Stylist mentioned Handmade in their March books roundup.
This also has a lovely quote: ‘A beautifully packaged book about one woman’s plan to build a mini-cabin using a chainsaw. Celebrating the importance and impact of making lasting things with your hands, it’s a delightful read that makes for a perfect present’.
Congratulations Siri!
