I would love the chance to win please. My recommendation is The Cuter book by Aranzi Aronzo.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cuter-Book-Aranzi-Aronzo/dp/1934287822/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318247537&sr=8-1
Thank you for the chance to win. Sue x
Oooooh I would love that book! I've really enjoyed the C.R.A.F.T blog (http://www.creatingreallyawesomefreethings.com) recently. Lots of inspiration and great freebies!
http://www.searchpress.com/info.asp?EAN=9781844486854&page=search& steampunk softies. its so much fun. not for everyone i suppose but great none the less.
my favourite "crafty" book at the moment is 1000 things to make and do by Usborne. Although this is really a children's book. As I turn over the pages I find myself ooing at the ideas and thinking how I could make them a bit more adult although some of them are fab as they are!
Love the look of this book, so please count me in for a chance to win. xx
My fav blog at the moment has to be Annaboos House: http://annabooshouse.blogspot.com/
Lots of colourful photos, funny writing and funky tutorials. Fab.
Thanks Jumbleberries xx

Thank you for the chance to win. I love working with felt so my book recommendation is Felt Friends from Japan http://www.amazon.co.uk/Felt-Friends-Japan-Super-Cute-Accessaries/dp/4770031416/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318248374&sr=1-1 It is full of cute designs which I have used for various craft projects.
My Twitter name is CheshireCrafter
I want to say Super Cute Felt, as that's really my fave, so this one is next in line. The Hana Hood brooch is a winner. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Felt-Friends-Japan-Super-Cute-Accessaries/dp/4770031416/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318248921&sr=1-6

I would lvoe to win.
My latest craft read is Classic Collection by Sasha Kagan. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Classic-Collection-Sasha-Kagan/dp/1861088450/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318248952&sr=8-1
I had one of her books in the 1980s and it was lovely to read this and see how her designs (from 1970s to now) are so gorgoues and suitable for today. Lovely book.

Can I tell you about one I haven't read yet but muchly want to? 55 Christmas Balls to Knit (book) looks great! I love scandinavian knitting patterns & these ones wouldn't take too long to finish!
Ooh would love it please!!
I'm into A Beautiful Mess, which is a blog about nearly everything, recipes, making cute things! MY ultimate fave is making my own tea bags which I'm thinking of doing with my daughter :)
http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/
I've not bought a crafty book ever since! Hope this helps :)
Oooh, lovely book!
My fave read at the moment is Mollie Makes (after finally getting my hands on a copy - bliss!). I also really love the book 'the homemade home' by Sania Pell - I am working my way through making everything in it!
Thank you!

My favouritist book at the minute is The Quilter's Bible by Linda Clements- I paid a whopping £20 for it but it is half that on Amazon. It has absolutely everything and anything you need to know about patchwork, quilting and applique and loads of techniques I hadn't even heard of- it's brilliant for beginners and beyond.
Well, the book I'd recommend is not released yet, but will be tomorrow. Why I know I will enjoy? Because it's written by Joel from http://madebyjoel.blogspot.com/, who is just plain old awesome. His book is called Made to play. Here is a link to the American Amazonpage
http://www.amazon.com/Made-Play-Handmade-Growing-Imaginations/dp/159030912X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318252661&sr=8-1
Thanks for a chance to win this book...

Looks like a great book. My recommendation would be Fa La La La Felt - well, it is almost the season...
Stash Happy: Felt is by the same author so I know it's going to be good!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fa-Felt-Amanda-Carestio/dp/1600596150/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318252753&sr=1-1

I've recently been given http://www.amazon.co.uk/Felt-Friends-Japan-Super-Cute-Accessaries/dp/4770031416/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318248374&sr=1-1 and I hope to get stuck in when I get the time!
I'm BooTeeq on Twitter (and etsy!)
Я очень люблю твой блог!!!
Как только увидела работы из фетра, стала последователем!
Очень нравятся твои фетровые броши!!!!И маленькие кружочки на фотографии)))

Betz White's Warm Fuzzies is a great book. As for magazines I LOVE Country Living and look forward to hem every month!

