As you can tell from my title, I love this book. As a first time, mother-to-be, I wanted to create little treasures for my newborn daughter. Most craftbooks out there were too general but this book was specified in projects to give to babies. The book is wonderfully divided into sections for projects of all occasions: Bathtime, meals, keepsakes. I also love the overall layout and photos. It's such a beautiful book. Even if I don't get around to making alot of projects in the book, it's simply a beautiful book to browse throught. The author also list the difficultly and the time needed for each project. That helps alot in my deciding if I'm going to tackle a project. An added bonus is the patterns that's include in the back of the book. They are so helpful and handle.
I love this book!

As you can tell from the title of my review, I'm very satisfied with my copy. It's a beautiful book with wonderful layouts and photos. As a first time mother-to-be and I wanted to make some projects for my expectant daugther. This book offers me 33 wonderful and darling projects. Granted I'm not going to do half of them, I still enjoyed skimming through the pages and looking at the designs. I love how the author has divided the projects into easy to view sections. ie: Mealtime, Bathtime, clothing, etc. I also love how the author listed the degree of difficulty and the time needed for each project. Now I can just tackle the project that I feel I'm capable of. Another added bonus are the patterns that come with the book inserted in the back pocket of the book. Overall, this book is a must-have. :)
