The beginning....of my
amaryllis story....
and overnight ...this...aaaahhh
and almost there.....ooohhh...
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...
↧↧↧
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
