Happy First Day Post-Book!

Oct 17, 2012 | 16 Comments

To start, this has been such a super emotionally charged time for me!  There have been smiles, tears (all good!), giddiness, and lots of love shared and I must just say how amazing you guys are!  From the beautiful blog comments, to the amazing tweets, Facebook mentions, Instagram likes, and emails, there really aren’t words to describe how much I love you all.  You’re my fantastic little family and I’m just so overwhelmed by everyone’s goodness.

I got some fab pics sent in by readers and I just had to share!

Hello coolest shot ever!!  Meow!!

    I wonder if it’s CHAPTERS? I will check that out today, if it is, I am buying it, today! If it isn’t, I will have to wait until the end of the month when I can use my VISA (Amazon) and then wait until it comes in the mail .sigh.

    I hope you make a million bucks. I ordered pre-ordered mine from Amazon a few weeks ago- hope I’m the first in Australia to get it !!

    Doing my happy dance for you! Wish I lived in So Cal so I could come to the book party… Wisconsin in any of your future plans? LOL Congrats you deserve this with all of your hard work!

    My book is *supposed* to come today – pre-ordered from Amazon so I could get my signed bookplate from you! When it comes I’ll send you a pic for sure, so hopefully it makes it onto the blog!!!

    Got my book yesterday, I was pretty excited. Then I woke up this morning and made some on the fly work shorts, just like you had in the book! =)

    Got my book this morning thanks to Amazon. It is great and not intimidating. I can sew but you make it easy for non-sewers. It is also an enjoyable read even if you don’t make anything. Thank you.

    I read the whole thing already! I just couldn’t stop, it was so good. It just felt like I had a sewing buddy to cheer me on. I love that I can have you next to my sewing machine (and with me at Goodwill) from now on! Your red velvet dress has inspired me to break open the “adult size Halloween costumes” box in my closet and re-do the black velvet dress I wore for an 80s party in college. Happy stitching!

    So proud of you (and your mom and dad who raised you)!
