Still alive! Plus exciting news!

And kicking.... despite my silence! Still waiting to get my groove back in the new crafty space, but I'm going to officially cut myself a little slack. Plus, I've got some good news. I'm so excited to announce that I've got a new book coming out next month. Stash Happy Felt features 30 projects to make from all that felt stash taking up space in your closet. The designers for this book are absolutely and fabulously talented... the projects are fun, unique, inventive, and stash-bustingly awesome! Here's a sneak peek:There are so many super fun projects in the book. We'll be sharing a few of them (and holding some felt giveaways!) over on the Lark Crafts blog later this month and in early October. In the meantime, here are a few of my projects from the book:

    I preordered your book months ago and didn't expect it until October. I received it earlier than expected- a month ago. Already completed a project with many plans for more. I love all of the ideas. It is just as amazing as Fa La La La Felt. Thanks for putting this great book together.

    Hi Amanda,
    I just bought your book "fa la la felt" and can't wait to get started. I began making felt ornaments when I was in high school (actually had a full size tree in my bedroom). I stopped making them when the only felt I could find was the stuff at the craft store. I have looked online to find good quality felt, can you suggest a site that I might try? Thank you and my compliments on your adorable designs!

    Hi, Lorlor. Thanks so much for the kind words! My favorite felt is from National Nonwovens: http://www.commonwealthfelt.com/. They've got lots of kinds and TONS of colors! Enjoy!