I would absoluetely love that book! :)
My recommendation is:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Viking-Patterns-Knitting-Inspiration-Projects/dp/157076137X/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp
I love, want and NEED this book!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ami-Dogs-More-Seriously-Crochet/dp/0062067249/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318256019&sr=8-1
I would love a book with some new felty-crafty ideas! I'll give a shout out of "It's all Fiddle Fart" blog (www.itsallfiddlefart.blogspot.com) I've gotten some great ideas for papercrafting, including using paper punches and craft paper to make my jewelry tags. Cute and inexpensive -- two of my favorite things!
Hello,
Hope you are feeling a bit better now. That book looks so fun.
A blog I really like is http://www.needlenthread.com/ It has loads of sewing tips!
Rach
Please let me have it!! My birthday is on 15Oct!! Make me a happy birthday girl! Hee.. v(^-^)v
I've only recently discovered crafting using felt and am really loving the material! I would love to have my first book of patterns and inspiration to learn more ways to craft with felt.
I live in Holland and the blog I would like to share is actually the one that made me discover you! It's in Dutch, but the concept is that they just link to lots of crafting tutorials all over the internet on many many blogs. It's a great way to find out what's out there, what appeals to you and what is possible with crafting. It is what got me into crafting with felt and a place where I can always find new inspiration! http://www.freubelweb.nl
My top blog at the moment (I like to keep Hilary on her toes) is http://www.ukcraftblog.com/ - there have been some really useful posts about facebook changes recently, vital for those of us who sell our crafts.
I have some fab Japanese craft books but I've no idea what they are called!
So... I recommend Zakka Sewing by Therese Laskey + Chika Mori
Cheers, Leigh
"Sew pretty, Christmas homestyle" is my favourite read of the moment. It is a beautiful book with lovely photos and illustrations. It has kick started my brain into Christmas mode!
I will recommend something different! A magazine! My cousin sent me a week ago two issuea of Mollie Makes magazine! and omg it has so indpiring photos! I am full of inspiration thanks to it - we don't have magazines like that here.. so it was even more inspiring to see photos like this in a !!real!! magazine! not in a network book! :)
marysza.com
I hope things are going better for you and that you are getting settled.
I would love the opporunity to win this book. Right now my fave book is Scandinavian Needlecraft by Clare Youngs and Mollie Makes magazine (took me forever to find a copy locally)!
Thnak you andtake care of yourself!
Oh, thanks - I'd love a chance to win!
My book recommendation is 'cute and easy crochet' by Nicki Trent!

I have just been given "Little Birds: 26 Handmade Projects to Sew, Stitch, Quilt & Love" as a present and I still haven't decided which one to start with, they are all soo pretty! Thanks for the give away, I hope you're holding up OK.
I'm in love with the new Design*Sponge book out. It has some great DIY and craft projects and is just a load of inspiration for my home. I really really want to win this giveaway..I'm doing so much with felt lately..This would be perfect!
I've been drooling over 'Print and Pattern 2' which has amazing prints and designs from designers, including some who sell on etsy and elsewhere.
Highly recommended : )
I would love to win this book : )
Hope you are keeping well xx
I adore felt!!! Madly I want the book!

Oh, how exciting... I have lots of felt from your lovely shop to work through. My current crafty inspiration has been the Geek Crafts blog, http://geekcrafts.com/ so full of inspiring and geeky objects.
@mammydalby
I've been reading the Gentle Art of Quilting
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gentle-Art-Quilt-Making-Jane-Brocket/dp/1843405334
well, by reading I mean drooling over the gorgeous fabrics and planning my next make. I'd recommend having a browse of it if you get the opportunity :)
I have been loving the fall knit scene magazine lately. The winter issue will be out in a few weeks and I'm looking forward to that, too!
Hi, My favourite "crafy" book at the moment is "Knitting Around"
http://www.amazon.com/Knitting-Around-Elizabeth-Zimmermann/dp/0942018036/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318271449&sr=8-1-spell

lovely giveaway! im love brett baras new book sewing in a straight line..the projects in it are so wonderful and easy! raineoc@yahoo.com
At the moment I'm enjoying reading 'Fresh Quilting' by Malka Dubrawsky - fabulous use of colour!
Thanks for the giveaway! I've only recently been introduced to the wonderful world of felt and would love to have some projects!
I'm quickly realizing that I love almost everything by Martha Stewart. I feel like she's really coming back into style.
I have to say, that whale plushie on the back of the book has me sold!
I have to say one of my favourite websites for craft tutorials/shop has to be purlbee:
http://www.purlbee.com/
I've done their cirtus/apple costers and rose barrettes! Plus they have a shop with some very interesting kits/supplies (Glow in the dark thread!? YES!)
My latest enjoyable read came from Bugs and Fishes last guest post - crafter-oo - loved it!
It's definitely turning to the weather for felt and I reckon the projects in Stash Happy Felt might be just right for winter projects!
Fun! Love your work and I'm sure I'll love the book as well :-) I've been sewing a lot lately and I'm enjoying Stitched In Color, Noodlehead and Make It Perfect Blogs.
My fav blog (& has been for over a year now) is Jane's... Spain Daily - an Aussie living in Spain who takes the most delish photos of her time there! Love it!
Thanks for the chance to win...need some new felt inspiration!!! ;)
Homegrown Hospitality at http://homegrownhospitality.typepad.com/homegrown_hospitality/ has been my favorite blog for a while now.
Hi, my favourite blog at the moment is Annaboos House. she is so clever. My favourite craft hook is one my Huffle bought me for my birthday and was recommended by another blogger, Crochet Unravelled: A Clear and Concise Guide to Learning Crochet [Illustrated] [Paperback] . Its very good if you are learning how to crochet.

I love the cozy on the cover! Great colours and repetition. As the autumn colours are coming, I'm thinking sweaters. After buying a bunch and felting them, I decided to take out all my books that had felted things in them. It's nice to relook at a book to see what is "new" to you in your ever growing tastes and abilities.
This book... this book would suit me just fine.
thanks for sharing.
recently I entered www.cutoutandkeep.net
it is nice website with tons of how-tos..
