Crafting a Meaningful Home
In Weekend Handmade, author Kelly Wilkinson encourages readers to celebrate the joy of crafting, both for the satisfaction of making something by hand, and because the finished items serve as reminders of time taken to slow down and create â no matter the day of the week.
Â
The book is organized into three sections: Make offers projects to wear or decorate with; Grow presents projects inspired by gardens, fields, and farmerâs markets; and Gather spotlights projects that enrich casual get-togethers.
Â
With clear, step-by-step instructions, every project in Weekend Handmade âfrom aprons, tablecloths, and marmalade to a memory box and a chandelierâcan be completed in a few hours or over the course of a weekend.
Praise for Weekend Handmade:
âKelly Wilkinson always felt like her crafty side was at odds with her job as a journalist, but now she has a book that incorporates both. Weekend Handmade provides instructions for quirky crafts that virtually anyone can do. All these crafts have a quirky feelâthink hipster Martha Stewartâand theyâre pretty simple, too.â
