I seem to get a lot of comments on my Ravelry projects page about this book here. Many of you have this book, but are jealous of the spiral bound issue that I have. I’ll let you in on a little secret… I simply took the book to a quick copy center and had them cut it about 1/8" in from the perfect binding, cover and all, then rebind it with spiral binding. Voila! A soft cover book that I can fold over and lay flat. It costs between 3 & 4 bucks and is very helpful. Since I work in publishing, specifically in production, I really geek out at these little things. This would be really great for any soft cover cookbooks too, wouldn’t it?

Why am I blushing?

Though I’m not one prone to blushing, I was tickled to see my blog listed on one of my favorite blogs Iguana Banana as one of her faves.

I love stopping in to see what’s going on in Ahna’s very rich life. Beautiful kids, actively submerging them in a life filled with the arts. . . wish I was one of her kids, but seeing as we are very close in age . . . would be weird.

Ahna, I loved looking at the other blogs you listed and will visit them often.

Thanks Ahna!

Coffee Break Spanish I must admit that I have a little trouble understanding these two when they are speaking English, are the Scottish? Even so, their accents are lovely.

One Minute Irish I’ve yet to listen to this one, will let you know.
