I wanted to share some of the projects in Felting for Baby from Make Good Books. They sent me this book and Carefree Clothes for Girls to preview; both make me wish I had girls or a baby to make something for. The Make Good Book series are Japanese craft books, but in English (the English part really helps).
Sweet gingerbread puppets!
Isn't this the cutest teddy bear?
This felt mat reminded me of the ones Di makes.
Tomorrow I will try to post some projects from Carefree Clothes for Girls. Each book has complete instructions in the back...in English - oh, I mentioned that already.
Thank you Shambhala Publications for letting me preview these books!
For those of you who still read this blog, I am giving both books away. Leave a comment and I will pick a winner for each book Friday.
That elf hat is too cute!!

Okay, those puppets just killed me. dead.
I still read but have been sort of self-involved and bad on commenting lately. I hope the whole Kindergarten transition is going well.
:)

I'm really interested in the teddy bear. What a great update/rehashed method of creating a classic toy.

Too cute! I have a baby boy who needs some felt booties to warm his toes this winter!

This book looks awesome! It makes me so happy that more Japanese craft books are being translated into English. :)
Hey how is school going? How are you doing?

That's cool they asked you to preview them. They both look great, but I'm hoping for the one about girls' clothes.

Oh I have just stumbled across your blog...it is lovely. And just in time for a giveaway, how serendipitous! That elf hat is too cute. Do you think that 33 is too old to get away with wearing one?

These books look awesome! I would love to try some of these projects -- especially with all the baby showers I've been invited to lately. Thanks for this giveaway.
