My First Books

I bound my first books!

Maybe I should be surprised it took 30 years for me to give bookbinding a try. Thankfully J was a smart sister and took the bookbinding class at BYU, her input was much appreciated.

They aren't perfect, but my first four attempts may be considered a success. I'm now finding all kinds of papers I've got laying around that I want to make into books.

Travel Bag

I've been on the hunt for my ideal bag to take on vacation. It needed to be a cross body bag with specific size requirements for things I plan to carry. My lovely friend T told me where she got the bag she took traveling last summer. I went to H&M in haste and happened upon this lovely orange number, perfect for what I need.

Except the cheap-shiny-slippery-meshy fabric inside was not what I hoped for. No matter, I made myself a new lining. Problem solved.

Notice the old fabric top right?

I did overlook one thing...pockets. There will be much digging around the bottom of the bag.

Hero

Friend's K & A dressed up for an fundraiser at A's work. This "dress up" included K wearing a Mr. Incredible costume - naturally, being the considerate friend I am I HAD to stop in and take a photo of him.

This first one consists of him accusing me of only taking photos in order to tease him.

The superhero pose.

Play Ball!

Caught a River Cats game earlier this month. S, A and I were already on our way when I found my lovely friend K would also be there. We bumped into her while headed to buy tickets and she kindly gave us her extra's. It was lovely to catch up with her while we enjoyed the game.

K, me, S, and A's cheek.
