My hot-off-the-press copy of The Crafter's Companion arrived yesterday! I had pre-ordered it as a birthday present to myself a few weeks ago and was eagerly awaiting it's appearance in my mailbox. And it's as wonderful as I knew it would be. Beautiful photos, fun projects, and lots of familiar names from the crafty blog community—Amy Karol (Angry Chicken), Heidi Kenney (My Paper Crane), Hillary Lang (Wee Wonderfuls) and Sarah Neuburger (The Small Object) to name just a few (there are 17 in all). I flipped though it quickly to look at the pictures - what can I say, I'm a visual person. But, I can't wait to sit down and read every word. I love to read about what inspires other artists, don't you?

I received my copy the other day and immediately sat down to read it. I agree, I adore discovering what inspires others to create their fabulous things.
I've decided to splash out on a copy of this- I need some cheering up and buying a book like this feeds the 'need to be indulgent' whilst still seeming practical.
