Big News > Secret Project!
Ok. Here it goes. I have mentioned the 'secret project' i have been working on before.Now that all the official paperwork has been sent in it is safe to unveil a little more.
Ismoyo is working on her first craft book!
Scheduled to be released in the US fall of 2008.
Still can't tell everything about it, but this is how it went. I have been in contact with Quarto Publishing Group in the UK before. And awhile ago we started talking about new book ideas. They asked me to work on a great idea for a new craft book. If i could write a synopsis and make a presentation to go to the annual bookfair in Frankfurt. Oh it was all so exciting! Depending on the feedback, i would or would not get the approval to work on the actual book.
So with everything that was going on during my move to the United States and trying to get settled here, i was also working on my synopsis and presentation projects. And it paid off! People loved what i did so far and now i just recently signed the author contract! Whoohoo!
It is going to be a lot of hard work. A lot. But i am happy to put the work in. It's what i love to do. So i feel really blessed to be doing this.
I wish i could show of every project that will be in the book as i make them, but than i would basically publish everything here on my blog. And you understand i can't do that. I hope i can squeeze in some time to do other crafts to keep being able to also post crafty posts here, otherwise it will be alot of work in progress pictures that show what i'm doing but at the same time don't reveal too much...
Ohyeah, this also means my online shop opening will be postponed. Again. I know, i know. But I have mad a lot of progress. Really. Building the store backend is almost finished, some products to list too. Still got to make more items, make product pictures and descriptions, upload and announce opening. But no dedicated time for that right now. If you are already on my mailinglist, you will be informed about the publication of the book and the opening of the shop as soon as they happen. If not, don't forget to sign up and be a part of it!
