Amanda Blake Soule Book Signing August 23, 2009

Mother, author, and craft blogger Amanda Blake Soule will be signing copies of her latest book, Handmade Home.

Parents and crafters alike faithfully follow Amanda on her critically acclaimed blog www.SouleMama.com. Her previous book, The Creative Family: How to Encourage Imagination and Nurture Family Connections, showed parents how to have fun with their kids through creating unique works of art to display, share, or give.

Now the inventive, resourceful author and her three young children (make that four!) star again in Handmade Home, a book of projects using materials found around the house. The beautiful color photographs and easy-to-follow instructions that made The Creative Family so popular are also included here. Inside you’ll find ideas for creating charming bags, rugs, a family art table runner, a silky eye pillow, a baby sling, and more. Amanda includes tips on repurposing fabrics and finding vintage and thrifted materials to use. The book also features pattern templates and other resources.

In Handmade Home, you’ll find dozens of creative ideas to make your living space cozier, stitch by stitch.

Amanda Blake Soule is the author of The Creative Family, and creator of the popular blog www.SouleMama.com. Amanda spends her days with her four young children—making things, thrifting, exploring and being inspired by their coastal Maine surroundings. Learn more about her at www.amandasoule.com.
