The alarm went off at 3:26 a.m. on Monday the 5th. I was on my way to New York City.
First stop was Lion Brand Yarn Studio, to drop off one of my wall hangings called Passionate Heart. The Yarn Studio will be its home through July 2014. Now I can say that my artwork has been exhibited in New York. Yippeeeeee!
New York is a town for walking, and I did. The Martians of Cute Crochet World hung around with the southern lion at the New York Public Library. He was a little stony faced, but otherwise imposing and friendly toward little crocheted persons.
Another day brought me to Sterling Publishing, new home to Lark Books and their authors. I met with Josh, the publicist for Cute Crochet World, and dropped off three new book proposals. Fingers crossed.
I found a Barnes & Noble Bookseller on East 17th Street. Crochet Garden was among the crochet books on the fourth floor. I turned both copies face-forward on the shelf. It’s what authors do.
