4 out of 5 stars Great!   December 17, 2008

This book has a lot of fun and easy projects that don't take a lot of time, which as we all know, moms don't have a lot of. My favorite is the mohawk hat. It is really easy to read and follow directions as well. Great overall- price too!

(Insert Man's voice) I just looked thru the book and have come to the conclusion that men can use it as well! How grand is that? In behalf of all men with time, kids or a stick of glue, thank you Crafty Mama!

I am so excited to have this book finally. It is great for both the advanced and novice crafter. The fleece projects are worlds of fun, especially if sewing isn't your strong suit,the one adopted for the Boppy pillow is cute and great for young hands, the Insta-Bib clip is clever, cute and simple. The projects are really various and a little something for everyone. Also, something I loved in this book were the resources in the front to connect with other crafty moms. I was feeling a little isolated when I picked up this book and now Abby Pecoriello has provided not only fun projects, but places to meet other parents to make them with! Brilliant!

This book is fabulous! Whether you're super crafty, or just so-so, everyone will love this book. Each activity is rated according to the cost, the time, the skill, and "how ga-ga they'll go." It's very cute and helpful to new mothers who prioritize everything! There is quite a range of craft ideas and each one is super-cute. I highly recommend Crafty Mama.
