You may have noticed that 2009 began with my announcement<\/a> that I am taking the leap into self-employment, and then… well, not a lot else. Two patterns in two months is hardly impressive, especially when I should have all this extra time available. But I haven’t just been lazing about; now I can (finally) reveal what’s been going on…<\/p>\n

Are you ready for my huge, exciting news? <\/p>\n

\"paper
\nEarly prototypes<\/em><\/p>\n

I have been writing a book! But wait – it’s probably not the book you’d guess I’d write… It’s a papercraft book about paper chains and garlands<\/strong>, and it all came about through my work on Folding Trees<\/a>. I’ve been working really hard for the past couple of months designing the projects, creating the samples, writing the instructions and drawing the illustrations, and now it’s finally coming together!<\/p>\n

\"paper
\nPretty papers<\/em><\/p>\n

My book should be out in the US through Barnes & Noble in late summer 2009. The process has been a lot of fun, a phenomenal amount of work, and a big eye-opener into the world of print publishing. I’ll share more details as the publication date approaches…<\/p>\n

Now I am returning to my crochet designs, and I should have two<\/strong> new patterns for you by the end of the week!<\/p>\n

\"ArtFireAnd one more thing: If you sell your crafts and you’re still undecided about signing up for an ArtFire membership, I strongly suggest you give it some more thought. Since I wrote my last ArtFire post<\/a>, the $7 advance memberships have been going very quickly – half of the remaining memberships have been snapped up in the past 10 days! If you miss out on one, you’d have to pay $20 per month if you want to enjoy the full benefits of selling on ArtFire. <\/p>\n

Looking at my March sales to date, my ArtFire sales are at 22% of my Etsy total, which tells me that the monthly fee has already been worth it! I would guess that the last $7 memberships will be gone in about a week, so please do consider grabbing one before it’s too late. And if you do, please list me (planetjune<\/strong>) as your referrer – thank you! Here’s my direct link: Register on ArtFire.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
