I thought I'd make a Winter Wonderland journal in readiness for the snow, they keep promising it but there's not a flake to be had down here in the lowlands. I chopped up a fabric napkin for my cover and added a tassely thing to hide the wonky seams, it always starts off looking straight...
love love love these colours
stamped vintage numbers ready for action
I ripped out a couple pages that would have shown me how to write better
I also cut up the pattern that would have shown me how to knit winter woollies, oh well
and to finish a Sprüngli chocolate shop ribbon on the spine
still waiting...

I love the way the book looks, and especially with the blue theme. (Did you intend that?)
What a super book you have created while waiting for the snow. Like you, snow in my part of the world is absent, too. I saw a local weather report last night where we are 4.6 inches below normal in snow accumulation. Seems only 0.4 inches have fallen all winter. And none of ours stuck, either.
Hope you get some lovely photos soon. I can't imagine no having snow in your area this winter. Of course, the journal will keep you going for awhile!
The journal is sooooooooo lovely... do love the color. You are brave to use a fabric with straight lines on it... but it's such a perfect color. I hope it snows soon. Can't wait to see more. You've been awfully productive lately.
This is just beautiful. I love the blues! It finally has snowed here but not a lot. Hopefully it will come your way! Jamie V in MT

Just beautiful! Who needs snow, when you've got this?
Beautiful and so perfect for winter!
ooh this is looking GORGEOUS already ( with the promise of snow ?! ) LOVE the colours & the " Tassley thing "
Let it snow....
We had two storms. The snow evaporated the next day both storms. It's quite nice :}
Oh my gosh...you've made another! I still haven't gotten any further on my first! It's beautiful. Love the subtle color scheme.
As a new blogger, I really enjoyed seeing your use of fabric textures. Beautiful photos of the stacked fabrics and rich choice of blues for the snow-filled season!
these colors remind me of you...You seem to be drawn to very pale, cool colors and I love that.
