What's the new book about?

Re: Is there anyone out there???
 

Needle Felting - I got a book published last year titled: "Needle Felting - to the Point" which was about techniques. Unlike most craft books, it wasn't a project book. I used a lot of projects to illustrate the information I was explaining. It was filled with a lot of really good information on the tools, materials and how to work with them. It's doing pretty well.

The second book I want to be on problem solving and may actually include some step by step projects. Currently I'm thinking of doing a woodland fantasy theme for the book. I created this diorama this past week which I might use for some of the photos. I'm in the process of building another diorama and may end up including step by step instructions for building it.

Now if the weather will cooperate, I might make more progress. We have snow (urg) today and the heat in my craft room doesn't work so unlikely I will get a lot done today.

That looks amazing! Nice work :)
I am very impressed.

Booo!

Guess you didn't see me coming! But I'm back trying to get W&W working on windows 7. Well, I'm not so much trying any longer than giving up. :(

Hi Willow!!!!

Nice to see you again!!! :)

Sorry to hear that you can't get W&W to work with Windows7 - I haven't even tried!

Re: Is there anyone out there???
 

You too wyv! It's been too long, and it's all my fault. Funny how life does that to one. ;)

I thought it'd be a piece of cake, install windows 7, install microsoft virtual PC, install windows 98, install W&W --> PLAY! But no :( Still playing around some since I believe it's a directx issue of some kind.

And congrats on getting a book published. That's really impressive! I've only tried needle felting once, making a couple of snowmen from an available kit. Had a great time doing it with the kids.

Hope you manage to get W&W working!! Probably is a directx issue - seemed to often be just that!

Second book on Needle Felting should be out soon - it's such an interesting and versatile craft/art. You can check out some of the things I have done at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/prittens/
While I prefUR to make prittens (pretty kittens) - I've made a lot of other beasties, mostly for classes on CraftEdu.com - I need to get another class made for them soon.

That giraffe is so adorable! Not a big fan of giraffes, but oh my. I think I need to try it once more, if my fingers can stand it. ;)

Will it even run on Windows 7. I miss the days of playing W&W, now I hardly play PC games at all.

Re: Is there anyone out there???
 

I don't know if it will run on Win7. I really haven't tried. I used to play a fair amount of PC games. Now I really don't have time for it. There also seem to be fewer PC games and more and more games played on the web.
Things change!!
