(no subject)

Spent yesterday puttering and being self-indulgent. Got a bit of laundry done (but not folded, must do that tonight), finished reading Dark Water's Embrace, started reading The Telling, had a short nap midafternoon (it's the cats' fault, they were sleeping at me). Actually got two naps, another in the evening after By got home. So, between naps and getting to bed later than I'd intended (which is the story of my life now, I know), I managed 8 hrs sleep, total, yesterday.

Got some small books done yesterday...nothing fancy, just playing with the simplest long stitch spines out of the first Keith Smith book. There's a gal on handmadebooks who's doing some really nice things with long stitch and simple soft leather covers that wrap around the finished journal. The three I finished yesterday were all layered paper covers (because all I had was thinnish cardstock, which had to be glued up for weight), but I've got a cover cut and started for a leather one. I ought to start folding pages in the evening, when I'm on the phone. I've got paper a plenty, and folding I can do easily enough without dropping the phone. Ought to do some more pamphlet-style bindings, too...they're simple, simple to dress up, and a nice size for smallish things.

An interesting read....
