I just ordered Mindful Thoughts for Makers by Ellie Beck from my favorite online book shop Book Depository. I have always been a fan of Beck's slow and sustainable lifestyle process and I'm glad she wrote this sweet, little gem of a book. Making and crafting is not just about the finished product. The process of involving your heart, mind and hand (soul included) is what makes the handmade experience sublime and spiritual.

Here are some more Mindful Thoughts books in the series. Choose your affinity and let's make life more mindful whatever situation and circumstance we are in.

And oh, August is winding down. Can't wait for September!
