Bits and pieces laying around came together for me yesterday.
Wish that happened more often.

I’ve been sewing like there is no tomorrow.I’ve managed to make a tiny dent in my fabric stash.Little J picked out colors for her American Girl doll sleeping bag. Her doll came with a lavender outfit so she has decided that lavender is “Rosie’s” favorite color.
I have one more ready to go and 2 more that are just in need of finishing.I’m partial to this red patchwork one myself.(etsy)

After being inspired by The Art Journal Workshop, I started work on the inside pages.I found the book that I disassembled for the covers at a thrift store quite a while ago. When I got it I hadn’t realized that all the pages were glossy which doesn’t work very well for altering.I still loved the covers and knew I’d use themin some way.
The inside pages are recycled cardboard from cereal type boxes. I obsessively save them to use as substrate for so many different projects. The pages are all a uniform height but the width is very random. I felt this might give the journal an interesting look.So far, I’ve slathered leftover paint from other projects on a few pages and completed one from scraps on my table.
The journalling reads:Forget the darkness behind you.Turn your face towards the sun and bloom.
