PITA BOX JUNQUE JOURNAL--WELCOME AUGUST, et al

 

I am continuing on with my "Pita Box Junque Journaling"...

I had prepared quite a few pages ahead
so now all
I have to do is 
 add my journaling..,

This Journal is a combo of magazine
images and various papers and
stampings..
The small pix of the girl on the right
is a flip card with a journaling
spot on the back--
I love making those..
💜💛💜

********************************
FYI: for those of you who have kindly
sent us your best wishes to us-- 
on our various med issues... 

We are coming along pretty well.
Tom goes to his post op appointment
tomorrow [I will be driving as he cannot
as yet turn his neck to the left far
enough to be safe driving...]
And
my issue with thrush seem to be 
getting better after taking a second
dose of meds this week...
P H E W ...
All of July has been quite the
journey for us....
😷😷
Looking forward to a hopefully
issue-free August...
***************************
Meanwhile....
I have been reading blogs and
following my Youtubers while
recuperating....

When I began feeling a bit better
began to cut 1.5" strips
for some proposed 
"Lego" works....

Not sure as yet what I will make, but
I am cutting all my usable scraps 
and leftover bindings...

Just cutting a bit at a time as
standing for long times 
is an issue for me these days...

I am using a combination of my die cutter
and rotary cutting  
for the special smaller pieces.
 If I don't want any waste and to use
all of a favorite fabric that I can,
I find that rotary works better...
I am fussy cutting images also...

Here is the start of my collection 
below overflowing from a baggie
into this container...;)))
↴↴↴↴↴
I may do totally "scrappy" or 
color themed--but for now, 
just cutting strips...

I am not really "sewing" anything
much--just  sewing leftover
jelly roll strips into sets to make
some placemats with matching
runners...
My energy level has not as yet
returned to normal...

When I awoke this morning, I found this
on my sewing room door:
MY DH is so funny.....
👀😁😂😃😆👀

Try to stay cool in this heat wave....
