I was late-night reading while my husband slept and when I saw this and I almost screamed! I've known Heather Armstrong of dooce (virtually) for years, she even wrote the Foreword to my Kitty Wigs book. When my Subversive Cross Stitch Activity and Coloring book came out earlier this year, I just couldn't bring myself to send one to her because I know she gets SCADS of books and I hate asking friends to promote my stuff. But then she started this series about all the books she receives and donates to the library in SLC. So, I thought, Well,...

Order your copy of our upcoming coloring and activity book to receive a free pack of Subversive Cross Stitch colored pencils! Order from Amazon, Barnes and Noble or IndieBound and send your order confirmation to hello@weldonowen.com They're honoring all pre-orders with order confirmations while supplies last! Book comes out April 18th! WHEE!! I borrowed the song from Dee-lite! Of course they have all copyrights etc. You can buy their music on Amazon, iTunes, I don't know, I feel I need to acknowledge them so hey! The song is "Groove Is In The Heart" if you didn't know that already.

It's HERE! We've been working so hard on this book and I'm thrilled to finally get to share it with you! It comes out in April, but you can pre-order on our site or Amazon. If you'd like to give it as a gift, we have some cool gift cards - just ask and we can send you one to give as a "pre" gift. The gift of delayed gratification, right? There are 40 coloring pages and activities that are hilariously subversive. The illustrator is a long-time favorite of mine, the awesome Chris Piascik. I really think you'll enjoy it....

He just set up a NSFW T-shirt shop featuring some of his photographs which include some pretty subversive onesies if you're in the market. He photographs the Dallas burlesque scene and fantasy scenarios - not for the faint of heart!

I love seeing where the books end up and what you're making! If you hashtag #subversivecrossstitch or #subversivecrossstitchbook, especially on Instagram, know that I'll be looking, probably responding and sometimes reposting!
