All it needs is a knot to join the two ends. |
Yesterday I tried 3 times to do the stitching. First time failed because I forgot to include the cover when I stitched the pages. I laughed it off in disbelief. Second time failed because I stitched the cover on upside down. Hmmm .... I guess I was distracted? Third time failed because my thread was split during the stitching process. After failing a third time, I decided I'd better go out for my evening exercise and start over again later. After a bike ride and a run, I had worked off my frustration, slept well and woke up this morning ready to take another stab at it.
This morning, I put on a song from the zombie movie soundtrack 28 Weeks Later and successfully finished the stitching. Having patience and a bigger needle made all the difference.

It took me about a week of thinking and thinking until I had a plan. During that week, I watched lots of youtube videos on journaling and the sketchbook project.
I'm looking forward to seeing your sketchbook take form.
Sounds like one of my days.
Take care.
