Mr Thornberry gave me a beautiful assortment of craft books.  It was pretty easily done, since I ordered the books from Amazon when the Aussie and US dollars became almost par, and when they arrived I left them in his office with instructions to wrap them for Christmas.  Here are a few of them.

I plan to do a pattern drafting course one day, but hope that this book will be incredibly useful in the meantime.

So far I’ve only flicked through this one, but can already tell that it will be extremely useful. I’m planning on working through it properly like a series of classes.

Oh wow, the skirts in this book! They are astounding! Wearable art, and so effective. I’ve seen a few variations on Another Day in Paradise, and am so glad that I took her lead and bought a copy of this marvellous book.

I’ll be back later with some crochet books to show you!
