SPRING SAMPLER
Anyway---As I was laying it all out on the floor, my little furry buddy, Chester strolled over for a visit. He was such a happy kitty and purring so loudly. He decided to just plop himself down on top of my stitching, thinking it looked like a cozy spot. Or---maybe he was thinking, "No, you aren't working on this, you are going to pet and love me instead." Well, he was right. I did not work on my sampler, I sat and loved my Chester cat instead!
But, I do have some photos of my work in progress to share with you.
I try to find time on most days to do a little something on my sampler. Somedays, I have time to do more involved things and some days just a few stitches here and there. I find it very relaxing and very fulfilling. Just a little creative something to make me happy.
Hope you all find a little creative something to make yourself happy this week.

CATH KIDSTON PROJECTS
A while back my mom and dad went to London and surprised me with a goodie bag from Cath Kidston. It was full of fun fabric and the most beautiful oilcloth. I have known what I wanted to do with it all ever since they gave it to me--a pillow for my studio and a tote made from the oilcloth.
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Now, the next time I go to the bookstore, I'll have a stylish tote to carry my new books and "glossies" home.
Thanks Mom and Dad for all the fabric---I love it so much!

MY REMAINS OF THE DAY JOURNAL
So here it is.
I am very glad that I signed up, It has been so fun working on my cover and the few pages I have finished and I have learned quite a bit. The problem is for me, has been, finding the time to work on my inside pages.
I did enjoy gathering all the different scraps of vintage fabric for the cover and sewing it together with bits of seam binding and pom pom trim. The tie is a length of velvet ribbon wrapped around an old clip earring.
Soon, when I finish my inside pages, I will share those with you too!
