Over the summer we've been indulging in some crafty past-times thanks to some great books. One of our favorites has to be from the queen of crafts Martha Stewart. Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts : An A-Z Guide with Detailed Instructions and Endless Inspiration is a how to book of everything from candle making to etching glass, we love the tissue and crepe paper flowers! Sew, La, Tea, Do by Pip Lincolne is full of wonderful quirky clothes to sew which comes complete with patterns, the Suprise Party Wrap Skirt looks great (and easy!) to make. And how can we go past Cath Kidston? Stitch! has 30 needlepoint and cross stitch projects and even includes everything to make a purse. So dig out your sewing box and dust off your knitting needles and make something beautiful and unique.
