Not For The Easily Offended



This book is possibly one of the best books i've bought in a long time, offensive crafts, does it get better then that. I've always been a fan of cross stitch and anything that can make something a little more fun is worth the time. 

The book is full of great one liners, pretty flowers and hearts. It also has an A to Z in cross stitch in the back so your able to come up with your own great inventions. The one above is one I copied out of the book, but since messing about with the different patterns and letters. I'm starting to make my own individual ones, I think there great to frame and dot around your room. 

Sorry this post is a bit random, but I think its great to include some different things on blogs that are not just fashion or make up related. 

What quirky crafts have you gotten into recently?

XOXO

    That books is amazing. I need this in my life! Your example is so neat although I'm pretty sure if I had a go, it would be a complete mess.
