Whole lot of inspiration

Amazon only ships book and DVDs to Israel, so the items on my wish list are only those. Books and DVDs to inspire, enrich, teach, to remind me there's still so much to learn.. and make me better in 2007. Better then 2006, hopefully.

  Sew U: The Built by Wendy Guide to Making Your Own Wardrobe  Price: $17.15

I knit, but I haven't sewn in a very long time. I found a bunch of clothes in the back of my closet whch I don't wear anymore, and hopefully this book will inspire me to recycle them

Craftivity: 40 Projects for the DIY Lifestyle  Price: $13.57

While recycling clothes, why not check if any of them can be recycled into something for the house?

Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip - Book One  $13.57
 

I think Tove Jansson was one of the best illustrators and storytellers ever. This would be a great book to go through when I need some inspiration.  

The Artful Dodger: Images and Reflections $28.40

Nick Bantock is just as talented, but in a completely different way. Diversity is good.  

The Muppet Show - Season One (Special Edition)  $34.99
 

a third genius, Jim Henson. I wanted to try to make puppets this year, and who better to learn from then the master himself.

Stupid Sock Creatures: Making Quirky, Lovable Figures from Cast-off Socks $10.36

This looks like it could be helpful too, puppet-wise. 

Cool Kids' Rooms  $11.53

All those puppets can't live in just any plain room 

Open House for Butterflies $11.66

For when I just want to be a kid again

The Best of Business Card Design 6 (Best of Business Card Design (Paperback)) $16.50

For when I realize you have to be a grownup 

SPECK: A Curious Collection of Uncommon Things $19.00

For when I get confused 

Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook $12.23

For when the only way to go is to laugh it all away

Wookiee Cookies: A Star Wars Cookbook  $10.85 

That one's pretty self explanatory :) 

Total:  199.81$. How's that for making the most of your budget? ;)
