I must admit that I’ve wanted this book for a while: Martha Stewart’s Encyclopedia of Crafts. I’ve seen it a few times in passing and refrained from buying it. But while on {another} date with my husband to the book store recently, I gave in. Usually for book reviews on this blog I have read through the entire book. Honestly, I haven’t read this whole thing–it’s huge, over 400 pages. But since purchasing it, I have flipped through it many times, always giddy with excitement.
If Martha Stewart is going to do something, you know that she is going to do it well. And this book is no exception. For example, the entire book is organized in alphabetical order. Want to see half a dozen amazing wreaths? You know where to look. Interested in candlemaking? It’s in there too, under the letter “c.” Also, it includes Martha’s signature step-by-step instructions. And the photographs are gorgeous. They make me want to try everything. Really. It’s truly a delightful book and a great resource to have on hand. I know that I’ll be turning to it time and time again. I would definitely recommend this book.

I love the idea for the crayons! I think you are AMAZING!!! LOVE IT…… LOVE IT……. LOVE IT !!!!!
P.S. were can I find the amazing tree stand you used in the Barbi party? I must have one please!
I have been doing the same thing with this book, admiring it from afar so that I don’t buy it, in hopes it will eventually come to me. Thanks to your review, I will have to take matters into my own hands.
I’m so glad you have this book, finally, Brittany! I purchased this book as soon as it came out. I flipped through the entire book one evening and put sticky notes on all the pages that I had to re-visit! I knew I would love it…..it’s Martha Stewart….H-E-L-L-O! My copy sits proudly in my sewing room, in my bookcase filled with other wonderful sewing books, quilting books, magazines, etc. Where do you keep your book? Oh, BTW, I also have Martha’s Homekeeping Handbook in my laundry room. I just love Martha…..
