As my days are filled with uni , J and all the other myriad of things that pop up and scream to be done (pay the car registration, 'oh its a fine day I really should wash all of the sheets', and the like); I found myself in the uni bookshop looking whistfully at stationary supplies when I spotted a notebook. Now it was an ordinary notebook - black covered, B5 size (I think!) and spiral bound, but it just called to be something more...
something that could be pretty like this...

So while J was watching 'Giggle & Hoot' on ABC2 - I swear they need to up Giggle's salary, the kids love him and he obviously loves what he does, but you would hope they pay him a lot to be silly, funny and kid-like - and I had a few quiet minutes when I should have been doing the washing-up, I whipped up this.
The fabric is one I have had for a while (possibly an Alexander something 'Starling'). The blue was out of my stash container and the sewing only took 5 minutes if that. In fact I think the iron took longer to heat up than my total sewing time.
And I truly believe that there is nothing 'like a brand new notebook'. Even when its predecessor still has a few pages left.
