Day 299 - Little golden book of inspiration

I'm going through a bit of a creative lull at the moment, which may sound odd since I make something every day, but usually I have at least ten things in my head that I want to make in the coming weeks. At the moment I don't, and my head is full of kids. It's school holidays after all.

 So I decided to make myself this little golden book notebook, to jot down ideas and inspirations, using a book I bought whist in Bright for 20 cents.

I pulled apart the book gently, cut some plain paper, and glued it back together again with the new blank pages. I added a little bit of pretty lace too.

Day 276 - Note book.

Tomorrow is the last day of school before our 6 week break, and I have everyone home today with a couple of sick kids. A lot of Christmas movies have been watched and now we have Chrissy songs blaring too.

The gorgeous bath bombs I made last week for Juliet's teacher did not fare well in the 42 degree heat so they ended up going a bit warped and look a bit sad. I couldn't bring myself to make the same thing twice so today I made her something else.

A notebook and fabric cover with green patchwork.

She is also getting some of this delicious Christmas bark (melted white chocolate and crushed candy canes).

I also re-did mum's family tree and I'm much happier with it. The leaves were too dominant in the last one.

Hope you are all well and not as exhausted as I feel.
