Waking Up In The Land of Glitter
A Crafty Chica Novel
by Kathy Cano-Murillo
isbn 9780446509244
Pub. date 3/1/10

Publisher’s description: With glue guns, glitter, twigs, or yarn, the ordinary can become extraordinary . . . especially at La Pachanga. Owned by Estrella “Star” Esteban’s family, the restaurant has a rep for two things: good food and great art. La Pachanga brings people together-even when it looks like they couldn’t be further apart. One ill-fated evening, Star jeopardizes her family’s business, her relationship with her boyfriend, and her future career. To redeem herself, she agrees to participate in a national craft competition, teaming up with her best friend, Ofelia-a secretly troubled mother whose love for crafting borders on obsession-and local celebrity Chloe Chavez-a determined television personality with more than one skeleton in her professional closet. If these unlikely allies can set aside their differences, they’ll find strength they never knew they had, and learn that friendship, like crafting, is truly an art form.

Kathy Cano-Murillo has made a successful career out of her love for crafts. She’s the founder of the CraftyChica.com and appears on LifetimeTV, HGTV and the DIY Network. She also has craft products available in retail stores.

There have been some fabulous novels tying cooking and recipes to fictional tales, so I was happy to see a crafting theme for a fictional novel. The book is a fun read for the crafts and for the warm and sometimes complicated relationships. As crafters know, there is much more to crafting than a finished product. The process and everything that goes into the art, makes the finished products special.
