I love crafts any time of year, but the Fall and Winter are my favourite seasons for getting crafty. From knitting to photography to homemade Christmas gifts, there is something comforting about staying cozy and warm with a great activity.
I was sent these fantastic books from DK Canada from their Craft Boutique and I am in love!
I have spent hours reading over each title and planning what projects I am going to take on and learning so many new things. As a mom taking photographs of my children is really important and I pride myself on taking the time to get some great shots. This section of Tom Ang’s “How to Photograph Absolutely Everything” on Child Portraits shows me that one of the best techniques is to keep your distance and tell your kids what you are trying to achieve in the photo. I would definitely say I am guilty of not doing either of those!
I learned to knit when I was in high school and have made tons of fun projects since then, but I am often stuck on how to do a certain stitch or need help with a pattern and I’m not always sure who to turn to. Since getting this book I have all of those tips and tricks at the ready. A perfect gift for the beginning or experienced knitter.
With so many fantastic craft books to choose from you are sure to find some for yourself or a friend. Great books, great prices and fun crafty ideas.

Well written instructional books have great value! Awesome post!
I know many people that get crafty during the cold months, and what they come with are great creations..
I was never a crafty person and always envied those who were until I realized I have other strengths. Fortunately, there are enough people in my family who were blessed with the “craft” gene!
I love doing crafts, especially with my 5 year old son. I need to learn how to crochet! looks likes load of fun!

I used to be able to crochet. I haven’t in many years
I was always a crafty kid. I grew up on the country side and I always found thing to be creative with.
I love crafts as well. We do a lot of them here in our house. My son age 9 still loves it when Mom gets out her craft boxes and says Lets Have A Craft Party!!
My daughter would love these! We have tired many craft projects together over the years!
You almost make me want to craft again. I was, however, the queen of unfinished products and the owner of every craft book.. so I this was interesting to me.
These are really great craft books, Really nice designs
Those look like some great books. I have very fond memories of doing arts and crafts as a child:)
Look like some interesting craft books. I enjoy crafting myself. =)
I missed the crafty gene, but these look like some great books.
