A beautiful collection! I don't know how useful it'll be in terms of a guide, but as an inspirational source it's terrific. It isn't quite the time for me to start these projects now, but I'm very excited to start in the future. The paper crafts are very beautiful, and I must have that sewing basket!

Most of these crafts can be done around the house with everyday materials. I'm going to try pressing flowers this year and see if they come out ok. I want to use them as part of a decoupage project on a side table I have.

I like this type of book, a bit of history and a big variety of craft and needlework projects.
