crafty girls talk- giveaway

DSCF0148

DSCF0155

I was honoured a while back when Jennifer Forest interviewed me for her book Crafty Girls Talk, which is fresh off the press this month (you can read more about it here.) The book is like a craft group on paper- in it, Jennifer chats to 20 different crafty women about their work and inspirations, and includes many photos too. It's a lovely collection, and she kindly sent me an extra copy for one of you to keep, dear readers.

Would you like the extra copy for your craft book collection? Just leave a comment below and I will draw a winner at the end of the week.

    How awesome for you! So admire your work and how you manage to get it done. I myself am trying to get back into sewing but with three kids under five its hard work. You and your work are amazing!
