Pen(cil) cases

I’m experimenting with pen cases. Not happy with the result so far. I want something handy that I can throw in my bag. The problem is, pens are short, pencils are not. But I want one for both …

Friday Finds

And Friday Deliveries :)

In fact, I have so much fabric now, I’m a little overwhelmed. So many options, so many things I could do with it - where to start?!
Love this sort of problems, though … :)

Morning surprise

One of the best things to happen on mornings. Getting a delivery! See that yummy, old fashioned fabrics. I’m in love. And they came quick all the way from the US. Now I’m still awaiting some from Singapore and there is something on the way from Turkey and from Poland and from Greece ….
Okay. It’s time to stop buying fabric now for some time. To bad …. :)

Dinner is ready!

Much to hot for “real” cooking. All this cutting is a lot of work still…

But doesn’t it look healthy? And it should be healthy. At least as long as I put some of my favorite dressing over it! Heheee….. *runs to eat now*

I made a page …

Not sure yet wether it’s THE page. The inside is a bit to much. To crazy …
But well, I have one at least!

My new bag and our pages

See what I got today with a page! MY BAG!!! Gosh! I thought I would buy it - but instead she just sent it and won’t accept my payment. Can you imagine? But … hehehee… I have her address!
Who she is you like to know - well, who else than our Petronella! And I can tell you, she did an amazing job with this bag. It’s exactly what I wanted - a pure bag that I can “spice up” with sewing leather on it. My poor photos really don’t to it justice! But now I’m thinking, maybe fabric… Ah. It will take me some time. I’m afraid to ruin the wonderful bag.
But please go and visit the shops of this amazing girl:

And - to get your creative juices flow, here are some glimpses on the pages I’ve got so far. They are all beautiful in their own style. I can’t wait to have that finished book and skim through the pages!

One kilo sketchbook

It does not show on the photos, but it’s double the size of my usual journals and with the heavy 200g papers it’s a big, fat heavy piece. 967 gramm exactly. Not for sale! :)

Philomena

The first one with one of my tags inside. I choose a very modest place to sew it in. Think that will be it. It’s visibel when one looks only…

More Philomena photos in my Shop :)

My fabric labels arrived

Aren’t they beautiful? I really like them. Exactly what I wanted. Now I’ll have to see how it looks when I sew them on my books. Oh - and you did see the beautiful fabric that also came today, did you? So lovely. I’m afraid to cut into it!
