Living Single
Well sorry for the lack of updating my blog. I've been working on some stuff, but my mind has traveled else where recently. But I have returned and soon I will have some great stuff to put up. Recently I've also been thinking about selling my wares at farmer's markets and such. It think it helps actually being able to see the finished product in front of you rather than on a computer screen. I will keep you posted on my new journal line and accessories.

A Special Journal
I have been missing in action for a while and I’m so sorry. Things have been very busy at work and I’ve been trying to play catch up with my home life. I got pushed back into the lovely world of crafts when I realized that I was almost done writing in my journal. I figured that I needed a new one so I went out to search for a new journal, worthy of containing my personal thoughts and secrets. NONE COULD BE FOUND. I purchased some fabric from Etsy (of course Frida Kahlo fabric) and I decided I would make my own journal.
Of course it took me a week to do it, even though it only takes 2 days if you have all the stuff to make it. Out of fabric, glue, staples and cardboard I made this.
I remember the first real journal I got, Mom gave it to me. I wrote stories in it and little drawings, that was in 7th grade. It was a plane burgundy cover with pastel pieces of paper in the inside. After that journal, I told Nana that I wanted more of them. She bought me unused ones from yard sales and I used them until a classmate found a journal I’d left with my newest colonial story in high school. She ripped the pages out and told me that it was hers. Oh sure you would be genius enough to laminate pictures of the bands I like on top of a ugly flower print cover. I went on a break from journals for a while until I took up poetry my junior year of high school. I’ve owned lots of different types of journals, but I love the bound ones. There is just something classic about it. I hope to make more journals in a classic style, but with a little twist.
