! Thanks for sharing the good news.
