It's a big, HUGE day for me.
My book hits stores today. Wow.
My new website is LIVE.
Our new Ruffle Pants are arriving from the printer today. (Hooray! They been out of stock forever..)
AND (!!!!)
Meadowsweet 2
And now I will have nothing new to talk about for a year. :) Nah, I will. But let me talk a little about these things now.
The website-this is going to be a gradual new website. All of the specific pages aren't completely finished yet, and while it bugs me to put it live without everything being neat and tidy and in place, people need a place to order patterns from. So, enjoy! All of our current patterns are in stock, and the new ones will be up before we leave for market. But mosey around and see the fun things that are coming. This site has been in the works for a long time, and I'm thrilled to finally see it go live! (even if it isn't totally complete.)
Meadowsweet 2 deserves its' own post, so I will give it one on Wednesday. But there it is in all its glory. I love it. It is a new approach to color for me, and it took more tries than I'm used to to get it right. But I LOVE it! It is available for preorder right now - contact your Michael Miller sales rep and they will set you up.
Yeah!! I'll be ordering one for me and one for the library where I work. (I have the joy of ordering craft books for a public library)

I was at the bookstore the day you posted this and decided to have a look at the book. It immediately went into my shopping cart at Amazon, but then I had to go back to the store to get it - I couldn't wait. I love this book and I remember once you said there was no filler and you are so right! Great job, I'm about to start on a project already.

Hey Sandi, love the new site! I think you might have a typo though on the button for "Free Projects" (Currently says "Free Projoects".)
Just thought I'd mention it. Love it! Can't wait to pick up the new book too!
