Hey!
We have many of the same books. I have never seen Mary Englebreit's Stitched Sew Cute -- even though I am a huge fan! Must look for it!
I love your blog. It is really entertaining. I have subscribed and I will be visiting often!
Have a wonderful day! (well, evening...)
wow. I met my match here on craft books. :) I have many of these but you win! You have more. ha ahaha 100 flowers to knit and crochet and 100 blocks to crochet...got lots of those kinds of books. Quilting books up the wazoo, also. Linda
You've inspired me to count my craft books and see how many I've actually used! hahahaha
I'm in Chippenham, CAMBS...small world!
THanks for stopping by hungry hippie :o)

I'm having mixed feelings....
I love that you have counted your books and that you are tracking which ones you actually use....I'm tempted to do the same, but entirely too afraid to count and then track how many I (don't) use.
What the heck! Maybe it will convince me to pass some along!
Thank you for the gentle nudge
I only have one book of crochet and one of knit and their are about stiches not pattern ! Lucky you !
Why don't you do a giveaway ? For the books you don't use...
Have a nice weekend.
Hug
Anna
We own 6 of the same crafting books (3.75%)!!!=)
Oh my, you have a serious book addiction. I can recommend making a Tomte, from the Scandinavian Stitches book, they are easy....and very cute!
