Chook n Boo Mum Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 It's ok, want to borrow it? I wasn't terribly impressed if I remember correctly, I'll go & have a look & see why...... Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 A lend would be great! Thanks Sha! I have read a few reviews online and the general feeling is "ok but not great" I do love her stuff and the book is marketed as showing how to make a bit of everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I looked at it in Waterstones last week, and wasn't impressed, well not least not enough to buy it. It is a pretty book though and comes with a free tote bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I got mine from the bookpeople for about £5-7. I wouldn't have paid full price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 I see what you mean....I had a flick through in waterstones and it is not at all what i was expecting Sha....if you don`t mind popping it in the post to me I would still like to borrow as there were a couple of bits that took my fancy but as A chickychickychick-ENN!! says I wouldn`t pay full price for it. I will return it to you with postage cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yolky Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 They should have called the book 'embelish' as it was all about decorating things that you already had rather than making things. I bought it on pre-order from WHSmith and took it back the day after it arrived. I was really looking forward to it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egzandra Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 My son works in a bookshop and bought it for me for Mother's Day! He probably chose it from what was available in the shop - they don't have a great selection of craft books. However, this book has pride of place as it's a gift from him - but next time he looks as if he is thinking of buying me a book, I will direct him to my wishlist on Amazon for inspiration!

Chook n Boo Mum Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Sometimes the mantra "it's the thought that counts" over-rides any previous feelings about the book/gift doesn't it Egzandra - and the book is lovely...lots of lovely bright pictures....lovely Cath Kidston style prints....just not named correctly as Yolky has said, "Embellish" would be much more appropriate !!! I wouldn't have paid full price for it either, I bought it through the Book People! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
