If you are anything like me and still have a handful of hard-to-buy-for people to purchase Christmas presents for, perhaps this might help you!
As a special Christmas offer, I am upgrading ALL of the book purchases made in my webstore to Express Postage. If you make your purchase by lunch time on Wednesday 22nd December, you will be guaranteed delivery before Christmas!
I am more than happy to wrap and post your book directly to your recipient if that helps too – I know how difficult it is trying to get presents to their destinations on time!
And if you are wanting the book for YOURSELF for Christmas, maybe get your sister/mother/girlfriend to hint to your husband/partner ASAP!!
AND if you would like me to pop some Citrus pOp goodies into your parcel to be guaranteed Christmas postage, make an order and let me know and I’ll refund you the Citrus pOp postage.
Morning! This is a bit of a boring post, but will be very helpful if you would like me to answer questions that you leave for me in comments…
My friend Kate taught me how to do this and it certainly has made my blogging life easier 🙂
So, when you leave a comment on my (or anyone else’s) blog post, your comment will either be displayed as “anonymous” or with your profile name. All of the comments left on my blog also show up in my inbox. Unfortunately more than half of the comments that are left on my blog do not have an email address directly associated with them – which makes it really hard for me to reply to you or answer a question that you may have asked me!
To make things a lot easier, PLEASE do this:
Go to your blog and click on the “Dashboard” link at the top of the page. Even if you don’t have a blog, you can still have a blogger account which you can leave comments from.
When you click on “Dashboard”, you will see the following page:
Then click on “Edit Profile” on the left-hand side…
Which will take you to the following page. In order for me to be able to reply directly to your comments, all you have to do is tick the box that says “Show my email address”. Easy!! This doesn’t mean that everyone will be able to see your email address, but does mean that when your comment shows up in my inbox, I can reply to you directly from my email.
If you don’t have a blogger account and are always leaving comments as “Anonymous” that is fine too, but if you want me to know who you are or would like me to answer a question, PLEASE type your email address into the comment. I often have people asking me questions about pattern availability, supplies used, etc. and most of the time I can’t respond because I don’t have your email address to reply to.
Okay, boring stuff aside…
I have had tonnes of people asking about purchasing my book overseas. Currently it is not available overseas, but should be sometime in the future. Yes, postage from my store is VERY expensive for New Zealand and the rest of the world. The book weighs almost 1.5kg which means it costs a lot for me to post. I have had a hunt around some online stores selling my book though and have found a few with quite reasonable postage rates.
Yep…today is THE day my book is officially released! If you happen to be in a book store and see it, feel free to take a quick snap and email it to me…that would be cool 🙂
Thank you so much for all of your enthusiasm and support about my book, I really appreciate it and hope that you get many fun hours of sewing from it.
A couple of new book reviews have recently gone up (some of them including giveaways) if you are interested in having a read head over to… Day to Day Red Pepper Quilts Chunky Chooky
I’m back from quilt market, had a ball and met some wonderful people…will do a post (with pitiful photos because I was super slack with the camera) about it in the next couple of days once I recover and get the house cleaned up!
A couple of other good reads…
Rachel (one of my lovely pattern testers) has posted her Afterglow and Playtime Skort photos here and here.
Fiona has posted the outtakes from our photoshoot on her blog – this is why I prefer her taking the photos…she can get unhappy little contenders to look adorable no matter what!!
Oh, and if you are looking for the three new pattens, Elissa at Kelani Fabric has them up and ready for sale now. They should start popping up all over the place very quickly too 🙂
Only 12 days until the official book release date!! So excited about seeing it in the shops and especially about seeing what projects you guys create from it 🙂
I have decided to temporarily open an online store and sell a limited number of SIGNED books. If you would like the message made out to someone or to say something in particular, let me know.
The books are for PRE-ORDER now, they will be posted within 1 week of release date.
I’ve recently listed a few more Make It Perfect samples in my Etsy and Made It stores. All of the samples I have for sale are in brand new condition and have been used for display purposes only. Hopefully someone out there will be able to put them to good use, seems a shame to have them hiding away in a cupboard!
