Day 24 – 30 Days of Creativity

I’m all about letterboxing now! I already made my stamp. I went to the art store today intending to purchase a notebook specifically for letterboxing. I saw a Moleskine that I really liked, but figured… I can make that!

I used an old map for the cover. I wanted it to be like the Moleskine I saw, and I wanted it to be more of a story instead of a standard book. So I made it one long piece of paper folded into a book. This way, each new letterbox stamp gets it’s own page, but you can pull it out and look at them all together too! Here are a few pics of the book:

 

This shows the cover pretty well. The finished book size is 3.25×5.25, small enough to fit in your back pocket while hiking.

 

 

 

Here you can see how the pages fold.

This is how the book unfolds. There’s another picture with Max in the background with a normal face, but I thought this one was funnier… he’s yawning, OR he’s really excited about all the hikes we are going to go on!

Wine Cozies Now Available in my shop!

I started crocheting awhile ago to keep my hands busy (like they need more things to do!) and I began experimenting and found that I could create most anything with yarn!

This is one of the more simple things to do. It’s basically a tube , but I add my own twist to it using different colors and yarn throughout.

Here are a few of my new items:

The one on the left is made for a standard 750ml wine bottle and is approximately 3″ in diameter. The one on the right is made for a standard 750ml champagne bottle and is approximately 4″ in diameter.

They are both hand crocheted using Lion Suede yarn — they are very soft! You can wash them in warm water and lay flat to dry. Use them again and again.

Everything is customizable, if you want one in a different color, or a different size, just contact me and I’ll get it done for you!

Keep in mind the wine does not come with it!! 🙂
