Another page completed in for this ever growing collection.
Next step here is an overlay.
The embroidered cloth piece relating to this work is also progressing along with a small embroidered fabric book.
The ideas keep coming.....
It's a hardback notebook today, one of these (and no, I'm not on commission).
I can recommend stitching into one of these books.
There are pages of dots, graph paper and other linear patterns which make spacing so easy.
The paper is very receptive to needle and thread too.
I haven't actually worked into this one for a while and I'm tempted but I must finish some other things first.
You have been seeing a lot of stitching in notebooks recently.
Well....I have lots of those, embroidered/stitched notebooks.
Today it's a different one, an old one.
(you may have seen it at the 'other place')
There are lots of these little stitched/design/exploration pieces dotted around my house.
I'm tempted to keep sharing them with you.
My current project is all consuming.
I am not working on anything else.
A reminder, there's a wrapping cloth and a design notebook.
More painted cloth is being embellished for the wrapping cloth and 'different' overlays are being created for the design notebook.
There are plans for more hand made embellshments for the notebook to accompany my little mushroom tags.
Can you tell I am enjoying this?
Another stitched notebook....one from 'the other place'.

I learnt from this one, (we learn from everything don't we) and I am learning from my current one.
It has occured to me to add to this one taking inspiration from current work but sadly I have a very limited supply of this paper.
Regardless, if I don't do anything else with this one ...

I have started to add the hand stitched overlays to the pages of my little design notebook.
Little mushroom tags have also been added to some pages.
There is so much more I want to do in this little book.
(notebook measures 6x81/2 inches)
I have calculated how many more overlays I need to make....thirteen.
I best get going then.
Last time I was here it was all about the hand stitched overlays.
Today it's two new pages which will each have an overlay too.
I'm possibly going to add more to these, that's why they don't yet have an overlay.
The embellishment here is all hand stitch, scraps of cloth and scraps of paper too.
You may have noticed a little watercolour in the backgrounds.
I'm not sure of the gsm of the paper in this notebook.
It's quite thin and almost certainly not made to accept wet media but it didn't ...
