Oh no, we have to wait soooo long for its release! Well, I just know it will be worth the wait. Congratulations, Ayumi -- I always hoped you would write a book so that I could make all the projects in it!
Yay!!!...it's finally here! I'm so excited for you my friend. I can't wait to get my hands on it...I already know how perfectly wonderful every project is!
Woo hoo! I was hoping your relatively quiet state over the past bit has been because you had a book in the works! You always come up with the best projects, so this one will be a must-buy. Congratulations!!! Can't wait to hear more.
I cannot tell you how excited I am to see YOUR book, Ayumi. I just know I'll want to make every single thing in it. Congratulations on a lot of very hard work and for keeping it a secret (I'm terrible at that!). xoxox
I never said a word to anyone about it! I am so relieved you let the cat out the bag first! Congratulations dear Ayumi! I am so happy that your wonderful work will be part of my craft library very soon!
Woohoo! I hope in some way I'm responsible for making you let your secret out when I asked if you were gonna to write your book. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Ayumi, I am so happy for you! I read your email and had to stop the car to tell my husband all about your announcement. I told him of ALL people, you are so talented, YOU deserve to have a book. I couldn't stop talking about all the wonderful things you make - ice cream cones too! ahhahaha
Now only if you can arrange a Book Signing back here in the U.S. I wish you were in San Jose - you know I shared with you that I live in the Bay Area and wished you were part of of Modern Guild. And you would have been, had you still been here. I would have been standing in line for the autographed copy. :)
Congratulations! Now it is "ALL OF US", that must be patient till your book is available. So exciting!!!
oh Ayumi congratulations, that's awesome!! I will definitely buy your book, I love the sweet and clever things you design and make, can't wait til it's released!! Cat.
Congratulations Ayumi, I cannot wait to get this book. You are so massively talented and one of the nicest people in the blogasphere - this book will be a HUGE success. XXX
Thank you so much! I hope you will enjoy this book! Most projects in it are somewhat more involved than the projects I wrote tutorials for, but quite a bit of easy and fun projects ;)
I kind of suspected this was coming out because I told my publisher ages ago that someone needs to persuade you to write a book, and they said "she may just have a contract already"! I'm so happy to see you really did. Preordering for sure!
So excited for your book! You are so talented and I look forward to buying the book. The cover is fabulous:) Let us know when and where - please! xo blromney@yahoo.com
yay!!! That would be, "pre-order with one-click" right away. just did it. Can't wait to get mine. SO excited for/proud of YOU. You are a stud. Congratulations, friend. xoxo, Carrie b.
Oh Ayumi, you never cease to amaze us. I dream that one day I'll be able to paper piece like you! Can't wait for the book to come out. Cheers from Australia.
I most certainly will. I've only started sewing a year ago and one of the first things I made was one of the fabric baskets from your tutorial. You are such an inspiration! I love quirky and different things and unusual fabrics and you sure have the lot! :) Good luck with everything and keep up with the good work!
Congrats Ayumi!--You know we've all been waiting for this! I don't know how many times I've seen/heard someone say that you should write a book. =) So excited for you. =)
