Beautiful stitched art journal pages. Very inspiring.
Thanks
Kat :-)
I want to take over my partners sewing machine soo bad....
Katina, Thank you for saying hello, good to meet you!
Brian, Sorry to taunt you with more photos of stitched paper. Perhaps you can gain access to the sewing machine when said partner is otherwise occupied. Trickery might work.

I love that Roald Dahl quote! I have to say I'm so inspired by your stitch journals. It's something I've never tried before; I don't have a sewing machine but I imagine you could sew journal pages by hand almost as easily. Since finding your blog it's definitely something I'll have in mind to try!
I would love to have one of those little fairy houses. I recall you got it at a craft show, am I right? Do you know who the artist was, and if he/she has a web site? Thanks!
Great post, BTW. I need to try stitching pages too.
Michelle, What a sweet comment, I love knowing that you're inspired to add stitching to your journal pages. You could certainly stitch by hand, and that would give your page/journal a really unique look and feel. I look forward to hearing about your stitching endeavors!
Sandra, I added the name of the folks that make these wonderful houses to the post.
