One thing that happened during my bloggie absence was the publication of this book in September by Penguin Australia. Some of you may remember the wonderful Softies book from last year which I contributed two patterns for. Penguin Group has once again done an amazing job putting this beautifully photographed book together featuring 22 new creations from many of the same crafters and designers from the previous edition. I'm beyond excited to once again be a part of it!
They've has also created a website just for the two books which features an exclusive pattern, and wallpapers to download including my little pup shown above. Fun!
Updated: The American version of More Softies was released in February 2010 under the title "More Softies Only a Mother Could Love: 22 New Friends to Sew and Crochet" you can buy it from Amazon here.
This doggie is TOOOOO cute!!
Kisses from Brazil!

Yes, I was so happy to discover this one in the bookshop! Usually you hear all about these things online before they come out but this time I had no idea! I've still only made one softie from the first book, but I really want to try your little pup from this one too!

Congrats Myra! You deserve a book of your own soon, or are you working on one? One with mini things of all kind if you ask me! :-)

Congratulations! I live in the U.S. and have been looking for the Softies book forever. Would you happen to know where I can find copies of the two softies books?
