Sweet projects for crafters to create for their babies and young children.

Good explanation of techniques and unique projects designed by the author are included.

I borrowed this book from the local public library.

I really want to try felting (sans knitting). This book makes it seem doable. I really like the pictures of the process, and there are some nice projects too. I live every book I've seen in this series so far (Make Good: Craft + Life).

I loved the projects, but I thought that I would use ready-made felt, not have to make my own.
