Love the little feet.
I was a bit nervous about the sewing and gluing--I've had some issues with bookbinding in the past--but this was a very smooth process. Everything is mostly straight, and sturdy.
Still working on getting caught up on posting my journal pages.
Thoughts on turning 56. Now it's nearly time to say goodbye to 56.
I made my new journal right before the end of 2008, but was so busy I didn't get to work in it until February. The left side of this spread is the inside cover of my journal.
9-10. January 2019 I could always laugh when my colleagues tell me what their children have been saying. Top left: The 2 ½-year-old daughter asked my colleague in the morning before work: "Mom, have you already decorate yourself?" Make-up or decorate, who knows the difference? (In German it's schmücken and schminken, sounds similar).
Below: A colleague tells that his daughter was very stubborn and found everything stupid. He asked her to be nice and suggested that he would hug her so they could get along. Daughter: "GETTING ALONG WITH YOU?! NO!"
And then there was the visit to the dentist, which was not as funny as the children's sayings.

9./10. Januar 2019 Ich könnte mich immer kaputtlachen, wenn meine Kollegen mir erzählen, was ihre Kinder für Sprüche gebracht haben. Oben links: Die 2 ½-jährige Tochter fragte meine Kollegin morgens vor der Arbeit: "Mama, hast Du Dich schon geschmückt?" Schminken oder schmücken, wer kennt da schon den Unterschied?
Unten: Ein Kollege erzählt, seine Tochter sei sehr bockig gewesen und fand alles doof. Er bat sie darum, lieb zu sein und schlug ihr vor, dass er sie in den Arm nehmen würde, damit sie sich vertragen könnten. Tochter: "VERTRAGEN?! NÖ!"
Und dann war da noch der Zahnarztbesuch, der nicht so lustig war wie die Kindersprüche.

This week I am featuring a how-to guide to covering a journal, using this little one as an example...
January 16th, 2019 I finally got a new pair of rain pants. It is a pair of Vaude pants, the model is called Women's Luminum Performance Pants. It is super light and can be folded small. In addition, ist has strong reflection stripes. I have already done a test drive in the rain, the pants kept close.
Right page: My friend Stephi had problems with her macbook, and I reinstalled it. She made some tarte flambée, which we ate while the installation was running. Delicious!

16. Januar 2019 Ich habe endlich eine neue Regenhose. Es ist eine Hose von Vaude, das Modell heißt Women's Luminum Performance Pants. Sie ist superleicht, lässt sich klein zusammenlegen. Außerdem hat sie krasse Refektionsstreifen. Ich habe schon eine Testfahrt im Regen gemacht, sie hat dichtgehalten.
Rechte Seite: Meine Freundin Stephi hatte Probleme mit ihrem Rechner, und ich habe ihn plattgemacht und neu aufgesetzt. Dafür hat sie Flammkuchen gemacht, den wir verspeisten, während die Installation lief. Lecker!

We had family coming over last weekend, so I thought it was time to take the fruit stickers off my kitchen window and put them in my journal. Looks like we've been eating lots of apples. I like to record new rubber stamps in my journal. I got these at the Dollar Tree. I hadn't been in one before. It's a fun store. The photo is me in the first grade. I look a bit peaked. I had a rough year that year and missed lots of school. I picked up measles, roseola and lots of colds, etc... Made my family a nervous wreck I'm sure.
This journal has hand dyed fabric covers with playful free form stitches, the embellished covers showcase my stitched doodles. The journal is wrapped with crochet, hand dyed fabric and vintage flowers.
My first Marathon... it was a trail run in a group in a very slow pace with some group leaders. The weather and the ground conditions were a vehement challenge. But I was astonished that I was able to run the whole distance. And it wasn't so hard as expected. After we finished the run I asked myself for reasons why I should do this again, one day later I subscribed to the Hamburg Marathon in April. Don't ask me why. I didn't find an answer yet ;-)

This is a visual journal I'm making as I work through the book "Your Heart's Desire" by Sonia Choquette. I've decided to work differently than I usually do--I'm "prepping" the pages before I do the journaling instead of doing it all at the same time.
