Slowly sewing again

Remember a few posts back, I was going to start caring for my home more. Well, I am just making more of a mess.

Now there are strings everywhere...

Inspired by Donna Downey's art journal, I attempted to create my own. I had a roll of canvas given to my son after some art classes, so I cut 10 5x7 pieces and sewed them to various pieces of fabric. As usual, I started to over think the whole process and thought there was a need to learn how to bind a book. But, I stopped and told myself to just sew and not worry about it being perfect and here it is in less than an hour.

Now, if I had really been thinking I would have painted on those 5x7 pieces of canvas first - lesson learned. The goal is to now make this my inspiration art book.

Donna has a class on creating an inspiration journal from various papers and fabric. After completing the canvas book, that is my next project.

It is sleeting and snowing here. Nothing to do but create.
