My blog is a book! Well, a self published book, using Blog2Print, and paying a hefty amount. I easily downloaded my posts, by date, and created a book online. They shipped quickly and I'm thrilled with the tangible record of my 2012 blog posts. I've got a book for 2011, too, and considering doing a 2010 edition. 
Why? Because it's a great record of what I've done. Because I work really hard on this blog, and I'm proud of it. And, this way I can show others my blog and encourage them to sign up to receive it in their email box, which I'm sure you're doing, right? (Just go to my blog and enter your email in the column on the right side, and you'll never miss a post.)

I found my way with instagram when Jen Louden offered a little contest for her upcoming Creative Joy Retreat. (And she generously gave away this lovely and inspiring creative joy workbook.) She asked her followers to post images of our creative joy. Well, that just set me off! So many glorious images to post on Instagram!
I'm having great fun with instagram. Follow me!

I love the look of Molas, and decided I'd play around with the idea, using felt. (I got some gorgeous packs of felt at Purl.

The theme for The Sketchbook Challenge, this month, is flower doodles, so I did my doodles with the sewing machine.

I love working in felt. Remember this Recycled Circles pillow I did? (and remember, I have a DVD out on how to make recycled circles.)
