ABJJ and PAVEMENT BLOCKS, et al

 

I have decided to join in on the latest

"Junk Journal July" 

(featured by "Meg Journals"

 on You Tube)

using

Meg's prompts each day.

 

[above is her prompt list I am looking 

over in the 1950's photo of me--

with my newly 

permed hair and my green and white

beloved dressy dress:))) ]

{ABJJ= Altered Book Junk Journal}

I will not be doing a full-page spread

for each prompt, but rather

 just a small element 

for each one.  

Here are the first three 

all on the left hand side of my page:

↧↧↧↧

Bottom left girl is No. 1-

directly above is No. 2 : the 

lovely flowers, and 

No. 3 which is "negative space"...is

the girl with her shadow...

(you can enlarge photos if you want

a closer view).

BTW I had to look up

"negative space"...;)))

I drew and water colored my 

"Moon Phase Goddesses" when

I prepped my pages a while ago...

And.....

I am also journaling a bit for each addition.

**********************************

Here is my Pavement Blocks flimsy

which i finished sewing together this morning...

I am thinking that I want some kind

of border around them....

AND

Here are the 3 sandwiched and layered

pieces waiting for me to get PB 

ready for quilting along with

them...

Blue charms (R), Scrappy Log Cabin (M),

and the older Christmas runner (L)

that's been on hold for ages:

Here is the reverse side

of that Christmas piece--

You everyday followers may recall that

I made 4 of these and gifted 3--

**********************

It is a very humid and hot "in between"

long weekend day before the 4th

tomorrow...

We are having grilled hot dogs with

onions and the works and 

I made German Potato Salad for

our side...

So far we have been in the (blessed!) AC

and plan to stay in for the better part

of today.

I hope you are enjoying your long weekend

Hugs, Julierose,

FRIDAY FLOWERS, et al

 

My belated birthday present

from Jeff, Lin, and

the girls--

isn't it just gorgeous?

I thought it was a mini petunia--

but, as you can see, it

 is a 

"Calibrachoa".

It requires full sun for at least

6 hours a day and plenty

of water;

but no dead-heading is

necessary!!

Here is the tag in my

Altered Book Junk Journal

I drew at little mushroom for company

and then added some cut out mag pieces...

I put the care tag on this page

so I can remember what it is...

Here is a close up of these lovely blooms.

***************************

In other sewing news..

I have finished my 12 

scrappy Log Cabins:

They are just put up on the

order I finished them--

willy-nilly--; 

and

most likely I will want

 to re-arrange them...

*******************

Here are the Pavement blocks

I've finished so far:

↶↶↶↶

I am liking that "spark"

of yellow in there so far...

I cut more yellow, darker pink,

and green blocks and

triangle corners this

morning. 

These will be my

weekend sewing...

***********************

Tonight our dinner will be my

Chicken and Rice casserole

which is all prepared and ready

to go into the oven at 4 pm for a 

5:30-ish meal...

YAY

No 4'oclock prep!!

😇

I wish you a happy weekend 

from under

our partly cloudy skies

and growing humidity...

Hugs, Julierose,
