I was browsing a magazine that I read weekly for the buzz in the book industry and came across this article that talked about a genre of books that is bucking the ecomonic trend- craft books. Seems like us crafty folks know that mantra of "I can make that" instead of always buying it. Please don't get me wrong, it is really troubling to hear about folks loosing their jobs and the economic crisis that we are in, but darn it sometimes I think we do just need to keep our consumerism in check as a society.
I for one was happy to read this article that continues to breath air on the burning desire for people to DIY. So in light of the article, and a current obsession (remember my warnings of my obsessions that come and go) here is a really lovely sewing book that I loved browsing this morning. It is called Home Sewn and has all of the natural and lovely ideas of stuff to sew for your home.
Here is the obsession- there were these amazing dandelion embroidered linen napkins- oh I am in-love with dandelions right now! Soon their sweet little yellow heads will be popping up all over my yard and at The Womb Room!
Here is to finding some dandelions this spring and wishing for some change for our economy-
