I’m excited to share with you a new ebook I was asked to contribute to:

Crafty Tree Trimmings is a beautiful ebook collection of ornament projects, designed by a talented group of crafters. Inside, you’ll find step-by-step photo instructions and templates to make:

• Crocheted Flower Ornament, by Linda Permann
• Felted Gingerbread House Ornament, by Betz White
• Bead and Button Sparkle Ornament, by Susan Beal
• Vintage Treasure Ornament, by Kayte Terry
• Gossamer Thread Three Ornament, by Diane Gilleland
• Paper Globe Ornament, by Patricia Zapata, who is also the book’s designer

These projects range from beginner to intermediate level, and use a fun variety of readily-available materials. The ornaments themselves are perfect as small gifts, gift toppers, or to adorn a wreath or tree.

This is my ornament design, a little Felted Gingerbread House.

• 15% of all proceeds from Crafty Tree Trimmings will be donated to Project Linus (www.projectlinus.org), a nationwide organization that collects handmade blankets and gives them to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need.

Crafty Tree Trimmings is available now in the Craftypod Shop until December 31, 2009, so hurry and order your copy!
