Have you ever heard of her? She is Finnish (can also be Norwegian or Danish, lol) and has the most lovely craft books in the world! I have one of her books and absolutely adore it! I am making one of the items in that book, so....if you want a cute fun craft book, check her out!!

I have her 'Sew Pretty' book. I love it. There are a lot of great ideas in there. One of these days I am going to get around to making some of the lovely bags that she has in the book, along with a few of her stuffies. They are so cute!

I have looked at those books on Amazon and wondered if they had great things inside...you can't always tell from the cover. Glad to know you all recommend them....I will have to put them on my wish list!

Beverly, they are surely worth the money! I have only read good wonderful reviews on ALL her books. I am looking into the other ones too, lol. Maybe ask them as a birthday present. Takes a few months, but gives me something to look forward too, lol.
I have almost finished my first project. I made a doll for the doll swap YAY! She is SO pretty, lol. YES will post pictures, either here or on my blog :)

The bags are cute too, and the muffins are adorable! I need more material, haha
