Arranged by season, 60 easy but impressive projects provide wonderful ideas for gift-giving and home decorating throughout the year. Spring is the time to make violet jelly, or a bride's book of flowers, or a dollhouse garden. In summer create bath bags and oils and baby baskets. Fall projects include peach bread, vegetable strings, and scented potholders, and for winter there are corn-shuck dolls, wreaths, and miniature terrariums. A special chapter tells how to plant a "useful" crafts garden. Each project is so well-illustrated and clearly described that even a novice will be rewarded with lovely results. And more experienced crafters will benefit from the author's sensible advice and helpful shortcuts.

A Country Garden by Gwen Lutz Pdf

This book is not intended to be a manual. There are a lot of how-to books readily available if one needs a reference book. Rather this is a journey through the garden and beyond. It is full of tips and advice for green and low maintenance gardening, landscaping and lawn care but it is mostly a journal of life in and around the garden; past, long past and present. It was written to tell the story of not only the authors life in and around the garden but that of the garden, the wildlife that shares it and the land itself.

Sustainable Crafts, Gifts and Projects for All Seasons by Becci Coombes Pdf

Take advantage of nature’s bounty and craft in time with the seasons! Whether potting up dandelion honey, cooking and crafting with rose petals or preserving autumn leaves and acorns, there are so many wonderful gifts, ornaments and treats that can be made from either a short walk in the woods or a rummage in your cupboard. With an emphasis on foraging and upcycling, Becci explores the ways we can create beautiful projects using materials readily available in the garden and home. Upcycled projects include gorgeous home textiles woven from bed linen, mini lampshade fairy lights for a summer’s evening and even a fabulous picnic table from an old suitcase. Capture the breeze of autumn with wind chimes made from old necklaces and cutlery and learn how to felt old sweaters, turning them into cosy wreaths, brooches and purses for winter. There is also a section on working with willow, with projects encompassing everything from woven bird-feeders (with home-made fat balls!) to festive ornaments.
