I have read Cherry's blog for a while now and have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book, had to read it today in one sitting and feel so inspired and excited to try out new recipes and crafts, I was worried there might be alot of duplication from the blog but that's not the case. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

You will not be disappointed. Lovely written introductions to each section. The book is split into projects for the seasons, special occasions and events. Something for each time of year that anyone can achieve. Good instructions and templates for all of the crafts, makes and bakes. It has something for everyone. If like me you like to bake and sew and all sorts in between this is the book for you. It has not disappointed on the amount of projects either in view of the fact it covers so may skills and crafts there is a good proportion of each. There are some good solid skills to be learnt that will be useful in so many other projects. A book that will take you through the year in craft! It is a must buy!

I love this book.
I've been a fan of Cherry's blog for around 18 months and have eagerly anticipated her first book (so perhaps my review will be a little biased!): I think `The Handmade Home' is just as lovely as her website.
As you'd expect, there are pages of glossy, richly coloured photographs and the step by step instructions are well written and easy to understand. But what you might not expect is the amount of book that you get for your money!! Cherry was clearly thrilled to be making this book and her sheer excitement is evident in the fact that she has put so much into it. The Handmade Home is literally jam packed (see what I did there) with advice, ideas and projects:
The crafts and recipes are separated into twelve inventive chapters including `Valentine's Day', `A Summer Fete' and `Evenings Around the TV' and most can be made with items that the average crafter/cook will already have in their home. There's something for everyone, from oversized props for a children's party to simple cookies that can be baked on a whim.
The book's layout is simple, tasteful and it works. The writing is easy and friendly and never patronising. The ideas are `do-able', worthwhile and inventive. As you read this book, you'll wonder why you don't make things more often, have friends round more often, get involved more often.
All in all I'd say this is one of the most accessible lifestyle books I have seen in a long time and well worth having on your book shelf.

Style over substance
I found this book to be a real case for style over substance, nice ideas perhaps for table settings and decor but nothing inspirational that I immediately wanted to make/create. Read more
