I’ve been struggling with making more journals lately. I’m working on them, but I kind of hit a wall for a bit. I guess life got in the way with Thanksgiving and kids and all that entails.
There was a lunar eclipse that I really wanted to see, but it turns out it happened at 3 am, so I didn’t want to see it bad enough to wake up that early. I might have caught it if the cat had woken me up at that time, but this was one of those times he chose not to. I did get a couple of shots of the full moon the next morning.
These aren’t the best pictures, but they are better than what I usually get with my phone. It’s really hard to get good pictures of the moon for some reason and I have an iPhone 11 Pro, so I thought that would make a difference, but it really hasn’t.
After the slump I had, I did start working on some new journals. But first I needed to replenish my dyed paper stash. I used the dipped and sewn dyeing method because it’s faster than the dyed and gone to heaven method, but it’s still a process. Fortunately we have warm, sunny weather this week, so I decided to take advantage of that to dry the papers.
These papers are going to be used in three travelers journals I’m working on. I recently was asked if I wanted to sell some of my journals on consignment at the gorgeous Sky Pony Gallery in Willow Bend Mall. I gladly accepted, but now I need to make even more journals than I had anticipated so that I have enough for the gallery and for the Craft Guild’s Spring Show. So I guess it’s back to work for me!
On a final note, the geese are back. Yay!
They are funny to watch because they have no fear of the golfers whatsoever. They just go where to want to no matter who is in their way!
Bye for now!
