This week’s book is…
There are 29 different project ideas in this book, so I’m just gonna share a sampling of my favorites with you. I don’t want to post pictures because then you could copy the pattern from my picture, and all that which I’m not gonna try to promote. (Even though you know I’ve totally done it before myself. For shame! ; ) Just take a look at the images customers have shared on the amazon page so I can keep a clear conscience.
My favorites are the…
Felt Forest Critters – little owl and raccoon stuffies (Too Cute!)
Bohemian Tunic – She adds a fun edging around a store bought top (I’ve always loved those.)
Spring Step Shoes – Embroidered Converses. Nuf said.
Wooden Pin Cushion – A little wood-grained “stump” with handmade leaf and ladybug pins
Night Sky Bookmarks – clouds and stars stitched on paper bookmarks
and
Sweet Dreams Baby Pillow – A curled up sleeping bunny surrounded by stars and vines (Adorable.)
I’m giving this book ☆☆☆stars. You should definitely check it out either at your library or local bookshop. I’m holding back the 3rd star because I’m the type who just wants to see the embroidery patterns. Although some of the projects are cute, if I did use one of the patterns, it probably wouldn’t be in the suggested way anyhow, so you might as well squish as many of those cute little pictures into one book as possible. From what I”ve read, that is essentially what the second book is all about, so I’m positive I’ll love that one too. (Please return it person at my library!)
The author also has a website and blog that you might want to check out.

Happy Reading!
I like this. I used to do cross-stitch and a little embroidery – that was my "gateway" craft, ha ha! Then I stopped when the kids came along. I miss it.
