| Happy Canada Day |
It was a warm one yesterday with a high of 36C or 96F. Not to 100F yet but I am sure we will see it that hot this summer.
With the heat, we stayed in the house and kept cool. Some of the things I did was to
- sew on the doll's ball gown. I also spent as much time un-sewing.
- Search on Google
The ball gown is coming along but I need to make sure it fits. That may mean un-sewing two front princess seams.
Google searching was much more productive. I really had a blast doing it off and on during the day.
One of the things I look for is Canadian designers. As you know from a previous post, I found esheep designs. The author of the blog lives in Edmonton, Alberta and does some neat designing and customizing of patterns.
Since finding her, a customer told me about another Canadian designer who not only designs but sells bag hardware. Emmaline Designs is full of wonderful ideas. Her shop is fabulous. She has oblong grommets that I love, wire frames for a bag pattern she offers for free. The owner of this site also lives near Edmonton, Alberta (Spruce Grove). (Thank you for the correction, Rochelle). The customer who told me about her, commented that she ships promptly. My heart sings when I find Canadian sites. I know they are out there but they can be hard to find.
I work the Canada Day weekend which is fine with me.
Until the next time......................
Yesterday I got everything I needed for my Sewing Bullet Journal. I am not going overboard as I want to keep it simple after looking at all the bullet journals examples and finding out that you don't need everything they have when starting.
I did buy a Leuchtturm 1917 journal at Chapters and it was $11.00 less than at Amazon. I also saved $10.00 using up my Plum Rewards Points which made it a deal ($14.00).
The Washi tape (in navy blue) and the micro pigma pens I bought at Michaels. I had the .3 and the .5 pens at home and bought the .2 today. I save 50% on one item plus 10% off my purchase for being a senior.
The highlighters and post it notes I bought at Walmart. The pencil we had at home along with the eraser and the tabs but they are at Walmart. I usually buy them when on sale for back to school.
I got everything I needed for less than $25.00 and was happy I had a few of the items in the house.
I am ready to start and am looking at ideas for the next few days of preparing my Journal for use. I am using this mainly for sewing projects but will include Lifestyle in it.
Until the next time................................
