This week, I started going to a weaving class and my professor would like us to keep a journal for the class. Just so happened that I found this beautiful handmade paper journal in a local thrift store recently; and, I am happy that now I can make good use of it. The papers have very nice quality that is more like fabric or leather. It inspires me to keep a stitching journal….a journal without my handwriting. The first assignment in the class is to think of a word to share with the class. I have been thinking about “roots”. Root as in origins as well as source of energy. This is a collage with photocopy of an old photo of my brothers and me with hand stitching and stamping of the word “roots”.

Recently, I discovered a vintage clothing store in town. It is called Moon Zoom. They have clothing range from 50’s to 70’s. I found these cute vintage aprons there. It is a fun place to visit. They also carry men clothing.

Another thrift find is this cute wicker champagne suitcase from France. I found it half off at Thrift Box in Willow Glen. It only cost $1.50! Perfect for my yarns!
