SynopsisArranged 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., This text shows how to make gifts from one's own garden. Arranged seasonally, the 60 projects are described with colour photographs and step-by-step instructions. Basic techniques are provided and advice on how to plant a craft garden is included. There is also a list of sources.
