28)Toffee Pieces.
, and it’s the perfect book to dive into at exactly this time of year when spring is just about to start springing and we’re all starting to really enjoy all the little things that make spending time in nature so special.. She sent me an advance copy of the book so I could give you all a little sneak peek and share it with you if I liked it, which of course I did!I really love how Crafting With Nature is sort of half garden book and half crafting book.
She talks about different easy ways to grow your own crafting supplies, and what to make with the things you’ve grown, but there are also sections about gathering things from nature and even the grocery store for making your nature-inspired crafts!I love any book, blog, or other publication, where I can read it and learn something that I can put to use immediately!.Along with the book, Amy sent me some extra little goodies to get me started on some of the projects like some fabric scraps, some beet seeds, and some dried lavender.
I can’t wait to spend a nice sunny few hours out on the deck playing around with some of these projects during naptime!.Some of the projects that stood out to me as things that I definitely want to try are the Spiced Chai Sugar Hand Scrub, The DIY Coconut Oil (seriously!
), and the Frozen Rosemary, Cranberry, and Beet Juice Christmas Wreath.
And then there are like a million more too.A hammer, tape measure, screw drivers, and wrenches, gardening gloves, a little shovel and some pruners, seeds and fertilizer, and some tie-downs for when we’re taking yard waste to the recycling center.. As I recover more and more useful tools from the garage, I have room for them on my little stand!
It’s a silly little thing, but it makes me happy.. Well, yes, it probably would make me even happier if I just cleaned out the garage.I’m hoping to get started on that one too a bit this month.
I should be all done sometime around July of 2017.Stay tuned for that exciting update!.
