I think I have decided on what the next book is going to be. I’m not going to say what it is yet, because the decision could change. But I figured it was better to get started on something, rather than just sitting around for months pondering what my decision should be. Someone very wise […] I’m turning ideas over in my head for what book to write next. I could write another Hardanger book, a book of Mountmellick projects, another merezhka book, another stitch dictionary or two, or… I have heaps of ideas, but figuring out which one to do next is the difficulty! Do you have any preferences? […] Over the last few days I feel like I’ve been doing a bit of everything! Last Thursday, when I was at the Powerhouse Museum with Lisa the colour proofs of my book arrived. I’ve spent the last few days checking them, finding more mistakes (most of which were my doing!) and fixing the mistakes. When […] I got an email very late last night from the printing company that’s printing my book, querying four pages where they had found problems. One of the problems I had checked for already, so I’m not sure how it slipped through, but obviously it did! The other 3 problems were things that I had not […] I spent a bit of time on Friday and Saturday working on a video preview of “Portuguese Whitework”. It’s been quite fun. I have no idea about video – my brain designs better in two dimensions – even though I did some really basic stuff at uni when I did my design degree. At the […] Yesterday afternoon my daughter and I drove to the Post Office (yes, drove! – that’s a new one for me!) and I posted off the printouts and files of “Portuguese Whitework” to my printers in Hong Kong. Just quietly, it doesn’t feel as marvellous as I might have expected, to have it finished, possibly because […] I spent about 10 hours yesterday reading through the printouts of the book again. And finding lots more little things to fix… At the beginning of the day I was thinking to myself “Oh, I’ll let that one go. It’ll be ok” but then I thought to myself “No! This is my chance to […] I am hoping to send off my files for Portuguese Whitework to the printer today. That will depend on how I go with reading through and checking the entire book. I’ve made all the changes that my husband found the other day and had it printed out again. Hopefully I will find very little this […] I nearly forgot to write my blog post this morning – I just got straight onto working on the book! On Saturday I finally finished what I call my “first draft”. For anyone else writing a book, this would mean that the author had finished getting all the words out of their head and onto […] I’ve been working hard filling pages of the book. Currently there are only two pages that are yet to have anything put on them. One is a chapter opener that I need to take a photo for, and one is a fairly simple step-by-step instruction page. Once they’re done, the first draft will be complete. […] |
