Awww!I love long weekends!


So I had a great weekend.I don't really make a big meal and occasionally my mom might hold an Easter feast but this year I went over to my bro's place and had a barbeque in the beautiful Spring sunshine.Chicken,potatoes,teriyaki vegetables,sweet potatoes baked in brown sugar and just the company of family.Alot of laughs and some wine and just a great day all and all.I had a little time this weekend to stop at the shop where I sell my crafts and to my surprise I had sold some things.It's been awhile since I was there due to work being such a busy time for me.So I decided to make some newer items for them to try and sell for me.So above pics are what I came up with.Little felt covered notebooks I made from scratch with the binding stitched with embroidery thread and a whipstitch to complete the look.I like the butterfly notebook better but I hope to make more of these in different colors and patterns.

  1. I'm glad you've had a nice break last weekend. :) And these look very nice. I see you included a beaded bookmark in each too, which is a nice touch. :)

  3. wow very productive Easter break for you Ang! I love these books, I am sure they will prove popular for you. Where is it you sell, are you on Etsy? I must read your profile again here and on flickr that will tell me the answer right? I have finally opened on Etsy but had to muddle through my prices into US Dollars, hope I haven't made them too high.... I really wasn't sure.
    Anyway, the notebooks are great, have a great creative week, and glad to hear you had a happy Easter with your family.
