When I saw the blog entry Coffee Rings Make Great Table Art at Junk Creation I expected the art to look, well, ugly. I was pleasantly surprised that the tutorial link Peggy shared didn’t look too bad at all. In fact, the coffee rings would look pretty cool on a journal cover. You could even […]
Mary Emma Allen has some great thoughts on keeping a Quilting & Patchwork journal on her excellent blog. If you wanted to make a really memorable journal for this you could make your own & give it a gorgeous mini quilted cover.

Noreen from Hankering for Yarn wrote a comment on my Journals for Last Minute Christmas Gifts about handmade journals. I think this is an excellent idea. If you’ve got some extra time you can make a really personalised Christmas gift. Create a handmade journal that is unique and as individual as the person you plan […]

The instructions look very detailed and you shouldn’t have any trouble creating your own handmade journal after […]

I couldn’t resist sharing this handmade Denim Journal Cover after seeing a recent Simply Thrifty entry. Deborah Ng shares a list of 13 Things You Can Make Out of Your Old Blue Jeans. I particularly love the way you can stick pens, etc, in the pockets. Great idea for a journal you need to […]
Since beginning the Bead Journal Project I’ve been wondering what to put my journal pages into. While searching for the perfect journal I came across these on the Seven Gypsies website. It’s not likely I’ll easily find any of those here in Australia, though.
So, I’ve been looking at making a custom journal just for […]
So, if you haven’t been over to check out Noreen’s Hankering for Yarn blog yet, here’s another great reason to do so. She has some really cool instructions on handmade journals bound with spoolknitting. If that doesn’t give you a truly individual journal I don’t know what will.
