Yesterday it arrived.
I leafed through it quickly last night while at my stitching group, but I think I was just too tired (and probably too distracted chatting with the girls) to really notice what was in the book. But then I got home and took the book to bed with me to read a bit more, and that's when I knew that my expectations of the book had been realised. This was a special book; a bloody excellent book.
Because let's be really honest here - how could a book that recommends a cup of tea and an iced vovo as part of the project preparation NOT be an excellent craft book?
It's not often I want to make every single project in a book. I even want to make the baby projects, and last time I checked I didn't have any kids. But which project to make first?
Hmmm.
Or ...
(He he - anyone else remember Hobbytex?)
Ok. I've decided.
To be continued ...
Oh I was thinking of buying that - it looks fabulous! now I just need to find good fabric.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I was thinking of buying it too. You're photos made it look so tempting. I have so many OS crafters books. I really should support local as well. Although honestly I just need to actually use the books I have instead of collecting more!
ReplyDeleteMine has just arrived too! And you're right - where to start is the hard part - the book is terrific.
ReplyDeleteBugger, forgot to look at it last night. Hopefully I will get to look at it next time we are at your place...
ReplyDeletehobbytex and iced vovos? Definitely my kind of book ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy mum wouldn't let us use her Hobbytex, they seem a bit like a lost art form now!!
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a perfectly wonderful book. I hope it is available in the States soon!!
ReplyDeleteIt does look good, can't wait till you show more.
