Talking neglect here,

In my defense I have been very busy. If you want to see what I have been spending my time on then you will have to hop on over to my other blog which is charting the adventure of my degree. I will and a link at the bottom of this post.

I got the urge to experiment in weaving, and for that I needed a loom. Dash to the studio to see what I can find.

Panel pins.....great

Old frame and some tools, off we go.

Pins into the frame at either end.....,

Add some thread.

Just the job

Threads to weave with.

Car boots.....,

IlluminARTi Alpha group have been making Midori Note book, or travelers note books as they are sometimes call them. I alter the template for my own Midori as I like to use the Chrondex.

My Midori, slightly longer

Colour coded time management

Three signatures

Books, sketch book, journals, note books....., I love them all!

So the Alpha group are making Midori, fabric note book cover....,

If you are going to make more than one cover I recommend making a template, saves lots of time in the end.

Choose some fabric.

I personally like it all to be square.

Bondaweb, and stiffener.

Sewing around the edges

Adding holes for the elastic

Note book installed. I will show you how to make the note book another time.

Elastic closure loop

I made a few. 

My son Corrin left home a few weeks ago, so I have been decorating his old room, and Hector seems to like the desk for view the street and general resting!
