This has been my secret project for awhile now. Make a journal out of recycled materials. I've had the idea floating around for over a year now. Especially since I have a ton of old magazines laying around. I already save certain images to use in my personal journal. But I wanted a way to use those pages that have great images on both sides. I watched several videos before I decided on the way I wanted to bind it all together. There were a  few test runs that were good but not great solutions. So here is the final product. I used a granola bar box and covered it with a paper bag I had laying around. There was a ton of measuring for the pages and trimming the paper down to the right size. Then I bound all my pages by sewing them into the spine of my book. It was tedious but worth it. I'm currently in the process of making more. I gave my BFF one of the early prototypes so I can't wait to give her one of new and improved journals. ...

That's right I did not start a new crochet project last week. I have a hat I started months ago but I've lost interest. Oh! I did make a new beret for Blythe. I just haven't taken any photos. I made a new out of recycled material, no pictures today but I will be sharing. I have quite a few things I want to work on but I'm having a hard time getting motivated. I think it's because I'm dealing with horrible insomnia. The kind that has you sleeping through the day and up all night. It sucks! Tomorrow will be better, I know it! xo Alicia

We went out for a late lunch last Friday. We decided to slip out when the rain let up for a bit. The whole time we where at the restaurant no rain. There was even a rainbow on the way home. Once we made it in the house the skies opened up again. Glad I got to see the rainbow. Meanwhile, it's gonna reach 90 degrees tomorrow, ugh... xo Alicia 

Oh yay! I finished the blanket I was working on. Now on to the next project :) I just have to figure out what I want to make. xo Alicia

source Makes me want to head to the beach or a road trip~A road trip is overdue ! source Another road trip inspiring print :) source I think I've been bitten by the road trip bug! source Some how my Monday Pretties are all have to do with hitting the open road. I promise it was not planned. I just have this sudden urge to drive up the coast. Darn responsibilities keeping me here!

I love who this baby blanket is turning out. My only issue has been working the green yarn. I had to unravel a few rows because I had skipped stitches. Never crochet when your cross eyed tired! I had gained a lot of progress. Four rows of half double crochets around. I had to unravel. I just wasn't happy with the way it was looking. So I started over just a few hours ago better this post was set to go. I think it's looking better. I plan on keeping my edging as simple as possible. Yay! I'm almost done :) xo Alicia

 The pattern is based off a Granny Square that I thought was interesting. I'm just going to work around till it's big enough for a baby.  I also plan to add a different color around the egde. I'm thinking a pretty green to help the green in this yarn pop a little. A shot of the corner detail. Thanks for stopping by :) xo Alicia
