This was a fun book to read. The photography was gorgeous. The ideas were interesting but complex. I may some day attempt to do one of these but most of the projects looked too complicated for me. The crazy quilting itself is not hard, but the stitching looks complicated and time-consuming. I am definitely glad I have this book and will refer to it again, especially for embroidery advice.


Energy: Use Less-Save More: 100 Energy-Saving Tips for the Home (The Chelsea Green Guides)

This pamphlet is very basic--so basic that only a few people would be interested in it. It is also barely a book--more like a pamphlet.

I used this cookbook all of the time as a kid. The best recipes in there are for pancakes and waffles. There are many other great recipes for ice cream, using apples and pies. This is one of my top two cookbook recommendations.

This is not my review but is added so that more info is available about this book.

The year is 1868, and fourteen-year-old Alika and his younger brother, Sulu, are hunting for seals on an ice floe attached to their island in the Arctic. Suddenly the ice starts to shake, and they hear a loud crack--the terrible sound of the floe breaking free from land. The boys watch with horror as the dark expanse of water between the ice and the shore rapidly widens, and they start drifting south--away from their home, their family, and everything they've ever known.

Throughout their six-month-long journey down the Greenland Strait, the brothers face bitter cold, starvation, and most frightening of all, vicious polar bears. But they still remain hopeful that one day they'll be rescued.

This thrilling new adventure story from bestselling author Theodore Taylor is a moving testament to the bond between brothers--and to the strength of the human spirit.
