In the midst of all of the confusion earlier today I never got a chance to take a look at the fresh new copy of the book that arrived in the mail earlier. I'm actually looking at the copy Kate received for doing the cover art—in a typical event for me, my copy is somewhere lost in the mail ;) It's really eerie to see the project that I've been working on for the last year finalized and in my hands.

Being a software developer, most of the final products of my technical work are kind of ephemeral in nature, so actually holding the product is something that I normally only get from my artwork (in fact, this is one of the things that specifically draws me to textile art). I know that I said previously that the book would be a December release, and it still kind of is—it'll take a few weeks for the book to move through the production channels and make it into stores, though it'll probably still happen before the end of the month.
