Reading Update
Eco Books: Inventive Projects from the Recycling Bin by Terry Taylor. This has some very clever and unusual projects in it, including making books from old cassette tapes, egg cartons, and mouse pads. Not sure how well a beginner would do with some of the binding instructions, though. And I think that a book about using unusual and extremely non-archival materials should at least mention paper acidity.
“Just passing through, following the sunbeams!!” -Mayhem
Chris- Thank goodness I didn’t think about getting cats, I just did. Because it isn’t a logical decision- I just love animals.
Have a terrific weekend!

Mmmm. Some of those summer veggie recipes look really great.
A recent post from Cheryl S…Make a Wish (bone)
I loved the pen stuff and the summer veggies! I’m following sunbeams, too, Mayhem.
A recent post from margene..Reading, Knitting, Quiet
I’d never realised there were so many uses for a notebook! 🙂
NT stuff – live with an INTJ “Let them express their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Understand that they may be irrational.” Ha! Maybe I’ll just leave this lying around…

I am on vacation!!! 😀
A recent post from blodeuedd..Libriomancer – Jim C Hines
Ick. Eggplant recipes. Every time I eat eggplant I get sick, so I’m going to skip that link.
I didn’t skip the fountain pen maintenance link, though. I’ve been doing relatively good on that front, but I’m sure I’m going to need to do a more thorough cleaning relatively soon.
And those are some good ideas for uses for journals! Though my biggest problem isn’t deciding how to use a journal, it’s maintaining that use for more than 3 months…
Lastly: LOL, sci-fi sheep books! I must read one. Or five.
