things that are making me happy, currently

A double shot in a can. Not that I need it, but it does help me get through the afternoon in a better mood.


New fabric! Some from online, some from the Memorial day sale at Joann. Remind me to never do that again; a fight broke out in the pattern section between two little old ladies who wanted the last of one thing. It was crazy. It's not the greatest pic, but the red/blue fabric on the far left (the large pile of fabric) is going to be for a skirt! (I still need to take a photo of the one I made last week.)


The Sublime Stitching journal that was a recent gift. Hand embroidered front and nice handmade paper pages...

It's now my list journal. I used to write, all the time. I've fallen out of habit and I decided to try it again, in list form. I filled a mason jar of labels with different list prompts and I pick one a day. Shake it up, pick one, stick it to a page and go. It's my proof that not all crafting and writing endeavors have to be glamorous.


And finally, Bob. Behold the cuteness that is my new black and white kitten, Bob. I'm not sure if he's a boy or a girl yet, but Bob works for me as a universal name. He's the cutest thing and survived his first night with a dog and two cats just fine!

Revamp

I got this adorable Readables pocket notebook at Books-A-Million yesterday. It's got a lined notepad and a mini accordion file, perfect for when I need to jot down notes or sketch ideas. I'd been wanting to make a pocket notebook but have never been able to make anything that I thought suited my needs.

It went from this:


To this:



And no, she didn't help. She just took up residence in the emergency iron box after it was chucked into the recycle bin.
