This book has some strange crafts? But it also has some pretty cool ones (I like the matchstick cross). And it's funny to boot.

It was a funny read with nice pictures but I was disappointed with the lack of actual projects with instructions and recepies. Maybe I'm missing the point, but I would have appreciated patterns for some of the projects pictured. It is a fun and sarcastic look back at my childhood though.

Listen, I love this book. Love it. I am a child of the sixties, and I grew up with many of the crafts she demonstrates and gently pokes fun at. I mean, I can remember pop cans being turned into wind chimes, pipe cleaner art, pom pom art...I can even recall my (by then) senile grandma gluing glitter to anything and everything she could get her hands on. My own pride and joy was a bullfighting mosaic I fashioned out of corn and dried beans. It was a simpler time...it was fun...but visiting it through Amy's tongue and cheek book is a blast. The pictures are great; the humor jumps out at you off every page. Enjoy.

I love Amy Sedaris, I think she's talented and hilarious. I have her other book "I Like You", and I enjoyed that so much I ended up buying another copy for a friend. I've been looking forward to getting this book as well, and I finally have.
I like the layout, and the photography, but like other reviews have said there isn't much in the way of actual crafting projects. I think the purpose of this book is more inspirational, look what I can do with stuff, what can you do? over a guide of craft projects. Amy is funny in her descriptions, and some of her craft ideas are pretty cute/hilarious, but if you are a serious crafter looking for new crafting ideas this might not be the book for you.
This book isn't what I expected, but I'm not disappointed, if you are an Amy Sedaris fan it's worth picking up.
