Review

"What a great idea! I am looking forward to this one, especially since I probably read some of the bloggers you've got in the book. I just grin when I think about this book :) Can't wait to see it! Excellent! Looks great. Will certainly run and buy it asap when it is released. Oh! I can't wait until it comes out. From the sneak peeks and some idea of who the contributors are, it is going to be a huge hit. yum! i put it on my list! "Amazing idea! I really think it will be a best seller. How many times do we wander in the bookstores searching for such kind of light?" --comment on crafting blog twelve22.org.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, useful, 26 Dec 2006

By	M. Allcock "mystic flower" (Oxfordshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I loved the style of this book - a collaboration of different crafters describing why they craft, their inspirations and work space. Looking at their creations and workspaces gave me lots of ideas, and some of the projects look really fun, like making a fabric basket to put things in, or a needle case. Unfortunately, there was a lack of projects in comparison to the written sections, and some of these are disappointing. For example, there were instructions for market bags and library totes, which are very similar patterns and abundant online anyway. If you're looking for a book of interesting, original patterns, you might want to look somewhere else. However the book is worth it just for its exciting photography and interesting tips.

5.0 out of 5 stars most inspirational craft book, 24 Mar 2007

By	Susan Hawkins "http://suzanararama.etsy.com" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is one of the best craft books I've seen recently, most promise much but don't deliver. This book contains a peek into the world of online crafty bloggers who talk about their crafting lives, their studios and early childhood experiences of crafting. Makes for excellent reading! Then on top of that and the beautiful pictures there are lovely projects to make yourself. What bliss, then when you have devoured the book follow the links to read more online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational!, 2 Dec 2006

By	Sarah Cooper (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a beautiful book, guaranteed to inspire. Each contributor writes a chapter about their influences, inspirations, work-spaces and materials and gives instructions for a project. This book is a sumptuous, rewarding read in itself, but it also gives you the individual crafter's blog addresses which lead on to other inspirational sites. If you are interested in making at all, get this book, it's fantastic!
