chic craft for the holidays
This has to be one of the most beautful craft ideas books I have ever seen.Mary Norden has a very contemporary eye for detail, there is a touch of Martha Stewartness about the presentation but without any fussiness (Nordern suggests tapered candles in a galvanised bucket, but she never suggests you make the candles yourself!) A glorious indulgence - you know what I mean, the sort of bed you can ...

Not your grandmother's needlepoint
This book brings the beauty of the various international fabrics to your needlepoint canvas. It's not your grandmother's needlepoint - no cats or flowers, just bold and exciting designs with great color graphs and ideas. I highly recommend this book - I even ordered a copy for my sister although it was out-of-print.

A thoroughly inspirational book on an activity that is so often just a matter of buying paper and sticking a ready made bow on if you're feeling extravagant. The materials she uses range from everday household items and inexpensive or recycled bits and pieces through to more luxurious trimmings. As the saying goes "It's the thought that counts" and anyone receiving a gift wrapped using these ...

Lovely photos, and the cutest designs!
