Summer Reading: Crafty Chloe

Remember my big stack of Summer Reading? Well, here's my latest review.

As soon as I heard that Heather Ross, one of my all-time favorite fabric designers, was illustrating a children's book about crafting, no less, I got very excited!  I am so pleased to report that Crafty Chloe lives up to my expectations.  I read it to my campers and they related to the story and wanted to get a closer look at the illustrations.

Filled with touches of humor, such as covering a baby brother in googly eyes, the book is really about the power of making gifts with your own hands.  As a crafter, I take great joy in making for others and I know that those who receive my little gifts know they are from the heart.  Ah....so nice.

Also, Chloe has her very own web page filled with project ideas.

I do believe I am living with my very own Crafty Chloe!
