Fabric Journal - nearly finished!

A week or two back in this post I shared the beginnings of a fabric journal.
The ultimate in shabby chic!

This weekend I worked at finishing it and I'm nearly there..

 I grabbed as many pretty papers as I could, embellishments, photos and ran it all through the sewing machine - no glue here!

 I'm hoping to use it as a sort of memory book, remembering quotes, keeping tickets - 

and all that stuff (what my sons refer to as "pretty but pointless!"

 To bind the pages, it was hand sewing long stitches and now I'm following lovely Jude's idea of sewing buttons along the spine! 

 Just a few more to go....

Happy Monday everyone!
