Its been a long time since I posted as I've been super busy working on my book but I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and give you all a little update. I should have more time in the new year to post regularly with whats on my workdesk!
So the book is pretty much done and edited there are just a few gaps which need filling, its hard to tell till its all been layout by the typesetter. As you can see there were quite a few, mainly small spelling/Grammar edits, and a few additions! I believe they appreciated my OCD colour tags to show which pages had corrections/additions 😂 At the moment the estimated month of publication is April; we timed our cruise holiday well so I'm likely to be away and without internet when its published 🙈
So this week on my desk is the beginnings of a new box as one of the gaps is on the page about fabric placement so I thought I would make a Stripy box with the lines all matching from the lid down to the base, there will be a west highland terrier appliqued with the tartan on the lid. This will also be a limited kit for sale in the new year as only one or two photos of it will be in the book and then it has more than one use rather than making a whole box for one or two photos, and for fun too! No price worked out yet but if anyone is interested (the tartan/plain red interior fabric wont be the same as that is all I have; I'll find something as close as possible tho) then leave a comment and I will let you know when its on the website which wont be launched till the new year.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

ReplyDeleteNow that the work is done and the publishing date is set, you can relax. I think it's a great idea to go on a cruise in April ;) I stop by for the last time this year to say hello and wish you happy holidays, see you in 2019. Love from Holland, Marit #22

Well done, getting a book published. Your current project looks very intriguing! I used to make fabric/embroidered boxes and have always loved them. A couple of years ago my hubby bought me this one from an art exhibition after I fell in love with it - it was a portrait of the artist's two favourite cats! http://shoshiplatypus.blogspot.com/2015/09/a-beautiful-gift.html
