A Blue Jean Stenographer's NoteBook Cover

Well, here is another "look what I made tonight" entry. I have mixed feelings on how this turned out. I think I needed to embelish the heart a little more, but wasn't sure what to do to it.

I personally like using steno notepads, because I am left handed and other notebooks are not put together with us left-handers in mind. I actually turn regular notebooks around and use them upside down and backwards. :)

But here are some pics, I would sure like some feedback. I haven't decided if I want to put this in my Etsy shop or use it in a giveaway to build up my blog.

   This is a front view, It has a black elastic band about two inches from the bottom to keep it shut.




Gotta run, please like and comment, I have to go pick up my daughter from college.

One of my UFO's, but one I am proud enough of to hang on a wall unfinished.

Hi,

I had planned on sewing tonight but I spent the night enjoying our newly hooked up cable, and searching the internet for other unique tutorials and ideas.

Remember a few days back when I said I was going to dig up things from my past that I have sewn. Since I am 55 years old, that is a lot of past. LOL.

Here is something I created a few years back. I found it in a box when we moved last year, and decided, finished or not it deserved a better place than that.

One of the reasons I never finished it, is because I hadn't decided whether it should be a blanket or a wall hanging. Lame excuse, huh.

I have it pinned onto a room divider I made between my sewing room and the stair well in our home. This reminds me to someday figure out what I want to do to finish it, it also reminds me, what a great seamstress I am. Maybe that will edge me more to the sewing room and the creative side, than the wasting the time away surfing on the computer. :)
