Autumn-inspired notebooks

I've been making loads of tiny hand-bound notebooks lately. I love the process and I love the way they look and feel. There are several notebooks available for sale in my Etsy shop now.

These two are the ones I'm especially happy with. Basically I used the same idea I had for the Banana Pill t-shirts and tote bags a year ago. I collected oak and maple leaves outside my house, painted them with watercolor and transferred the paint straight to the carton covers. The paint didn't transfer as well as it did on fabric, so I had to add some color with a brush.

I'm totally in love with these leaves! I wanna try with other kinds. The only problem is that I don't know the names for all the trees.

Granny Square Laptop Cozy and Tiny Pouches

I've made this laptop cozy quite a while ago. It was my first granny square project ever. I've spent lots of time trying to find good buttons for it, that's why it was complete only recently. It doesn't fit my laptop, so i don't yet know what to do with it. Will probably put it on my Etsy shop, but should first measure it properly.

I had some yarn left so i made these little pouches. I've no idea what you can store in them but i find them quite cute.

Treasuries on Etsy

I have been away for too long again. My adaptation period after the holidays always takes time. But i had a lovely holiday and now i'm back with new projects and ideas. I will have new things to show soon, some ongoing collaborations and new additions to my Etsy shop. For now i'll just share my treasuries on Etsy which i've tried making for the first time.

The Beauty of Natural Colors

Lovely Pastels

There can never be too much white

I've wanted to try making treasuries long time ago and i've even tried starting couple of times but it always seemed too hard. Yesterday i somehow got so inspired that i just started making several of them at the same time. I had lots of fun! I found lots of nice new shops and i really enjoyed matching the listings. It was not too easy, but i think it's a good exercise for developing taste for color and style.
