5 things for the weekend 22.13
book club meeting, the oscars, two ingredient salad dressing, and free knitting patterns
Though we woke up to a light dusting of snow on the hills we can see from the kitchen, Spring is definitely here, and I can see it all around me. I can also feel it within me as it seems like my body is also awakening with the warmer weather. The synapses in my brain seem to be firing more sharply these days, and I am looking forward to the creative burst that I always get at this time of the year. Whatever season you’re heading into right now, I hope that it fuels the creativity within you.
5 Things
1. Learn how to make cabochons for jewelry making with simple supplies, including magazine pages.
2. Make a batch of this two ingredient dressing that goes on everything.
3. I’m intrigued by this mindful approach to a knit-along (KAL). You can choose between a hat or pullover, and get a free pattern for each.
4. Today I’ll be working on making a watercolour sketchbook, and thought you might like to check out these bookbinding stitching tutorials.
5. This year’s Oscars included a number of nominations that are film adaptations of books.

In April I’ll be dipping into the April Love photo challenge, and the Journal Mood Challenge. My approach will be to only use the prompts that move me. If you play along don’t forget to hit me up on Instagram!
New journal alert! This Spring themed notebook is for the memory keepers who need a place to write down their journaling for future projects. Also good to use as a simple scrapbook. Just write the day and date at the top, then journal to your heart’s content.
