Muse of the Morning Can Be Found In....

I am super excited! Today is the day!!

I feel like I’ve been going on about this for a long long time… but it’s finally here!

Two of my patterns are being featured in 2 books and they were just released today!! Woohoo!! We’re doing a blog tour starting tomorrow, and I’ll be featuring a giveaway on June 14!

I hope you’ll check the books out!
First, there is the Matryoshka Book:

This is from the media kit on the Matryoshka Book:

Matryoshka, or Russian nesting dolls, aren’t just for collectors anymore. They’re in commercials and you can even buy Matryoshka measuring cups and other household goods. What better time to release a how-to craft book all about Matryoshka?

Folklore Crafts: Matryoshka features 13 projects by artists from all over the world. The projects inside vary from sewing to crochet, embroidery to traditional nesting dolls with a modern twist.

These are mine!

You can purchase the book as an e-book or in print here at MagCloud!

Then there’s the Garden Gnomes Book:

This is from the media kit on the Garden Gnome Book:

Gnomes are no longer only in your garden. They are popping up everywhere – the Travelocity Gnome, the movie Amelie and there’s even a huge movement to liberate gnomes from their yards. What better time to release a how-to craft book all about Garden Gnomes?
Folklore Crafts: Garden Gnomes features 13 projects by artists from all over the world. The projects inside vary from sewing to crochet, paper quilling to knitting, for babies and adults.

Those are my little Gnomies on the cover (yay!), I think they look so sweet and cuddly there!

You can buy the Garden Gnomes book here at here at MagCloud

And here is the blog tour that we’ve got going on starting tomorrow until June 18!! That is an awesome fun ton of reviews and posts and giveaways, so I hope you’ll check everyone out!! My day is June 14, which coincidentally is my parent’s anniversary- not that the one has anything to do with the other, but come back for my thoughts on the books and (AND!) I’m going to giveaway those very gnomes that are on the cover and the pair of matyroshka that are featured in the Matryoshka book!! Of course I’ll have other cool stuff in the meantime, so make sure you’re coming back regularly (or click the little rss guy in the left sidebar to subscribe and get this puppy in your rss reader!!).
