You may have noticed that I have posted up some links to books in the sidebar. I wanted to let you see what books I reference for patterns or inspiration, and using a link to Amazon seemed to be the easiest way to do it.

I do have a lot of crafting books, as well as reading books (and now a pile of Kindle books too!), so I will add to the list as time allows.

Of course, many of the books I link to come from our library, so please remember to check yours out! I have found it very helpful to be able to see what you're getting before deciding to actually buy, as some books are very disappointing in content.

Hello

I know I haven't been here again for a while - much sewing/tidying/cursing in the workroom, together with child wrangling going on in the background. Plus, I'm so tired I can barely move some days. Ah, the joys of being a Mummy. (Not).

Anyway, I have (surprisingly) had some time to beetle about on the computer, and thought you might like to share in a few delights I have found recently.

Feeling the pinch? Need crafty Christmas ideas? Then looky here (thank you Rhonda at Down to Earth for the links):
