Show this Weekend

I have so many excuses for not posting recently but really...there's no excuse. I'll do better. For all of you I have yet to email about the classes, stay tuned. I'll be posting more information about that mid December. For now, if you have a book style you really want to learn, please leave a comment and I'll take that into consideration as I'm setting up the workshops and classes. :)

This week I'll be in Utah County again. See the ad below and come visit me. This will be the last craft show of the year and probably for a while since I'll be teaching come January.

Check out my books this weekend!

We've been busy preparing books for the four shows we will be at in the next few months. The first one is October 16th and 17th! Please come visit me if you're in the Utah County area that weekend, as I'll be sitting at the booth all day both days.

Check it out!

Daniel and I just finished a few custom orders for large longstitch books. I absolutely love them. It seems others do too because we've sold a couple and even had one on the front page of Etsy! In fact, I've been on Etsy's front page featured items four times this month.

I know this because of Craftcult.com which holds a vault of all the treasury lists and items that make it to the front page. You can even do a search of your etsy username to find the lists that you've been in on the front page. I love it. This list tells me that I've been on Etsy's front page featured items 18 times since April.

Treasuries

I love making treasuries on Etsy and I happened to snatch one last night. Here is the lovely result:

And this is a treasury done by Walrustusk that features my Robin's Egg Blue Leather Coptic Bound Book.

Japanese Stab Stitch

While sewing a book the other day, I broke 3 needles. Yes. 3.

Two were on the same hole. For future reference, always make sure that your sewing holes are large enough for your thread, especially when using 4 ply.
