I'm at the end of a 3 week furlough from my job. Financially, it has been crippling. Mentally - it has been a godsend. I slept and slept, read, quilted, pieced, patched, cleaned, organized and restored myself. My last free act was to cover a 3 ring binder for my work on the board of directors of our city's library. I've always got stray files and folders and notes and agendas and minutes scattered. When I leave the house at 7:45 AM, I'm not all there. I needed something to contain all that paper, and be easy to grab and GO.
The fabric on this notebook is a remnant that I have had and loved for ages - it's a nice, thick, richly woven beautiful thing. It felt like a 4-H project for the county fair - I had to cover a box with contact paper when I was in about 7th grade and I got a white ribbon for my efforts. It was horrible. I felt so judged. This turned out pretty well. I like it. I'm going to be ORGANIZED in 2010. I hope. A girl can hope.[gallery link="file"]
