Crafty Peanuts books

Upcoming releases

A couple of craft-ish new books popped up on the horizon. Coming next June is a revised and expanded edition of Peanuts Cross-Stitch; where the old one had 16 patterns, this one comes with a whopping 24. At least, I assume that’s whopping. I don’t really spend time with craft books. I am reasonable sure that it is a larger number than the smaller number it had earlier.

But if you need something before June, in January comes Brain Games – Sticker By Number: Snoopy, which has sheets of outlines with designated areas to put the stickers that you find on other sheets. And on the back of the book, they even let you know how many of these images are in the book!

More than 8! Olay, that could be any number. Well, not 7 or 4, I suppose. But it could be 137. In fact, I’m betting it is!

As long as I’m posting anyway: I now have the inside scoop on this year’s Hallmark adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas, and it is indeed a reduced version of the big book from recent years, rather than a substantially new adaptation. But I’ll be buying it anyway, for collecting is obsessing.
