it's my party and i'll craft if i want to...

yesterday i was lucky enough to have a 'milestone' birthday, as Di puts it. over coffee and cake, i received some nice pressies from family who obviously know me quite well! when i got to the crafty books that Manz gave me, it was all i could do not to plonk the sewing machine on the table and start on a cute new project.

after everyone left, i had a good browse and picked something to make. i remembered a little stash of Japanese craft scraps that Di had got me once, and realised they were perfect for Zakka Style. that's the beauty of this book, most things can be made from scraps and i intend to do some thrifty recycling for the rest. stay tuned for some "cute useful things" made from this book.

what better way could there be to while away a rainy birthday afternoon?
