Ya know kid, I am an elderly newbee who thinks you are a very special lady. By September I will be able to order your first two books! I am really into tiny amigurumi. Maybe some patterns off Etsy too!
Please take good care and Don’t put so much on your plate that you burn yourself out. Just a bit of advice from an old lady who has been there and done that…

Thank you, Maryann! And don’t worry… I’m very careful not to burn out! I run every morning, do yoga, and don’t work past 6pm :)
I have cuddly crochet and crocheted softies and I’m sooo happy for you, I’ll be getting your third book for sure. The other two books are very enjoyable. Your creativity brings never ending fun, you’re good at it.
Congratulations on your new book deal. I’ve been following you for sometime. Love all your creations. I’ll be waiting along with everyone else for this book. It’ll be great!!
Congratulations on your upcoming book, Stacey. I can’t wait to purchase a copy. Because of you, I’ve been able to really understand crochet and make some cute things to boot. Your Craftsy classes are so much fun, I hope you’ll do some more of those too. (If anyone is reading this, go sign up!) You are totally awesome!!!
