I’ve just finished all the stitch instructions and diagrams, one day ahead of my deadline. WOOHOO!!
Just did a spell check and word count. Its over 35000 words. I don’t think I’ve ever written that much before… Its certainly more than my previous books. And yet, so much of it is pictures.
I must do a picture count at some point. I think I’ll be amazed how many there are. It wouldn’t surprise me if there were over 1000. (…a few seconds later…) I just did the maths. 1000 pictures divided by approximately 130 pages = about 7.69 pictures per page. Yep, I’ll have easily exceeded 1000 pictures.
Now I’m off to read “The Secret Scriptures” by Sebastian Barry. Time for a break! 🙂

Congratulations, Yvette!Well done!
so approx how long til it hits our hot little paws?
Thanks Méri!
Elmsley Rose, oh there’s still so much more to do! I have to stitch all the examples for photography, take the photos, write the introductory text, edit the book, proofread it etc. At least as I am a book designer by profession, the layout is being done as I go.
Then it will go off to be printed, taking about 2 months. I’d LIKE for it to be available before the end of the year, but I’m just not into making those sorts of promises anymore! (I would have LIKED to not get sick last year, after all!)
So when you read here that it has gone off to the printers, you can probably assume then that it will only be a few more months. But then it also has to be sent out to shops and distributors around the world…
Please continue to be patient! 😀
