(project for today)

One of the girls from our church asked if I had any ideas to repair the damaged TruTone cover on this little bible.

We agreed upon a fabric cover.  

She chose the fabric. 

I did the sewing and added the bookmarks with beads.

It was a quick little project and a joy to do!

(cross stitch binding)

Just finished another journal.

This one has a cover made from a recycled hymnal.

I found a tutorial for the binding technique here.

Another fun process.

The Ribbon Roads keep rolling by castle and shore
I remember every rhythm
Of wild ocean roar
There we have wandered
As dream dwellers roam
The Ribbon Roads keep rolling
From long, long ago

The Ribbon Roads keep rolling
Unbroken and free
Full of hidden memory
That calls you and me
If footsteps could whisper
They surely would tell
The Ribbon Roads keep rolling
With songs they know well

Oh my love and friend of mine
Walk with me till the end of time
Hold my hand mile after mile

Oh the Ribbon Roads keep rolling
They’re heavy with sighs
They seem like shining rivers
In rain-blackened skies
But here comes the morning
In crimson and green
The Ribbon Roads keep rolling
As they’ve always been

Oh the Ribbon Roads keep rolling
From dusk until dawn
The road that we have taken
Has taken us on
We see where we came from
And see distant bends
The Ribbon Roads keep rolling
Till our journey ends.

I am thankful for every ribbon road we have traveled together.

Graduation card made from a coffee sleeve.

These are always fun to put together.

Flag Day is also my late mother's birthday.

She loved it!

(poppy)

The poppies have popped!
Believe it or not, we dug these up last year and moved them.
They came up again in the same place!
Hard to move plants that have been in one spot for 40 years.

Must take advantage of the sunny day.

After all the rain, the garden needs attention.

Later, peeps!

(columbine)

It has continued to rain.

The one positive...the garden is flourishing!

The brilliant blue of our columbine plants is just gorgeous!!

We are getting much needed rain today.

Tomorrow, as well.

Loving the process of creating another journal!

The stamping is finished.

Stitching stuff to pages is next.

Then the cover.

I never seem to do these the same way twice.

Did you have a nice Memorial Day with your loved ones?

Hope so.

Today, my DH celebrated his 63rd birthday.
