JJJ 1 LE JEUDI DU JUNK JOURNAL
Some months ago I found some tutos on YT about Junk Journal, I never heard of it before and I loved it. Too many WIP for more precise research but entertaining to follow some videos.
I took some screenshots anyway for further scrapbooking projects.
Those past weeks, everyday life was more full of worries and cold days than I needed so I made for myself a prescription for something new, fun and different!
I have always loved papers, their texture. I'm old enough to have learn to write with ink and feathers and I liked it. Of course, before using a computer I was used to save invoices on big accounting books. I have always bought postcards and kept tickets, bills, bags to remember museum visits, holidays. I loved also images from stamps to magazine ads, posters and books, anything printed.
Could be the right time to sort those boxes full of memories and collect them in albums. I'm a fan of travel journal, always dreamed of it but never take the time to make one. Everything connected to sewing could be gathered in a special, particular album.
So time has come for Junk Journaling!
First, collect papers, from school notebook to bags, from tracing paper to paper doily, all kind of white paper, all weights, all shapes, to make what they call "signatures".
As I'm dedicating this JJ to sewing, I have added some pages with embroidery drawings and some old sewing patterns.
When pages are too large I make a fold (I could use to stick some images).

FULLY FINISHED GALLERY 03/24
It's the 10th of this month and Rachel from "Ten Hour Stitcher" welcome us and our Fully Finished achievements.
Please visit her blog and see all the finished projects of our stitching friends.
https://tenhourstitcher.blogspot.com/2024/03/link-up-for-fully-finished-gallery.html
For a change, I have made a big resolution and instead of put aside the two last Christmas characters from Cuore e Batticuore, I have followed the good advice of a wise friend!
So here are the fifth and sixth of that serie fully finished with the string around the stitching.

WIPOCALYPSE 02/24
Time to share with Melissa and the Wipocalypse family the projects we want to complete before the end of the world.
On FB or https://measi.net/
Only 10 days from GG post but some more stitches on the Lady and the unicorn.
Je continue à progresser sur la robe de la Dame.
I have a LOT of wool threads to stop and hide with all those colored stripes on my hexagon sweater.
I have added ranks of bridles at the bottom, finished the cuffs and I'm sewing the sleeve.
I know you'll think one is larger than the other but it's the same number of bridles (I'll check again...).
Finition des poignets, ajout de rangs de brides à la taille et essai de montage de la manche.
Still drawing and adding some watercolor for my TdF6 stages.
De nouveaux dessins pour les futures étapes du Tour de France n° 6.
Some news about my cat cushion, more cats (not sure I'll use all of them because some wool will probably be too thick).
Quelques petits chats supplémentaires et de nouveaux paysages.
Pas beaucoup de laine marron pour crocheter des sols en terre mais je suis retomber récemment sur un restant de laine utilisée pour un renard donc j'essaie. Le but étant de piocher dans le stock de pelotes je ne cherche pas à accorder à tout prix les couleurs mais comme je vais devoir assembler les neuf carrés ensemble je pense faire quatre carrés avec le même ciel bleu pour que cela soit plus joli.
Topic for February post: What stitch-a-longs (SALs) are you participating in this year?
A new schedule this year are the You Choose SAL has stopped :
Gifted Gorgousness with Jo on the 15th and the Wipocalypse with Measi at the end of the month.
Fully Finished Gallery and Smalls Sal by Rachel if I got something new to show.

SMALLS SAL 02/2024
After Mary from Mary's Thread, Rachel is now hosting the Smalls SAL
Now that the You Choose SAL is stopped, I hope I'll find some small stitchings in my WIP to show you the last Friday of the month.
https://tenhourstitcher.blogspot.com/2024/02/smalls-sal-link-up-february-2024.html
Smalls SAL est maintenant organisé par Rachel et nous propose de montrer nos petites broderies. J'aimerai bien y participer régulièrement et ainsi avoir un nouveau rendez-vous sur le blog le dernier vendredi du mois.
Pour cette première occasion, j'ai choisi une broderie (pas de point de croix) faite pour l'article du You Choose de juin dernier sur le thème de l'arc en ciel.
I thought I had no small to share but... then I thought I could start this new Sal with a small embroidery I have made for the 2023 June You Choose post with a rainbow theme. It's not cross stitched but I hope it's ok to show it!
I have finished a brooch adding a pin on a small embroidery in a little hoop.
