			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was so excited when the mailman finally brought me Kayte Terry&#8217;s new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Embellishing-Techniques-Kayte-Terry/dp/1580114016/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1218737597&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Complete Embellishing</a>. You might know Kayte from her blog, <a href="http://thisisloveforever.com/blog/" target="_blank">Love Forever</a>, or her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=73526" target="_blank">etsy shop</a>,  or remember that she was the very excellent stylist for Adorn (and before that, was a visual merchandiser for <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/index.jsp" target="_blank">Anthropologie</a>).  So what I&#8217;m saying is, the girl&#8217;s got taste. Her new book is a veritable encyclopedia of embellishing techniques perfect to use for making your wardrobe fun again.</p>
<p><a href="http://None"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-509" src="http://lindamade.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/kbook1.jpg" alt="" width="324" height="432" /></a></p>
<p>What I love the most about the projects in this book is that they are totally doable. Each is simple and adorable, and won&#8217;t break the bank. Plus, you can try out lots of different crafts all under one cover&#8211;Kayte has how to photographs and illustrations for every technique, from crochet and ribbon embroidery to potato stamping and ruffle-making, so there&#8217;s no reason not to jump right in and learn something new. The book is spiral bound, which makes it easy to lay open next to your project&#8211;score!  Here are two of my favorite projects:</p>
<p><strong>The Deco Sweater</strong>&#8211;who knew bias tape could be so fun?</p>
<p><a href="http://None"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-511" src="http://lindamade.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/kbook3.jpg" alt="" width="324" height="432" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Bits and Pieces Scarf</strong>&#8211;I definitely have some doilies that need to be refashioned into this!</p>
<p><a href="http://lindamade.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/kbook2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-510" src="http://lindamade.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/kbook2.jpg" alt="" width="324" height="432" /></a></p>
<p>Check out more pictures of the projects via Diane over at <a href="http://www.craftypod.com/?p=528">Craftypod</a> or use the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Embellishing-Techniques-Kayte-Terry/dp/1580114016/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1218738344&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">search inside feature at Amazon</a>. This book is chock full of projects inside that are certain to inspire you. There are even a bunch of fun home ideas that would also make perfect gifts, like tea towels, embroidered napkins, lampshades and more.  This book is definitely a worthy addition to your craft library for both the visual inspiration and the clear how tos.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the best part: <strong>Kayte is giving away one copy of the book to a lucky Lindamade reader!</strong> Just leave a comment on this post by next Monday at 12 midnight mountain time (that&#8217;s 2 am EST or 11 pm PST) and I&#8217;ll randomly pick the winner. Good luck!</p>
