I GOT MY STUFF

[james]

The post office finally decided to bring me my package!!! I think it's only been in transit for three months? YAY.

Thank you ruuger!! (I bet you are SO RELIEVED to know it's arrived.)

I tried to take decent photos. So much cool stuff! A hand-drawn picture of Natasha Romanov! A little notebook with a painted cover and an octopus drawn on it! And a fabric bag to store said notebook in! And a little wooden carved keychain (or just a little dangly thing!) Hand-carved with my name, and painted in, and a loop for dangling.)

!!!!

I love it all to bits and thank you so very very much!



And a closer look at the back of the bag:

My Last Gift.

Since my previous post, I recieved one more gift. It was totally unexpected and I did actually gasp out loud when I opened it because... well, WOW.

Thank you SO MUCH laridian for this. It's a quilted wall hanging, which I intend to hang on the wall above my TV. The design is from the early part of the 20th century, I'm told and it's all the colours I love in deliciously decadent and gorgeous fabrics. I love, love, love it. It's so unique and wonderful.

As life (tm) has been less than stellar between these posts, this gift from laridian couldn't have come at a better time and really gave me a huge smile in a very dark time for me. (Above and beyond Covid, natch). Thank you again, and I'm so glad too that you've discovered a joy in making junk journals. (If you'd like YouTube channel links to some of the better makers and their tutorials, send me a message, I'm happy to share.)

I have been so incredibly lucky this year. Thank you to everyone involved in this community, to the mods who put things together, the pinch hitters who pick things up, and just all the wonderful people here.
