Making Watercolour Tags for My Journal

January 17, 2021 / Vero

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been gently soaking in the universe of Willa Wanders, aka Wendy Solganik, who makes fabric and paper journals that feel ever so tactile and delicious. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHxiKIznZXl/ Inspired by Wendy's journal class, I wanted to make little fabric tags to include at the back of the journal.

Jigsaw puzzles are so therapeutic, aren’t they? This first of three Magic Puzzles (from a Kickstarter I supported last year) arrived at the perfect time on Friday morning. We had just said goodbye to our little kitty Rose on Thursday night, and it’s been a real balm to just quietly put together this puzzle while we put our emotions back together and figure out a new daily routine without her. 😔
Don’t have the sanding tools I want? No problem, we’ll just 3D print them!
So pleased with this leather wallet! 🥳 Took my time making it, stitching as well as I can, gently burnishing every edge. It’s a joyful and relaxing process.
Played the long game for this egg and cress sandwich! Fancied one last week but Ocado didn’t sell cress, so I got my little seed hotel out and grew the cress! Today’s sandwich was totally worth it. 😝
Took a day off today and it felt like the most “day off” day I’ve had in months (yes, including weekends or Christmas, as we worked through to prep for brexit and other things). I did the minimum amount of work today, painted for a couple of hours, knitted, did leatherwork, watched a long Downton Abbey ep (I’m way behind of course), walked a few times around the field for fresh air on the crisp ground, and I might try to go read a little before bed. I barely thought about Brexit or covid, hardly used my phone or doomscrolled, so I feel thoroughly satisfied. 😊
Made an infinity of sushi tonight. Can’t go to my favourite sushi place but homemade sushi and cocktails ain’t terrible either 😊
