Here are my project plans for this year.
Project 1: Finish all of my unfinished projects.
Project 2: Andrea and I are going to do a super special secret one-on-one journaling project in the new year. So that’s a big one.
Project 3: I want to make more books. I have been experimenting with using junk mail envelopes to make little books. I have one almost done and then I’m going to make more. I think that they’d make great birthday cards for special folks.
Project 4: I remember seeing a book project where the artist used a styrofoam pear for the covers. I still have the pears and I want to try that.
Project 5: I’m considering buying a sewing machine and a bind-it-all thingie with my Christmas money. I’ll have to learn to use them. That’s a project.
There are more, of course. Some of them rely on my unjamming my coil binder and/or buying a Bind-It-All. Some of them rely on my re-learning to crochet when mom sends me my grandmother’s crochet hooks. Some of them rely on the weather getting warmer so I can do things in the garage and outside. All of them require getting over my fear of failure. Wish me luck!
Today I’m working in my new journal for this year, as well as in Karen’s calendar journal for our round robin.
good sounding projects. I love working on books and journals. Have fun with the crocheting.
