Popular illustrator Mary Engelbreit celebrates the early flowers as they peek through the frozen earth and the birds as they begin building their nests. Full-color art and photographs, recipes, projects, and ideas all welcome the spring with typical, nostalgic Engelbreit style.
Mary Engelbreit’s Spring by Charlotte Lyons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
For a good share of my life, I have read craft books. I am always intrigued by the ideas people share, and I like to be able to do the crafts and/or be inspired to do something different. As I am not a natural crafter by any means, I appreciate books with step-by-step instructions and nice pictures. And thankfully, one of these was included in this book.
As I leafed through this beautiful book, I was inspired by the pictures that were posted. All the projects revolved around spring–which was nice in the middle of the cold, grey winter. There was a little bit written about each project, and they were organized well within the book. My only complaint is that there was very little listed about how to make these projects. I am one who prefers instructions that have more detail. I realize this would have made the book much bigger, but it is a personal preference of mine. However, for the crafty person, this may be exactly what is called for.
