The arrival of this book in my house provoked squealing, jumping, and uninhibited happy dancing. Not from me; from my manga- and anime-loving daughter! Don't get me wrong: This colorful book full of lively needlework designs made my heart sing.

Manga Cross Stitch Off to Washington to speak at the Smithsonian Institution about Osamu Tezuka - and do some stitchy shopping if there's time.

Manga Cross Stitch Welcome to my adorable new great-nephew Oliver, bornto Amy and Christopher two days ago, and doing very well. What an incentive to stitch more cute characters!

Manga Cross Stitch This Fine Cell Work event next week deserves your support. If you can't be there, check out the website and see their great new work. Stone walls do not a prison make, at least not when you've got a creative outlet to give you hope for life on the outside.
Manga Cross Stitch More book signings at Expo - sorry to miss the Women In Comics conference at Cambridge but it was great to meet so many more stitchers and talk about ways of making original stitch art.
Manga Cross Stitch I had lots of fun yesterday signing copies of Manga Cross-Stitch at the MCM Expo at Excel. Several people promised to send me photos of their first piece from the book or original work inspired by it - I'm really looking forward to that!
