Great online craft books

One of my favourite Wellington stores 'Minerva' is now online!



From their website....

"Unique in New Zealand, Minerva is a dedicated textile bookshop and gallery and offers the widest and most diverse selection of textile and handcraft books in the country. A purpose-built exhibition space hosts stunning exhibitions of quilts and textiles, while a selection of hand dyed threads, handcrafted gifts and beautiful cards completes the shopping experience.

Named after the Roman goddess of wisdom and handcrafts, Minerva is a bright cheerful shop. With friendly and knowledgeable staff led by Anne Scott (founder and Editor of New Zealand Quilter magazine), Minerva stocks an astonishing variety of books and magazines specially imported from around the world.

With around 4000 titles in store at any time, Minerva’s stock includes books on textiles, fashion, craft, quilting, embroidery, surface design, knitting, crochet, felting, weaving, spinning, collage arts, interior design. And if we don’t have the title you want in stock, we are happy to try to source this for you from our extensive network of international suppliers."

400 titles!!!!! it is just as well I don't live in Wellyland anymore but dangerous that they have over 900 books online. These are a few I am coveting....















Check them out you won't be disappointed.

Craft 2.0

Hooray for me....

I have a stall at Craft 2.0 in April!!! For those who have not heard of it.......

Craft 2.0 is a cult Wellington craft fair for style junkies, craft enthusiasts and all fans of handmade. A favourite on the Wellington arts calendar; Craft 2.0 runs four times a year at TheNewDowse, attracting a wide following of quality stall holders and eager shoppers alike.

I am very excited but have no idea how much stuff to make and what if nobody buys anything (eeek!)
