This compilation of material that originally appeared in other books published under the "Country Living" banner contains basic information on making soap, candles, picture frames, pillows, wreaths, and scrapbooks, as well as a variety of projects. It's a diverse group of crafts; some sections are more thorough than others. Each part contains a brief overview of basic techniques plus numerous projects with step-by-step directions. Crafters looking for extensive detail or advanced techniques should turn elsewhere, but this is an excellent choice for small collections—the information is accurate and useful, and the projects are appealing.
