I cleared enough space in my studio to punch the holes in the three daily planner books and new 4 x 5 notebook I just started making. I was going to sew them up tonight in front of the TV but I was really curious to see what that new notebook looked like when it was finished, so I stitched it, pressed it, trimmed it, and rounded the corners. I'm pleased with the way it turned out. The cover, by the way, is from a book of decorative card stock. #MakeSomething #bookbinding

I have the entire day off from responsibilities other than feeding my dogs and myself and giving us all potty breaks. I'm going to spend the entire day down in my studio prepping it to get stuff done.

I'm also going to bind three daily planners (July-Sept) and a new style of 4x5 inch lined pocket notebook. I'll likely do the page punching in my studio and sew them in front of the TV this evening. (Yes, I hand stitch them. It really isn't a big deal.)

My wife took one of my pixel dailies from last year and painted it on a small canvas as well. @pixel_dailies

I didn't quite like my boring, grey-ish desk lamp, so I sanded it, painted it white and started #doodling...

It's not "perfect" and it doesn't have to. It's mine and I love it! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅณ

#makeSomething #funArt

A 20 minute walk and cup of comforting lemon ginger tea, and I think I can finish the last couple of tasks of the day. Then it's on to cooking dinner and hopefully working on my #quilt. I hit a minor obstacle and put it away for months. I'm ready to get it back out and #MakeSomething.

Got a little crafty (and punny) for the holidays. Broke out my wood burner on some blank hot plates.
