All of the things I do

Hiya Claireliz here

I'm still going with my Project 30 (this is a project I started in February to celebrate my 30th birthday) the idea is to fill a chest with mini books & other things from the whole year. This little mini book is dedicated to my hobbies, its a lovely Maya Road chipboard book with a canvas cover...

The flower was cut from fabric using a Tim Holtz Alterations Die & my Sizzix, the fabric was given to me by a lovely lady who attends the local crop I go to. The title is stamped with Banana Frog stamps & Staz-On ink.

The book has been decorated with scraps of stash I had in my collection. For some reason I believe every mini book has to have an introduction page to tell you about the mini book you are looking at ( I have no idea where this notion came from).... here is my intro page

I read a phenomenal number of books & am known for having countless journals, notebooks & sketchbooks ( I also always carry a pen) the next 2 pages are dedicated to my love of reading & writing...

If you regularly stop by here you will know I also love to sew & knit, on the knitting page I have wrapped some of the actual wool I used to knit the shrug in the picture around the chipboard bobbin...

the next page was tricky, as I make cards, scrapbook pages & alter things, obviously I couldn't fit all that on the page so I took inspiration from my lovely DH who calls me "A maker of stuff" hence the title I make stuff. I also grow my own vegetables on a plot I have pinched from my mum & dads garden, my aim is to grow a 50lb pumpkin (my biggest was 36lbs)

I also have a sweet tooth (a very very sweet tooth) so I had to a page about one of my loves in life (nope, not chocolate) I bake... a lot (as a result I also eat a lot of cakes but its a chore I'm willing to undertake :D )

There were 2 canvas pockets in the book, I took one out as it wasn't closing properly & haven't decided what to put in the other one yet.

Well thats all from me for now, Thanks for stopping by to see us at IACW & hope to see you again soon

Since you have the little pocket next to the "I bake " page it would be neat if you put a very favorite recipe or two in it!! Love this little book!

Just love this minibook, my fave part being the sweet little bobbin wound with wool, and definitely agree with Beverley's suggestion for recipes.
