Martha Monday--sewing crafts and chickens

Last week, Martha introduced her 71st craft book, Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts. 

First of all, 71 craft books?!? Holy cow. That is amazing!

Secondly, I need to suggest this book to the Big Guy for a Mother's Day gift, being as I recently birthed our second child and all. 

Third, just looking at the preview of the book on Martha's website and blog are getting me excited to break out my own sewing machine, which hasn't seen the light of day in years.  That, my dear readers, is a good thing. 

In other Martha news, she recently posted this video on her blog, and my Little Guy cannot get enough of it.  She is demonstrating how to put a chicken to sleep...sleep as in a snooze, not as in beheading, so the video is just fine for the kids. Enjoy!
