Here are the latest neutral strippy blocks....
making the gray diamond shapes)..
Here are the other ones:
There are a few pops of oranges, and turquoises in here as my stash of neutrals is very small...so I am
stripping off sections from multi-colored fabrics to fill in...

and craft once again}

AND now for my NEW daily "magazine" journal..........
for those of you interested in my other obsession...;~*)))...
I tore out extra pages (so the binding
wouldn't break) and then prepared this
Sunset magazine for everyday junk-
arty-journaling about our daily lives...
My First spread....
[I am "harvesting" images from old magazines to illustrate daily events....]
I am thinking though that I will switch to a weekly two-page spread--for after all, our lives are
not chock-a-block with busyness like when we were bringing up our family and working...
I am finding this a nice alternative to just written journaling ...altho', i am
of course, continuing to keep my daily journal in my Franklin...and my Weeks.
Here are the Youtubers that I follow to learn about this:
Heidi Hornsbury, Dede Willingham, and Craftyhodges ...
(there are many others, but these are the ones I follow.)
I am happy to have found a new way to use-up my old scrapbooking ephemera,
washi tape, and stickers....which have been inundating my craft space....
Hugs, Julierose, La blageuse (crafting-euse)

ReplyDeleteAnd when you use up all your old scrapbooking ephemera, etc., there will be more room for fabric, hehe! Love, love LOVE those neutrals blocks!
ReplyDeletemy BIL suffered from serious migraines for much of his life ( the kind that would put him into bed for two days ) until some medicine that affected the blood vessels at the base of his neck helped...but it was inherited etc.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you go through this as well.
Another quilting blogger has the same struggle...Bernie https://needleandfoot.com/
Good progress with your blocks and journal.
ReplyDeleteRoom for more fabric? Yes!
I'm glad you're feeling better too.
Gosh your strings look great - I wouldn't really have thought to do the grey and brown together! The journalling looks fun and possibly quite addictive too!
ReplyDeleteTHose grey blocks radiate light! This is continuing to look amazing.

ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how we purchase bright fabrics (and love them) but find the neutrals work so well in our lives? They are a testament to your skills.
