It's finally here! My Softies book has just been released and is available on Amazon (and Amazone UK & Canada too) right now! Writing a book is a real exercise in deferred gratification. I first thought about the idea for the book 2 1/2 years ago and I turned in the manuscript last July! But I'm so excited about how beautifully the book turned out, it's been worth the wait. All thanks to the talented people at Chronicle Books who designed the book and of course, to the very talented softie designers who contributed projects. And also big thanks to Leah Kramer of Craftster.org who wrote the sweetest Forward in the book.
