Slow but sure progress is being made...

Goodness the weather is grim here in Cornwall today, if I didn't have to venture out later I'd happily hunker down with a little hand sewing.

Not so many snaps to share this month, but I can assure you we are beavering away and someone has work ready for framing...

We had our last official meeting until January but we are having a little get together in a few weeks, so hopefully we'll have something to share then. 

Thanks for reading our post.

Sharing a creative day...

As promised in our last post we start with a few pages from Jane's handmade books. I couldn't photograph every page, but you can see Jane's beautifully painted pages, maps, lace, and pockets. Wouldn't you just love to work into these pages.

As with all us creatives sorts when there's a chance to experiment we delve into our stash and we're ready for the challenge.
Below are a few snaps showing our productive and very enjoyable day...

We'll post a few snaps so you can see our handmade books when they're finished.

Most of our altered books are finished now, so only a couple of snaps to share with you this month, we're revisiting the books that had more pages...
