I woke up again at 5:00am eastern standard time which is 3:00am here! Instead of staying in bed, I decided to get up and get some coffee.
I was thinking that on the way here, I gained an hour each day. On the way home I will lose an hour each day. So I will probably take four days instead of three. But that won't be until the end of the month.
This evening is the final high school concert for my youngest grandchild. One of three celebrations. The other two are an awards dinner and then graduation. My how time flies...
Yesterday I worked on the cover for the current journal. I used regular cardboard covered with fabric. The front cover was very bendable so I added another piece of cardboard, again covered with fabric and then decorated. Instead of gluing it to the front cover, I attached it with four brads. The cover is completely covered with fabric inside and outside...
It really is very striking. I also covered an additional spine so I could add the four signatures to that spine and then glue that into the journal cover.
So, I had a lot of cardboard left over and decided to have some fun and make a small studio. The base is four inches square. I made the furniture out of cardboard glued together with tacky glue. I'm going to paint the shelf, table and small chair white. I am going to cover the larger chair with a bit of batting and then fabric. I still want to make a floor lamp and maybe an ottoman. Then the fun begins making tiny studio things to decorate everything. Check this out...
I did decorate two more pages in the current journal...
I have a laptop which is on most of the time. I found that when I'm done decorating pages with glue, which has a tendency to make the pages curl, if I put the page spread under the laptop for four or five hours, it will straighten out nicely.
We're closing in on the middle of the month...how are your intentions doing? Finished? Halfway done? Haven't even begun? If you're serious about working on your intentions maybe you need to schedule time to work on them. If you haven't already done so, set aside some time to plan the best way to accomplish your intention...then do the first thing on the list. 'Beginning is halfway done!'
Hope the weather is enjoyable where you live. Remember to enjoy some quiet time...
Talk with you tomorrow...
