Pure, Unadulterated Evil

For those of you that are slightly sinister, you can now to pre-order your very own Anticraft Craft Book.  

How in the world am I going to wait until November to show you guys my projects?!  This is killing me.  I'm dying to see the photos they took of my stuff.  It's going to be so amazing to open up a book and see things I made ... in print.  Print!  This really is one of the coolest things that's ever happened to me.

To have designed projects for a craft book is really and truly a dream come true.  In the mid 90's I subscribed to every crochet magazine there was.  Every month I would read the designer profiles, and I was SO jealous.  I'm sure every one of those women would have been shocked that a kooky 20-something girl living in San Francisco would covet their celebrity, but I did.

That is so cool and I can't wait to get a copy myself! How long has it been since you first submitted your projects to them?

I started working on the projects in December, and found out I got projects accepted in (http://www.futuregirl.com/craft_blog/2007/01/death-by-happiness.html) January.

In the last email from the AntiCraft gals, they said, '... only 5 more months to go ...' It's been even longer for them. It's really unimaginable how long it takes to get a book out.

How cool! I can't wait to see!! Just don't mention it too often. The suspense will kill me. It's like when my friend tells me over the phone, "I have a surprise for you" but now you have to wait 2 weeks before you get to see it! Ack! But I want to know now and I need to wait until November?! That's ages from now.

This just in: you are The Awesome. Details at 11.

Oh, wait. That's not news; I already knew it. Having it Confirmed In Print is great, though.

Think of it like this.
November is only 5 months away and January was only 5 months ago..and look how that has gone. It will be no time at all.'

can't wait to see your wonders.
