About this title

Review

'Bursting with simple home decor ideas for the nursery and styling ideas for parties, this handy guide includes a range of crafts such as paper cutting and crochet.' 

(Baby London)

"Welcome new babies to the world with one or more of the delightful crafts in this lovely book of ideas for celebrating the new arrival. Suitable for all skill levels, there are projects for announcing the pregnancy and birth, making decorations for the baby shower and decorations for the nursery. There are sweet ways to keep baby cosy with knitted booties, a crochet blanket or a beautiful patchworked quilt, and babies will love to watch the stars and clouds paper mobile, play with the star wand rattle or build with the fabric blocks. Then when in the blink of an eye that first birthday rolls around, there are easy to follow patterns for a first birthday crown, a pretty ruffle party skirt, hand stamped leggings or cute harem pants. A lovely book for Mums to be, Grandmothers or Aunties, anyone who enjoys getting creative."

(All That Women Want)

Lots of beautiful images draw the reader in, and numbered, hand-painted watercolour illustrations help us create."
