Every clever idea comes from the wildly imaginative minds of crafting duo, Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza, hosts of DIY Network’s Creative Juice. The book features projects from bohemian beaded rings and rocker t-shirts to soy candles and spicy tea soaps, and Cathie and Steve have provided plenty of photos and illustrations, along with “insider tips” to teach crafters the tricks of the trade. Create velvet and leather belts and bracelets, candleholders out of pipe parts, bath time puppets for kids. Creative Juice offers everything you need to get the creative juices flowing.

Customer Review: Great Book for Recycled Crafts!
I LOVE the Creative Juice show so I picked up this book and I really liked it. I am working on the bottlecap jewelry! 
Customer Review: Creative Juice Offers Great Ideas for the Beginner and Veteran Crafter
I am truly a fan of the Creative Juice TV Show and am just wowed over by the book. The pictures are fantastic and the instructions are clear enough for the beginner. The way Cathie and Steve take objects and recraft them into pieces of art, play, etc. amazes me, a veteran crafter. I love the chapters with kids ideas and easy to make jewelery. I will put them to use very soon as my grand daughters are coming to spend some of the summer with me. I have downloaded directions to many of the Creative Juice projects and now it is so great to have great color photos of the how-to’s. Anyone who likes to craft or wants to begin to craft needs to buy this book!!!!!!
Mrs.Beeton’s Book of Household Management (Oxford World’s Classics)
Mrs Beeton was the Delia Smith of her day. Vastly popular in its time, her great Book of Household Management is scarcely read nowadays in its original form (no offence, Delia). This is a pity, since as a result a distorted picture of the author and her work persists, as an oppressive Victorian materfamilias with a decidedly bossy attitude and a tendency to boil vegetables to a grey pulp. The truth, as Nicola Humble demonstrates in her abridgement of the work for the Oxford press, is quite different. Isabella Beeton was in many ways an unusual person. One of 21 children, she lived for part of her childhood in the grandstand at Epsom racecourse, married Sam Beeton, an ambitious young publisher, worked hard as a journalist and translator, and died of puerperal fever (not, sadly, such an unusual fate in her time) at the age of 28. The Book of Household Management grew out of her own sense, as a new bride, of the lack of such a work of instruction and guidance for young women faced with the daunting business of running a home. It is largely a compilation rather than an original work. Its originality lies in its organisation and purpose; its quality arises from the clarity and decisiveness of Beeton’s writing. Behind the period details, there is a wealth of common sense.
Nicola Humble provides a scholarly introduction and notes. Gesturing towards academic fashions, she describes the many facets of the book in terms of modes of discourse–which is perhaps a highfalutin way of pointing out the remarkable range of subject matter and the variety of Beeton’s sources. The notes entertainingly combine theoretical commentary with often deadpan remarks on the recipes (”Rock biscuits: so-called for their appearance, not their texture”). The recipes themselves are the principal victims of the abridgement, for Nicola Humble’s main aim is to present the book as a kind of exhaustive self-portrait of the expanding and aspirational Victorian middle classes. The representative selection that remains, however, are enough to make this a welcome reissue of a fascinating and important book. –Robin Davidson

Customer Review: Mrs.Beeton’s Book of Household Management
This is NOT a cookbook for today’s kitchen!! Do you know anyone who cooks over an open fire…….I THINK not!! This is a history book - a snapshot of a byegone era……nonetheless interesting and engaging. I would not use this book to search for a recipe but for a glimpse into Edwardian life it is absolutley fascinating. Worth buying if you have a ponchant for English modern history OR are doing a course on it…or just a general interest. A ‘nice’ to have book if you are ‘proud’ to be ‘English’ and of our history.
Customer Review: not just a cook book
if you are looking for a cookbook then this is probably not the book for you as many of the recipes wouldnt suit todays palate. but this book is great not just as a insight into victorian attitudes but practices and available foodstuffs equipment etc i couldnt put it down, better than any novel ive read recently

The modern reef aquarium tends to utilize a more natural form of filtration to maintain the best water quality. This is typically a combination of live sand and live rock from the ocean. Unfortunately, real live rock is quite expensive, $5 to $10 per pound, and the recommended about is about two pounds per gallon of aquarium. This can easily cost hundreds of dollars. In addition, harvesting real live rock can do damage to out precious coral reefs. 
Meditation Tools Water is intended to work as a meditation tool kit to relax and sharpen the mind. It opens promisingly with a view of secluded land from a barge, punctuated with the quote: “All memories and expectation exist now… because now is all there is, and only now.” Perspective shifts from what looks like a barge journey through a river, to gushing water, rain falling on water, hazy images gradually becoming focused and the reflections of trees in water.
