This is compilation of crafty projects pulled from the blogosphere, including several that this veteran crafter had not seen before.  I'd say about half of the projects do require some basic sewing skills (and a sewing machine would be really helpful) but there are plenty that just require glue or perhaps 1 specialized item such as etching cream. Project sampling: pillow with pockets (remote holder), cake stand, earring holder using vintage frame and lace, and felt food for the kiddos.  I really love the idea for the "Art of the Month" club: create a plaque with clips on the bottom, accompanied by a certificate entitling the grandparents to one year subscription for a monthly masterpiece.  There are also recipes for homemade vanilla extract, bread, cinnamon roasted nuts, and flavored hot cocoa mix.  While all these ideas can be found online, it's really convenient to have them pulled together in this ebook (another plus: clickable links to each of the referenced blogs, so if I really like a particular project, it's easy to go check out what other ideas that particular blogger has shared)
