Maura Madden

Maura Madden occasionally does crafternoons at the New York Public Library.Dozens of strangers decoupaging or making valentines together. The idea behind this book came from her own monthly crafternoons with family and friends. This book gives you ideas about setting up your own craft group. The book is divided into months. Each month has 1-3 crafts with instructions. These are very basic crafts, easily done by someone without crafting skills. (except the knitting chapter) Recipes for show more munchies are included. So, basically, this book gives you an excuse to get together with friends and family, eat and learn a craft skill. I'm passing this on to my sister, who is way more artsy crafty than I am. ( but I'm photocopying the recipes first -- they look good) show less
