Today I was very tired and thought I'd end up achieving nothing.. the opposite has been true.
During this week I have busily made some book fronts and backs and got pages ready for binding, ie. stabbing holes in the pages at regular intervals..
After creating a small book to trial the technique I got brave and had a go at my first 'proper' book. I even waxed the thread I used and for the very first time used a curved needle!! So then I moved onto the second book and lastly the third one. I have to admit I'm pretty happy with the result and can now happily show my first year long 'drawing a day' drawings!! All bound and neat looking..
It has also inspired me for the next set of 'drawing a day' books, which I plan to make before I actually draw this time. I've been collecting the envelopes we receive in the mail, you know the ones, they have a window in them!!! lol... what better way to make use of them than to draw, scribble, doodle all over them.... I'm rather looking forward to starting.. after I've made the book of course..

They look very neat, and your covers are lovely. well done. what's with the dogs? i worry about other people's dogs also, esp those left in closed cars, that really upsets me.
