a little sewing

i'm going to spend this afternoon doing a little sewing. i've got some book boards covered with arches textwove paper, and some watercolor papers folded and all ready for their make-overs into blank journals. i really enjoy the cutting and folding of the papers, and the gluing of the covers, but i must admit that the sewing is my favorite part. that's the part when everything comes together and suddenly you have a journal.....and it truly fascinates me every time!

    I love getting everything all laid out and then putting it all together like pieces in a puzzle. You have a wonderful gift, darling :) I haven't thanked you in awhile for all of your sweet words. They truly mean ever so much to me :)

    i'm sure that the sewing signifies the end of a fun creative process. do you find yourself thinking up what you're going to do next when you're sewing?

    Oh, I love that moment when suddenly a piece becomes a whole instead of a collection of parts.

    Enjoy your sewing afternoon, and may it be a productive one...

    xoxo,
