I got a couple of chunky books put together finally. I was thinking that all of the pages would fit in one book but my O-wires weren’t big enough, hence the two books.
My other current project is my recycled flannel and denim ragtime quilt. Much to my surprise, it’s going together quickly. I have all the pieces cut and am assembly line sewing them. With any luck I’ll have the whole works finished by the end of the week.
Over the past few years I’ve been in a number of chunky book swaps that didn’t have enough players to make a truly “chunky” book. My friend Elizabeth came up with a great solution. Put them all together in one book with dividers separating each theme.
Here are the front and back covers for the book I’m putting together. Now I just need to gather my old swaps and figure out how many dividers I’ll need to make.
I was notified last week that my items had arrived for the fundraiser. Later that week I heard that the cooperative puzzle art piece I was involved in also arrived. **Mine is the blue piece in the lower left.**

This cause is near and dear to my heart…my son has Asperger’s Syndrome which is on the autism spectrum.
1 in 150 children are diagnosed with autism. 1 in 97 boys. Autism impairs a person’s ability to communicate and relate to others. It is also associated with rigid routines and repetitive behaviors, such as obsessively arranging objects or following very specific routines. Symptoms can range from very mild to quite severe.
After pulling my tired old black T-shirt out of the wash last night I noticed the color wasn’t true black anymore. What’s a girl to do? WELL DUH….alter it!
I’d watched a segment on Creative Juice that used gel dishwasher detergent with bleach to stamp on t-shirts. I don’t use that stuff but had a bleach pen. I just squirted some out on a yogurt lid and used foam stamps for my images. After the bleach completely dried, I washed and dried it as usual.
My little girl was amazed by the nearly instant bleaching. “Mommy, can you do that to one of my shirts?” Absolutely!
I made these 3 yesterday.
I don’t like them as much as I do these.
I’m not a big fan of making ATC’s. The size doesn’t speak to me. However, for packing tape transfers they seem to be a great size. I found a magazine article that had the coolest background and I knew it would look awesome as a transfer.
These are for a friend to help fill in a postage theme mini book.
