If you have any interest in publishing a craft book at some point, either the traditional way (through a print publisher) or by self-publishing an eBook, you should definitely listen &#8211; there&#8217;s a lot more to publishing a book (either way) than you might realise! <\/p>\n<p><em>For my non-crafty family and friends who don&#8217;t have any interest in the subject matter but just want to hear me and my English accent, my section starts at 13 mins through <\/em>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also very happy to be able to reveal my latest punchneedle design, entitled <strong>Serengeti Sunset<\/strong>. Distinctive acacia trees are silhouetted against the African sunset as giraffes and an elephant wander the plains of the Serengeti:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/serengetisunset.jpg\" alt=\"serengeti sunset punchneedle embroidery by planetjune\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This design is a little different from my others &#8211; I laid it out as a long landscape, which would make a great embellishment for a purse or bag, as well as a stunning wallhanging.<\/p>\n<p>I also modified the design to create a tapered coffee sleeve to fit over a standard disposable coffee cup. The loops of punchneedle embroidery form a thick, dense fabric which is perfect to use as a barrier to stop your hand from being burnt while holding your hot beverage of choice! Look stylish while you help save the environment by not using a second cup or a cardboard disposable sleeve each time you buy a coffee:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/sunset_coffeesleeve.jpg\" alt=\"punchneedle coffee sleeve by planetjune\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>The full instructions for both the flat rectangular embroidery and the tapered coffee sleeve (with full assembly instructions) are provided in the Serengeti Sunset pattern.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&#038;cPath=27&#038;products_id=88\">Serengeti Sunset pattern<\/a> costs $5, or take advantage of my new special offers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Purchase any punchneedle pattern for half price when you buy my eBook, <strong><em><a href=\"\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&#038;cPath=27&#038;products_id=79\">The Punchneedle Handbook<\/a><\/em><\/strong> <\/li>\n<li>Buy any three punchneedle patterns for only $11.25 with my <a href=\"\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&#038;cPath=27&#038;products_id=80\">custom set listing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ve set up a new <a href=\"\/list\">mailing list for my punchneedle designs<\/a>, so please sign up for that if you&#8217;d like notification when I release new patterns!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you like my latest design!
