Craft book month @ Craft Buds

This month is Craft Book month at Craft Buds and there has already been a blog hop where numerous bloggers have shared a project from their favourite craft book.
 
A book which I have been using quite a lot this year has been the Zakka Style book, which is a compilation of varied craft projects. There is a wonderful variety of projects in this book, ranging from fairly easy to quite difficult so there is really something for everyone.
One of my favourites was the Delightful linen bag designed by Mette Robl and I chose to use some of the new Umbrella Prints "Elephants Love Water" fabrics for my bag, along with some matching aqua linen.. 
I participated in the Zakka-style sew-along where each week one of the 24 projects was featured and only managed to get about half of the 24 projects done, but I would love to go back sometime and do the ones I have missed.
