I have been working on pages in my
"Trader Joe's Pita Crackers Box"
Junque Journal [ TJPCBJJ ]
the past couple days--
a little at a time...
Above I added a zig-zag-stitched
sari silk ribbon along the edge
of that half-page...
And here is the following double page spread
that has
journaling pocket cards...
On these pages, I used distress sprays, glitter glues,
old photos, stamps, and on the right page pocket
[bordered with gold roses washi tape]--
I did some encaustic (wax drips) work on a
prepped index card...
That was a fun experiment--I've never
worked with dripping wax from a candle
with my little mini iron before...😊
It was fun seeing how it worked..
I made four in total...
These pages took a few
days to put together...
and I had
such fun working on them...
********************
Helga and I sewed
the first row of "Posies sewn together
vertically and
machine appliqued the center circles...
Three more rows to go....;)))) then
I can put it together...
This is such a relaxing and fun
project. I highly recommend
Jan Patek's pattern which is still
available on her website...
And I have yet to make any decisions about
adding the borders ...
I do like her narrow stop border and may
opt to also do that on mine...

The heat and humidity has finally reached us
today--as you can see from our
Ambient weather station.
This little gem sits on the top of my bookcase to the right of
where I sit in my recliner in our side tv room...
We are real "weather junkies, both my
Sweet Baboo and I, and so we are always checking on
predictions etc. We have the app that goes along
with this on our phones, so we can always keep
tabs on our local weather...
😁😀😃😄🌂🌅🌇🌈🌊
along with our local high and low tides....
It's the little things that make our
lives wonderful, isn't it???
👫👯💑
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Since it is so hot today I am
cooking our supper in the slow cooker:
boiled potatoes with
fried cabbage and
steamed carrots...
