Mother‘s Day free books haul!
We were on our way to my mom‘s and a neighbor had things out in their driveway with a “Free” sign. I spotted stacks of books and immediately pulled in. 😅 There was a good selection but either they weren‘t for me or I already had them. But these three! The tagged has been on my wishlist for a bit. I love that there are post-it bookmarks left in by the previous owner. I can spy what crafts caught their interest. 🤣
Day #3 for #HaikuADay
A tribute to my morning at the monthly makers market by my house & my bounty of treasures pictured above.
Saturday market,
Warm breezes, lots to look at
Artisan treasures
2/5⭐ Very bloated, repetitive, surface-level text. Appropriates things like chakras, spirit animals, and mojo bags. Cites freaking Silver RavenWolf. Pretends to be general witchcraft when it's clearly Wicca. The projects are mostly very basic. I like the idea of incorporating witchcraft into fibercraft, but this book didn't inspire me or give me any ideas I couldn't figure out on my own with just a moment's thought.
Wanna rent school play sets? Or do you need nice ornaments for your house, or pillows for snuggling??

This book is exactly what it says it is: techniques, patterns, and samplers for blackwork embroidery. Unfortunately, it doesn‘t have any information about doing blackwork on clothing (as it historically was), which is what I really want to do. But I suppose I can practice on Aida and figure out the rest myself.
Good read about how to bookbinding by hand!
Quick and informative book on embroidery, including a wide variety of historical styles. There didn‘t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to the different styles described (one of the contributors‘ bios has a lot about her being a sashiko expert but there‘s no sashiko?) and I think many of them could have used more description, but I really liked being introduced to some styles I‘d never heard of. With modifications, I may try some of the projects.
