Bookmaking

bb1.jpgI’ve made an attempt to make my own sketchbook using traditional sewing method. Boy! It was sure hard! (I’ve spend approx. 5 hours doing just this!) After much frustration (though it won’t stop me from perfecting the skill), I resolved to a simpler method by gluing the spine of the sketchbook (perfect binding). It took me only half an hour to finish. I love the look of it! And the best thing is, I got to print my own illo as the cover!

Yay! My very own handbound sketchbook!

As for this one, I used my old stock of premade notepads and
made the covers out of greyboard and yards. Lined the inside
with scrapbook papers.

 

I feel that there are so many things to learn yet so little time.

I knit!

I am so proud of myself! I just learned knitting few days ago and almost gave up when I couldn’t even cast and stitch the first row! But luckily, my son told me, ” try again and again until you get it.” I finally got it after trying more than 20 times. Thank you baby, you’re my motivator!

Here’s the result:
