Remember the free form
stitchery I worked on?
Well, it has become the cover
for a Traveler's Notebook
Junk Journal for January.
I sewed in the signature this morning
It is sporting my new word
on the cover--
[a ceramic piece I've
had for a very long time...]
"B E L I E V E"
*********************
And here are two other Junk Journals
with their signatures
sewn in:
These have cardstock covers sewn with
fabric to strengthen them...
↓↓↓↓
I used Tim Holtz cardstock
and sewed fabric for the spine and
borders strips...
Here is the center spread
where I used pages from
an old gardening book..
This will be the Spring-Summer
volume for 2023
and
here is another one
made in the same way...
Again I used up Tim Holtz
scraps leftover from my
scrapbooking days...
These will be memory journals
using some old photos
that are now stored in a
shoebox--😕
now they will have a proper place...
***********************
I have also picked up my knitting needles
to make a little gift for my DIL
A bright tangerine facecloth...
[aka a dishcloth]
I love using these in the shower--
they are softer than a loofah
but still help to smooth the skin..
I am working on this while watching tv
to help to stay calm during this
hectic and, for me, kind of
sad time...missing my
family who have gone on
before me....
*******************
B U T
I am
so looking forward to our trip
[my first long one since the
back debacle!!]
up to my son's home on
Saturday to meet up with
my daughter and her family also.
All of us together on
Christmas Eve...
I just hope the weather holds...😔
fingers crossed...
I hope you are enjoying this pre-Holiday
few days and are able to find
some quiet time to enjoy
your crafts...
Hugs, Julierose,
La Blageuse
