## Description

A Year of Makingis a craft and DIY decorating book featuring 40 seasonal projects to bring modern cottage charm into your home. Brooke Styles – popular Queensland-based DIYer and self-confessed homemaker – draws inspiration from Beatrix Potter with a fresh, contemporary twist. In her debut book, she helps readers build a ‘DIY treasure chest’, covering the basics of upcycling and making before guiding you through a year of creative projects. Organised by season, the book offers everything from quick crafts to larger-scale DIYs, including a beaded beach bag for summer, a pear-shaped beanbag for autumn, her much-loved café dining nook for winter, and a greenhouse for spring. With projects ranging from beginner-friendly to more challenging, each chapter includes big statement pieces, smaller DIYs, and textile projects – ensuring something for every maker. Passionate about reviving heritage crafts and reimagining them for modern homes, Brooke makes creating feel accessible, rewarding, and most importantly – fun. With A Year of Making, you’ll discover 40 projects that celebrate the seasons through décor and fashion accessories, helping you embrace modern cottage living in your own unique way.
