CICO Books publish the most beautiful craft books I’ve ever read. Books not just for the craft room or bookshelf, but books you enjoy on your coffee table too. This book has over 35 projects to make as gifts for any occasion. Pretty, nostalgic crafts like egg covers, tea cozies, and dolls. There are also pincushions, pillows, trays, and Valentine’s Day cookies. This is a sweet book to savor slowly. I loved the teacup candle and beaded flowers. Most projects take a few hours and you really do end up with a gift item you can be proud to give. A variety of techniques and media are used so this is a well-rounded general craft book with hand sewing, painting, stenciling, and a little baking too. How fun! I wanted to invite my friends over for an afternoon of crafting and inspiration. Woram fueled this book with love and it was a joy to read.
