May Day!

Happy May Day, everyone!

Above is the cover and spine for the new book that I've been working in. I will start to show you the inside pages tomorrow. I used two different papers for the front covers (the front is at the top, the back is the last picture).

That stitching on the spine looks interesting, haven't seen a binding using it before.

I LOVE that binding! I hope that eventually, you will teach this one. *hint, hint* *rwg* I put together a cool lunchbox to contain my journal binding supplies. Borders has decorated lunchboxes with matching pencil cases and wrapping paper. So I put all of my needles in the pencil case, which fits neatly in the lunchbox, and covered a pen and little notebook with the wrapping paper! I don't even have to take the pencil case out to get to my needles. I love it.
Did you ever get May baskets? My grandmother used to give them to me and my sister. May Day is also very important to the pagan and Goddess-worshipping religions. Also called Beltane, it's the celebration of Spring and fertility of the land. It is celebrated by dancing around the Maypole and leaving May baskets on doorknobs.

Thanks for the links on the meaning of May Day. I always learn something here on your blog.

Love the links and the photo of the doodling on the laptop is great.
