the weekend and the holiday market

The holiday market went well this weekend and Christmas is starting to feel very close :)

The plan for tonight is to go home, put on a good Christmas movie and start wrapping. I really love that part. And happily this year I was able to do all my shopping without once stepping foot inside a mall.

In other good news, I found out that I do in fact have a job next year, plus a couple weeks off which will give me the perfect opportunity to take a trip to Mt. Shasta to see some good friends, play in the snow and possibly squeeze in a little work for Morgan. That is of course a HUGE relief and a wonderful Christmas gift.

books!

agendas and lined journals and blank books, oh my!

More bookmaking has been going on at this Sweetland's house. And I have a feeling more may continue to go on, at least for the rest of this week.

books!

Ive been favoring fabric lately. I think one of the biggest reasons is durability.

If I have a journal or sketchbook I am going to take it places with me. This might mean to work, a local coffee shop, an airplane or into the woods. These fabrics will hold up well under that kind of wear.

I love books

domestic goddess

large daily agenda, 5x7

This book is covered from head to toe in a lovely cotton blend boasting an orange and creme geometric pattern. Being covered completely in fabric gives this book a bit of extra toughness and durability. That toughness along with this cheerful and dainty print make me think of a domestic goddess happily at work.

The clash 9x6 blank book in teal, sprouts in shades of blue and a green botanical print.

the clash

I am a girl who likes to clash (in clothes, in home decorating, the list goes on and on). Sometimes it works out and looks adorable, and sometimes not so much. But I like to go ahead with it anyway.

The clash is a new series of books made while thinking about how surprising and fantastic it is when an interesting and unusual combination works. When you find that two seemingly clashing things are somehow actually complementary. When they go together to create something interesting and beautiful that you had never seen before.

Medium address book in teal corduroy, a green and white natural print and an orange and creme filigree pattern.

Large daily agenda in an orange and creme filigree, teal corduroy, and green and white natural print.

These two books would make a great set, or are lovely on their own.

Hope you birds had a fantastic weekend!

read a banned book week!

Thanks to HelloGiggles, I found out this morning that this week is banned book week! Who knew that this even existed, but what a great idea it is. So this week celebrate the fact that we can read and publish whatever we want.

Here are some that would be on the banned books list:

Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Beloved by Toni Morison

Slaughter-House Five by Kurt Vonnegut

These (and countless other banned books) are awesome and I am SO HAPPY that we can be introduced to new and interesting ideas by them. So go read one.

Have a fantastic Wednesday birds!
