My new book of inspiration!

A few weeks ago, when I made the decision to spend more time doing crafty stuff, I went on a mission to Waterstones to go and buy some crafty project books. I was amazed at how many there where and how many seperate areas of expertise there are!

If I had to buy one of each of the books that intrigued me, I would have been bankrupt on the spot... not a good way to start off I think ;-).

So when I saw this book, it was the ideal alternative.


Martha Stewart - Encyclopedia of Crafts

It gives you an overview of a whole bunch of crafts (30 to be exact), from candlemaking, all the way to wirework and wreaths. It gives you the all the fundamental techniques, the basic supplies you'll need and a couple of little projects for each. It doesn't go into too much detail, but that's ok if you only want to try out these techniques to find out which ones you would like to persue more in depth.

I will be showing you the first projects that I attempt from this book soon... but first I have to order all the "basic supplies" that I'll need. Somehow I think that bankrupt status might just be lurking in the shadows... so much to buy, so little money ;-).
