These are super simple paperback journals. They look artsy and hip, but are so inexpensive that they don’t have that preciousness factor that makes you too scared to write in a journal for fear of messing it up. And they each have a matching black ball point pen! I’ve been carrying these around everywhere, taking notes on every book I read, and toting one in my purse for on the go sketching. The cover is folded so that there is a pocket inside the front and back, and it stays shut with a velcro flap. You can carry one everywhere too! $5.00

  

  

  

Little quilts made into books! Machine pieced and quilted from muslin and other cotton scraps over cotton batting for great texture. Heavy natural colored drawing paper for pages, with a piece of light green engineering paper here and there so that you can jot down ideas for knitting or quilting (or whatever else) designs. 5″x7″–big enough for sketching and journaling, small enough to fit into your bag and take anywhere. Held closed by natural elastic. $15.00
