序
Preface

生活不太完美，创意很杂乱，小孩有时很吵……但我很快乐。

当创作人做了妈妈之后，生活似乎都一样——忙碌着琐碎的杂务、深爱着自己的小孩、三更半夜才开始找回自我……有时也有点不一样——领养异国小孩、意外的单亲、天生的特殊……也许，这就是真实的生活吧，平淡、不太满足、酸甜苦辣。

来自世界各地的16位创作人，在书中唠叨着、叙述着、回味着她们关于小孩与手作的故事。有梦想、有童真的灵感、有亲手做的温暖小物，还有启发小孩的手工创作游戏。

热爱手工、心爱小孩，淡淡的、日复一日的，来自内心的喜悦。

“Lives are not that perfect,ideas have come and gone,children are noisy...yet,I am happy.”

When the artists become mothers of boys and girls,they are living the lives alike：be busy with work or housework,madly love their children,and find themselves back in the midnight through doing craftworks...Somehow,they are so different：dopt the kids from other country,be a single mom,cultivate imperfect child?Perhaps,this is the real life： Normal,dissatisfied,filling with good and bad.

In this book there are 16 craft artists from different corners of the world telling stories about their children and crafts. Their stories are all about dreams,inspirations from children,and the crafts for children's pleasure and enlightenment.

Enjoy craft creating and loving children,keep the joy in heart,naturally,day to day.
