…an assignment; a large box.
Check under “Home Made”
January 2010
It’s quite tricky now, when a birthday is coming up, I really have to think ahead.
If I want to make something special, I really need to start early, a week ahead or so.
The pressure, the pressure!

After the summer break I am picking up my pace with making new items.
I have a few ideas for new creations, and if anyone has suggestions, please let me know!
I put two new items under home made, a book and a box, hopefully more will follow soon…
This is a great clip, I have seen it ages ago, but thought it was so original that I should put it up.

Did a lot of cleaning up today, both (!) my worksurfaces. Feel very organized and tidy …
All filed now
Thanks for the paper, JL!
I hope I can make you the perfect bookmark…
I will be presenting the giftset in a few days:

The bookmark, blank book, ruled blank book and box, all with the same Japanese paper.
Also, I have redecorated a big box, which now looks as follows:

Several more projects are in progress, but first I will be in France for a few days, enjoying the sunshine and doing absolutely nothing…

My first assignment is finished!
Doesn’t it look great?
All will be revealed…wednesday?
I DO hope it lives up to expectation…

Pretty slow week so far, but they were good days nonetheless.
Papersheet 1
Another box has been born (ordered, no less), for which I purchased paper on wednesday (won’t show it, it’s a surprise). It was impossible to resist two other sheets of paper.
And some more bookmarks were produced as well. Just looking at them makes me greedy.
Relaxing evening with a Krimi on Saturday, and a productive Sunday afternoon.
I made my first bookmarks, and finished another box.
When they’re dry, I will post pictures.
Ofcourse with some cardboard, paper and glue I could have made bookmarks at any time in the past, but because it is now routine to work with these materials, it is only now that I start applying it to other ideas.
Scary news: the flu that started in Mexico which can spread all over the globe. Maybe we should ban all air travel, that should prevent it spreading to Europe…
Reading Margaret Forster’s The Memory Box
Finished another box, to go with the first one (see Home Made)
Great pattern to work with, for items this small, by the way.
Working on another blank book, thought it might be nice to show it in progress…
The cover is separate from the book altogether. It just needs glue to put the two together, which I will do at home…
And I am reading Maeve Binchy’s Heart and Soul 
Finished box #3 Sunday, I consider it practice. (see tab) With a bit more patience, light and a good table, it can be better.
We went to a flea market on Sunday also, got home with loads of bags! 
Handkerchiefs, paper and books to name but a few.
Monday was a working day, not bad at all, except for that awful man, who smells sooooo bad. I had to put on the airco in an attempt to make it bearable. Doesn’t he know he has an effect on people around him????
