two journals.

My niece will be so proud of me for FINALLY posting my journals on my Etsy. She took all of the pictures and has had a post on her blog written and ready...for about two months now. Yeah, I'm like that. And now she's in Paris. That lucky little bird.

These are the first books I've ever made with stitching - I've used d-rings before and staplers of course as a kid, but this was a new undertaking for me. Well, I'm hooked. The first day I made 4, and followed with a few more...changing the design little by little each time. It all started with Rachel Denbow's tutorial in she and Elsie's art journal class (which, is now sadly over) and a Sunday afternoon in my craft space...

the doily.

I've sold 2, and gave 3 away as gifts to my nieces for their travels abroad this summer. I can't wait to see them filled! These are the 2 that I have left of this batch. I hope to make some more soon.

three blue flowers.

Both of which are for sale in my Etsy shop.
