For the last couple of days, I've been exceedingly busy. But I needed to make some cards and spent a few hours making these from some gorgeous papers I had on my desk. Some of my cards are for sale on my ETSY shop "Bertseesabox" and others are destined to be included with purchase from that or my other two ETSY shops "Bertseesathread" and "Bertseesabead."
Another trio of index cards. No, I have not caught up, not yet. Today, I made a bunch (20!) greeting cards. I'll get them scanned and posted this weekend. We're expecting a few snow flurries tomorrow; I'm so tired of winter and wanting summer again!
Today, like yesterday and the days before it, the network is abysmally slow. I'm trying again to post a sneak peak at the cover of a new journal I've made. The rest will follow as I -- and the network -- have time.
Balmy (for Montana in February) Sunday and time for a few more index cards.
With March fast approaching (not fast enough), I have been thing back to a journal I made in 2013. My Mom was living with us -- and her dementia -- at that time, and I was always wishing for winter to end so that I could tire her out by walking on the local Rail Trail, and inspire her to sleep all night. I created this little journal then, and have made some additions in recent years. My Mom passed away in the summer of 2016, not having a clue who I was, or who she was, either. Alzheimer's Disease it a terrible thing. This little journal brings back better memories. The cover is cloth over a cut up cereal box. I added a HUGE opening handle, so now it does not sit close to friends. All the edges are zig-zagged on my sewing machine. I'll be making a new one again this March, and you will get to see it later.
