Jan’s Sunflower


Huge shout-out to @sea_lemon (again) for posting her bookbinding and other creative videos to her YouTube channel. I’m using this handcrafted notebook gifted to me by @wamydia years ago as a journal of my bookbinding projects. This is my new jam.


The sun has finally risen, even though it’s behind this overcast funk that just won’t quit. The cat has gotten what she wanted (breakfast) and what she didn’t really want (her morning meds). I’m not quite firing on all thrusters yet, and the cold brew won’t be ready until I get back from taking my son to day camp.
Sounds like a good time to do some freewriting.
Except my mind is a blank.
Maybe it’s a good time for some meditation practice, instead.

I know this isn’t my best side, but — huh-huh, butt? — pockets!
I extended the right welt pocket to accommodate my phone, and didn’t even bother to open the left pocket all the way.
Granted, I won’t need to wear business casual again until probably late September… but at least I’ll be ready with proper pockets when the time comes.
Peeps who have owned a Cricut machine for more than a year (@relysh): do you still use it like you did that first few months? Is it still worth having around? I’ve been thinking about getting one, especially since my son loved using a Silhouette machine at science camp this week.
