Have you seen the book, "Zakka Style: 24 Projects Stitched with Ease to Give, Use, & Enjoy"? I just got my copy in the mail and I am truly in love with this craft book. It's compiled by Rashida Coleman-Hale and boy did she do a great job. Never mind that I got to be a part of it ~ yep, I've got a project in it (thanks so much, Rashida!) ~ I would've wanted this book anyway. Zakka which translates from Japanese to "many things" or "sundries" is a style I particularly love. When I hear the word I think: simple, charming, handmade... and that's what's in this book.
My contribution was this cute little cookie sack...
See it on the back cover!
This book is chock-full of simple and sweet zakka projects and what's really cool is that many are made by my friends ~ like this bread basket made by Rachel Roxburgh...
Perfection. I so want to make one of those. Actually I want to make one of everything in the book! And I've already got started...
See the page below... it's like the cutest bookmark ever, designed by Kat Mew, and it charmed me to pieces. So I just had to make one!
And I'm happy to give it away to one of you, along with a copy of this awesome book.
