adventures of a quilting diva

… Not the space shuttle launch, but my book release! I almost forgot to tell you …

That’s right, Fast, Fun & Easy Fabric Cover-Button Jewelry: Create Gifts & Glamour in an Afternoon is now available for your creative pleasure!

I’ve always wanted to wear my fabric stash, but without all the fuss of getting body measurements exactly right, making two sleeves that are the same length, and etcetera.

Luckily getting two earrings the same length is much easier {and faster} than sleeves. You can even get up early, make a pair to match your outfit, and wear them that very same day. Try doing that when making a blouse or jacket.

I’m working on the PayPal shopping cart for my new website. It’s nearly finished and when it’s done, (Friday 9-18-09 update: the shop is now open!) I will have a special offer for you, my wonderful blog readers:

One free Kurumi Mini Lanyard Kit with every book purchased through October 5, 2009 to get you started on your button adventure. This kit includes two Kurumi cover buttons and a silver-plated mini lanyard. Just enter “DIVA” in the coupon code box. There’ll be a box for if you want your book signed as well.

The online shop should be open this weekend. Until then feel free to look around. (Friday 9-18-09 update: the shop is now open!)

Here’s one of my Kurumi Mini Lanyards. Making a mini lanyard is even faster and easier than making a pair of earrings, because you only have to make one and it doesn’t have to match anything in particular. (Just follow the earrings instructions starting on page 41, substituting the mini lanyard in place of the earring finding and make only one instead of two.)

Hang your Kurumi Mini Lanyard from a USB flash drive, cell phone, digital camera, purse strap or belt loop.

happy beading! =(^_^)=
