chic craft for the holidays
This has to be one of the most beautful craft ideas books I have ever seen.Mary Norden has a very contemporary eye for detail, there is a touch of Martha Stewartness about the presentation but without any fussiness (Nordern suggests tapered candles in a galvanised bucket, but she never suggests you make the candles yourself!) A glorious indulgence - you know what I mean, the sort of bed you can ...

Not your grandmother's needlepoint
This book brings the beauty of the various international fabrics to your needlepoint canvas. It's not your grandmother's needlepoint - no cats or flowers, just bold and exciting designs with great color graphs and ideas. I highly recommend this book - I even ordered a copy for my sister although it was out-of-print.

Great ideas for your home and special occassions
This book is a little gem! It's full of great, simple, low-cost ideas that are still stylish and sophisticated.
