It's autumn now here.
Usually I love autumn.
But this year I can't seem to enjoy the beauty of this season.
I'm longing for the lightness of spring.
So I bought a blue Hydrangea.
Ah... so beautiful!

Also in my recent work you see my longing for the lightness of spring.
Here's further progress of the little book I was making.
.jpg)
I bound the book.
Added some laces, fabrics and water colour.
And now I'm busy with the cover.
Can't decide on it yet.
.jpg)
It is a happy learning process anyway. Whatever the outcome may be.
You experiment and make mistakes. And you learn from this.
Your work makes progress and that's such a joy!

I think this is enough for today.
Hope you'll experiment and find joy in it.
Happy crafting!
