I love ordering stuff from Lenehans, because they pack stuff like my dad (lots of tape) and also because they shamelessly reuse every bit of cardboard they have on hand for shipping and packaging. Today's package is sponsored by Pattersons Scottish Bakers, best before November 2024.

Today’s junk journal spread.
I used old planner stickers,
Magazine and coupon book clippings, shipping tags, and a picture from a little golden book.

To me junk journal long is all about slamming trash into art. It’s about exercising your creativity and sustainability.

Unlike this spread, today was a very rainy gloomy and exhausting day. But I did get to thrift shop and score some craft supplies, add to my collection of dolls/toys and restock my apothecary/alter.

How do you make a project bag that's *actually* useful? 🤔
My MIL is an avid knitter (did you see those monstera mittens i posted? She made me those for Christmas 😭❤️) and her birthday is this weekend. I know she likes to knit in the car, so I wanted to make a project bag that is light, but has a couple of clever features. There's plenty of room for a handful balls of yarn, plus a pocket for needles, pencils, notes etc. I thought about how annoying it is when the yarn balls roll around in the car, or having to do colourwork and the threads get all tangled. The solution is a strip of webbing with channels for the different threads – but with snaps, so she doesn't have to cut the yarn to get them out. Added a bigger snap for closure and webbing straps for carrying. Hope she likes it!
Everything in this project is made with what I already had: the outer fabric is a thrifted Flåklypa bed sheet, the lining is a thrifted curtain, the snaps are leftovers and the webbing was tied around some kitchen towels I bought recently.

J'ai réussi a le terminer à temps. Je l'offrirais à ma fille tout à l'heure après le dessert. J'ai réutilisé la laine d'un pull acheté quelques euros en friperie. Le tricot n'ai donc pas régulier. Ça donne un petit côté rustique qui va bien à la demoiselle. La laine blanche provient d'un pull de ma grand-mère et les autres laines sont des pelotes orphelines. Le patron "inner circle" est gratuit sur le site dropsdesign, j'ai juste redessiné le diagramme que je vous transmets en 2ème photo. Je l'aurais bien gardé pour moi ce pull...
