I'm in the Handmade Living Book!

Its like Christmas came early! I could hardly contain myself in the past few days as I have received the first copies of Handmade Living but could not tell everyone yet...but it has finally launched last Saturday at the Handmade Markets here in Canberra!


I'm so excited about this book as one of my crafts (the spotty card) was accepted to be part of it! - I'm on page 129. I know it's only a little picture but it feels like the start of a real crafty adventure for me! The book's pretty awesome, with lots of sections so there's bound to be something for everyone - from knitting, to baking, to sewing and even making your own spa soaks and masques!

I thought I'd share this here too...books will be available at Shop Handmade in the City and then in bookstores after that (There's a few launch events too - please see below, and hope to see you there).

 

about handmade living.

 

handmade living. is a gorgeous new concept book that will showcase a collection of designers who specialise in the unique and timeless quality and style of handmade products.

 

handmade living. is not about elaborate, complicated or exclusive design. Its essence is centered in whimsy, simplicity and style, and its greatest gift will be in the inspiration to create.

handmade living. has the following sections: nest(crafts for the home), cloth(crafts to sew), closet(craft to wear), adorn(pretty craft), little(craft for the little ones), paper (paper craft), indulge (culinary and spa craft) etc.
