Some great books

I am not one of those people who can't pass up a great shoe buy and I could care less about designer clothes (Hello! I live on Maui) but I do have a slight book "problem". Yes I love books. I check out tons from the library and I think I must be a highly regarding customer at Amazon.

So here are some of my recent favorites:

1. After a long wait I just got Felting Fashion in the mail. Lizzie Houghton is a fabulous felt artist and I can't wait to try creating some felted apparel.



2.Silk Unraveled had mixed reviews on Amazon but I took a chance on it and I am so glad I did. The projects are really beautiful and fairly easy to do. I am taking on a duvet for my bed from ideas in this book.









3.In an effort to be a more hands-on mom, I am trying to make my own bread. However, the thought of hours of kneading, rising,etc did not appeal to me. This book is awesome. With their basic recipe you can have your batch of dough available anytime to make a delicious loaf.

My family gives the bread and pizza dough I made 6 thumbs up.

4. So onward with the homemade theme I have just begun reading Made From Scratch which is a great account of how the author, Jenna Woglarich, went from cubicle-working, convenience food eating American to a small time farmer on her rented property, raising chickens, honey bees, and veggies while still keeping a full-time job. Very interesting so far.
