Goodness me – another crazy week – hence the late newsletter – my 10 year old daughter accompanied me to Melbourne for the Stitches and Craft show, I want to give a giant shout out to all the lovely people who came to hear me ramble on and to buy my book and to just stop and have a chat. Big thanks to the lovely people at Can Do books who hosted my little signing table and who are stocking my book in their amazing craft book store – do check out their online shop too. Also today – big kisses to my husband Rob whose birthday it is today, Rob is the most amazingly hardworking and talented person, wonderfully kind and patient father, he is a fab sounding board for all my ideas, he even collaborated with me to do all the drawings in my book and the upcoming one too. How good is that – love ya babe!
