Craft Hope: The Book!!!
I’m always thankful for good news and just wanted to share this with you:
Yes, Craft Hope’s book, put together by Jade Sims, is now available for pre-order from Amazon!!! Most of you already know of Craft Hope and its purpose. The book (“Handmade Crafts for a Cause”) extends this by providing a number of projects contributed by crafters from all over the world and then matches each project with a charity/cause. The result is an inspirational resource for practical ways to share handmade love with people in need.
Jade (one of the nicest and coolest people I have met in the virtual craft community) has put a lot of effort, time, and heart in to this book. I feel very privileged to have been able to contribute a few simple projects. This includes my Ruby Dolls – which you can see happily sitting on the cover above (*girl squeal!!!*).
In the same spirit of Craft Hope, you might also want to read this excellent article on Make & Meaning: What’s Your Creative Mission?
It’s finally Friday! What a week. It’s been filled with craziness so it feels good to be excited about a few things like the book above; an upcoming interstate trip to hang out with an incredible bunch of genuinely good friends; taking up a new interest; travel possibilities next year (very excited about this!); and the Run for Kids event next Sunday, where I’ll be participating – I’m looking forward to being in the midst of that wonderful fun-run atmosphere once again :-) Any other crafters going to Run for Kids too?
Happy Friday/weekend all!
P.S. My etsy shoppe re-opens this Sunday and 3 new fawns will be available then!

The cover of the book looks amazing! Well done on seeing your Ruby Dolls front and centre:) Looking forward to its release in August.

Congratulations. Love the Rubies on the front cover.
I have a confession to make – when I know I am bound to have a bad day at work, I listen to the following songs, in order, on my iPod as I bus or drive into work.
1. Don’t rain on my parade
2. Maybe this time
3. Somebody to love
4. Defying gravity
5 Don’t rain on my parade (again, if the traffic is bad and I haven’t gotten to town yet)

The front cover! How cool is that. The dolls do look great. I am loving Glee! Got the music on my Ipod. Have a great weekend!
