We have just returned from a fabulous family holiday to Shanghai, Peoples Republic of China which is why things have been a bit quiet around here lately! We have returned refreshed with plenty of ideas and inspiration. We have a few Valentines inspired projects that we will be sharing over the next week.
With many local book stores closing, more and more people are now purchasing their books online. I don’t know about you, but I am hesitant about buying craft books that I haven’t been able to flick through or seen reviewed. I like to make sure that there is enough in the book to interest me or teach me a new skill, and a number of projects that I would be inspired to make.With that in mind, we are going to post regular book reviews here to keep you up to date with the latest publications relating to sewing, craft and baking. Thanks to the lovely folk at Capricorn Link, we have a number of new releases to share with you over the next few weeks. Please note that we are not paid to write the reviews but we do receive a review copy of the book.
Overall, if you enjoy making small gift items out of felt, then you will no doubt find some modern and colourful projects in the book to interest and inspire.

the bears are adorable!
This looks like a fun book. I enjoy working with felt once in awhile! Have a felt project in the hand work basket right now, as a matter of fact.
J’adore !
I’m in the process of making my daughter a cutie crown & hope to post it soon 🙂
I am just like you, I want to be able to flip through books. The closest I come to doing that on the internet is when Amazon allows you to see a few pages from certain books.
Those Woodland Bears are so cute.
Welcome home Lisa and Sarah, I just love those bears.
I agree, Lisa. Now that we have moved to the city we get to browse books at QBD or Dymocks, and just yesterday I flicked through a crafting book I had considered purchasing online only to discover it wasn’t at all as good as I had imagined by the title. Lesson learned!
I spent a good 20 minutes browsing through the other craft books and came home with one I was happy to purchase.
