It's amazing what sleep can do. In my case, now that I have some free time at the end of the day while Fredrik sleeps, I have been going full steam with art projects. I finished unpacking and gave my little art studio room a quick organize, and now it's so easy to start creating things.
First on the list was a 15 book series of handbound journals that I had started a few months ago. I thought a big project would quickly hone my bookmaking skills. Repetition is best. Here are my book parts as they lay now:
I just ordered some book cloth from Paper Source, I've never used there book cloth, but the colors were just fabulous.
I made these name tags for Thanksgiving next week. I had collected some fall leaves a couple of weeks ago and I pressed them in a huge anatomy book. I had the bright blue cardstock on hand and simply sewed the leaves on. Easy yet classy, I think. (I didn't write the names on yet). We may have a crowd of 19 in our cozy little house here.
I'm not sure what I think of this sunny drawing. I was missing the sun and I had just bought some wonderful illustration markers.

Impressive! I really like the sun picture.
Katy - I can feel the energy bursting out of the photos and your words! It's true: it's amazing what a little sleep can do. Fredrik is probably faring quite well with the sleep, too!
barb thinks the sun would look great in her house. think-- one christmas present checked off the list! m
No - I want it!!! Alas, it doesn't match my house so I guess Mom can have dibs.
