A good end of the day… January 30, 2012

…As I walked passed the bed, to switch on the light on my nightstand, something drops on the bed:

a tiny piece of confetti…

:-)

Thank you colleagues!

 

 

On another note:

Just this evening, someone I DON’T KNOW has ordered one of my notebooks!

What an excellent end of the day!! Yeehah!

This one worked out quite o.k. :

My first two-tone leather book.

With pagemarker.

 

 

Watched… October 10, 2011

Filed under: Film,Home Made,TV — Simone @ 11:54 am

We watched yesterday:

   Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

With Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman.

Wow. Classic film, with a very pretty Taylor and a very handsome Newman.

I don’t think a film like this (pretty static, based on a Tenessee Williams play), with two major actors will ever be made again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Homemade:

I improved my self-bound diary!

It now has a pocket and an elastic band! This should last a year or two! :-)

 

In the press… September 26, 2011

Filed under: Books,Home Made — Simone @ 7:31 pm

I put something in the press…

Can’t wait to see it!

The press is for books what an oven is to baking: the magic moment!

I made a brown leather binding for a new diary, and I am so curious to see how it turns out, I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

 

Home made… May 23, 2011

Filed under: Books,Home Made,Reading — Simone @ 7:49 pm

I finished some recent projects…

A photo album!

And a blank book with the use of washi tape.

Both with nice retro papers.

More pictures under “home made”

Reading…

Anagrams by Lorrie Moore

 

Book Safe May 8, 2011

Filed under: Books,Home Made,Paper — Simone @ 10:15 am

I finished my book safe last week.

A book with a great looking binding has been turned into a safe.

The paper was cut away and then a generous layer of glue was applied on the inside.

The book had no chance of ever been read again.

(otherwise I would not have ‘killed’ it!)

It was a text on politics at the start of the 20th century…. in French.

This one contains several variations of Japanese binding. Nice.
