One World One Heart #472
I am interested in your test of your decorative stitches. I laughed when you said you didn't care one way or another for it!! Before I read that you were thinking of making it into a Daytimer cover I thought it would make a great pencil roll back. I use the pattern from Pink Chalk Studio, which is a great pattern - no errors and easy to read, etc. I think a journal cover would be a great idea.
I am from Northern California and this is my first visit to your blog. Hope you'll join in on my creative prompt project, which I post every Friday on my blog.
