It’s been cold here lately, probably not compared to a lot of places, but for Texas. Today finally warmed up to 64 degrees with very little wind. Cooper decided to take advantage of it.
It’s such a weird way to lay, with his belly pressed up against the cabinet. All I can come up with is that the sun had warmed the cabinet and this way, he is able to get sun on his front and his back.
We have really old windows with zero UV protection, so the sun can really warm things up inside. I wonder if he is going to be disappointed when we get the windows replaced next month.
I’ve been hard at work on more journals. The latest one was really a challenge. I finished the cover without too many issues, but then when I went to put the signatures in, I realized the pages were all about an inch too short. I ended up having to add an inch of some sort of embellishment or a tab to every page to get them the right size. Once that was done, the signatures almost ended up being too thick to fit inside the journal. I finally got it finished and photographed today.
This is another I made after taking the online course The Beauty Within. I really enjoyed the course and it’s really fun to take a hardcover book and flip it inside out and turn it into a journal.
This is the first one I made from the course.
Now I’m on to the next one. I haven’t decided what type it will be yet. I still have a long way to go to get enough to sell at the Craft Guild Show in April. I wanted to make enough so that I would need two tables, but junk journals take a lot of time to make, so my next one might have to be something a bit less time consuming.
