And..... number 4 Journal The Song

Just finished listing my fourth journal in my mini series of tiny books. I love making these, from making the pages to stitching each little page into place!
It is autumn now, the leaves are turning and I found some which had blown around my garden yesterday. I love the colour of the yellow leaves and the dusty pink of the gum leaves.



This is my favourite time of year, the time when it is getting darker and hygge beckons. Is it cultural appropriation for a woman from Northern Ireland living in Australia to adopt hygge?

Anyway, here is a look at The Song. It has been listed on my Etsy shop here.
