Not a great deal going on around the home-front unless you consider shuffling all the furniture multiple times exciting. I had some unexpected time off so we arranged the living-room in a new and different way, did the same to the master bedroom and my storage shed and are aiming to do the office and the Monkeys bedroom soon as well.
You may be wondering, or not, what happens when I get to a point of near 2/3 of a journal complete? The answer would be that of course I must get started making or procuring the next one to start in. This would be why I have a stack of journals all in various stages of completion... I will be making it a goal to finish one before I start the next one again this New Years and it did work, for a while...
On to the picture portion of the post.
The stack is actually missing a couple that were made for specific projects but since I have put those projects on hold I didn't consider them "current.
The next book to bind already has signatures and the cover paper selected. I need to get the cover boards measured and cut, paper them and stab little holes in everything to get it ready for binding. I have decided that the journals I make for myself either have to be a Coptic variant or composition style binding. I just don't work so well if I can't open it up to lay flat. Loving the old maps to make the covers with, this one will be a map of Africa dated 1965.
