A trifle damp this morning.

This is what we woke up to this morning.   What a good thing my husband fixed those bars to lift the feet of our seats free of the water level.
Poor soggy neglected garden.   I suppose I'll get out there one day.

I have been working on the pages of my fabric book using photocopies of my own photos although this one was from a card.

Most of the photos are from a holiday to the Gower Peninsula and are full of happy memories.  I have learned quite a lot during the making of these pages and am now not happy with the dimensions of some of my pieces of fabric.  What a shame I couldn't see that earlier!

Most of the fabrics are scraps left over from a dyeing course many years ago, or were painted for other projects.

Another time I shall bond each fabric scrap in place before hand stitching.  I just can't get rid of all the wrinkles.   What a good thing I like the rustic look.





I have thoroughly enjoyed making it and am still considering adding small embellishments to some of the less interesting pages.    Now I must devise the cover.

Keep safe, and dry.

Oh Heather, this might be my favorite book yet! It's gorgeous!

Love this book. I think the wrinkles add to the hand made look.

Love the way your books heading Heather and definitely don't worry about the wrinkles, they are character lines. I hope your rain eases off soon.

Don't worry about how the process went Heather, it's all part of the journey and the lovely memories. Sorry you are so water-logged. Roll on the Spring and some drying weather. xx

Like Pat, I had begun to wonder if you were still making your books, but I am so glad to see you are. These pages are lovely and I like the wrinkles too! They all help to add character to the pages.
