The paper was chosen by my step mother as she did the printing. The paper was so nice ! There was some pieces of gold paper in the paper (that I couldn't take in photo).

April - NATIONAL LETTER WRITING MONTH

Last year I've joined Lindsay Ostrom's writing list. This year, she asked if I wanted to be part of it again but I knew I wouldn't have much time to only answer people, and really have no time to make cards.

She is such a sweet person ! I answered lately that I couldn't join this year, and she still sent a card to congratulate me for my new family.

no crafting

Hello my few visitors.

 

As you can see it's been a moment since I've done a craft project. My baby boy takes most of my time. I need to tidy my bedroom craft area before I could do anything.

 

Hope you stay tuned. See you soon !

handmade journals unwritten

I'm sorry, last week I wasn't able to craft anything. And I think it will be hard for me to do something till the end of the month : my body is tired, and hurts sometime. For the few visitors : don't worry, it won't last long before every thinthg is all right again !

I wasn't pleased with my first attempt at book binding so I made a (bit too big) book cover and a sort of pen older for some crayons.

  • I would love to try and try again !!!

As I didn't found already square paper where I live I've cut it. I made varients of cranes and when it was assembled I saw it needed some weight. I've added stone chips and it was finished. In the package I've added the origami birds I didn't use.

catching up

At the beginning of last year, I did a few swaps. But unfortunately I had some problems to realize 3 of them, including one I hosted.

In one of my received packages, there was a zine of where my partner lives and I found the idea really great ! So as I only did some doodling the week, I did my zines this night as I have problems to sleep... But I need to buy a printer so I can see if they are readable...
