BLOOMING, et al

 

The beginning....of my
amaryllis story....

and overnight ...this...aaaahhh

and almost there.....ooohhh...

And today--ta dah....
fully opened...


There are two more buds to 
open on this stalk--
and another stalk has emerged..
Just so lovely....💚💗

***********************
And speaking of blooming...

here is the next panel in
my "Sentimental Scroll" basted 
but not
as yet embellished...

The large tulip upholstery fabric is a piece leftover
from my Mom's pillows 
which resided in 
 our living room when
I was growing up...

************************
The other part of that fabric 
I used to make the soft
spine on my new Paper Journal to 
be used for "Caroline on the Hillside's "
52 weekly prompts for 2026:

This will be my paper crafting 
Junque Journal;

below is a shot of that 
soft spine

I love how it looks and feels....
;)))))

an here below--
are the six paper signatures
I sewed into it...
↧↧↧
Each one has 5  different 
papers folded in half in it.


I am storing it on my shelf unit
right above my little crafting desk...
along with my hand sewing
necessities....
↡↡↡↡
It sits right next to my Trader Joes Pita 
Crackers Box Junque Journal that I work in
on an (almost) daily basis...I have one
more signature to fill in this 2nd 
Pita Box Journal--I began it in 2023
and i have saved 3 more boxes 
to continue these daily volumes...
***************************
That is how I am set up for 2026
so far...for hand sewing and 
paper crafting...

I hope you are all enjoying this little 
vacation time before the Monday work week
comes around...for those of you
still working out there...;)))

Hugs, Julierose
