My desk in 2016 – woyww #344

January 6, 2016 By Marit 14 Comments

Goodmorning all and goodmorning ‘deskers’ (happy New Year to you too!) – I’m back after the holidays showing you my desk this morning and, as promised, photos of my brand new handbound Chronicles journal. And that’s all, as I have to run to catch a bus (visiting my parents today) so there’s no time to talk much. I hope to visit your blogs/desks later this week. See you then, enjoy the pics!

    Wow, the cover and the spine looks amazing! Do you have a post about how you did the binding? Could be an option for my next LifeBook! How did the Top 2000 party go? I really wanted to take part, but just couldn’t find the opportunity during the holidays! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa #39

    Amazing journal – that would cost so much to buy in a shop, and would never look as good as yours.
    Have a wonderful Wednesday and the rest of the week,

    Gaaf! Je journal zo met leren stukjes! Heb je mooi gedaan en knap bedacht! Wat is jouw werkplek ook altijd heerlijk opgeruimd. Ik hoop dat je het gezellig hebt gehad bij je moeder.

    That looks like a wonderful book. Was the binding difficult to do? I want to try making some books this year. Did a couple of easy ones last year but none with traditional book binding. I’m a like scared off by how difficult it looks!

    Oh you are clever….that hand binding is just wonderful, perfect for the mismatched leather cover. Congrats too on the 2000’s it was fast moving fun!
