Review by Twinsie Dee<\/p>\n

i bought this book and this is my honest review<\/p>\n

When crafting meet murder it had me wondering. fifteen short stories about different crafting technique, and a project to go with each story, but they do come with a twist. learn about paper making, gourd art, mosaics, candle making and one with adding scents, you’ll find a project with a fancy name like okesa, and making potpourri, wreaths, a memory collage and going back to summer camp with macaroni art. this was a different read for me but not terrible some stories make you chuckle.<\/p>\n

In my life BG (Before Gourds)I wrote seven mystery novels and edited six anthologies as Marilyn Wallace. I’ve been a high school English teacher, a potter, a pastry chef, and a computer programmer, and now those experiences are fair game for my fiction.<\/p>\n

After living in upstate NY and in northern CA, my husband and I have returned to our roots in Brooklyn, NY, where our two grown sons also live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
