On occasion I just want to hang out in my studio but don't really feel like working on a long project. Either I don't have a lot of time or the attention span. Lately when I've felt this way I whip up a bunch of little bookmarks. I pull out a few sheets of pretty paper, some ink and a few stamps and start cutting, folding and stamping away.
I have one for a few of the books I'm reading now. If my paper supply allows I'll coordinate the colors to the book to function almost like a bookplate. I like to have a few on hand for birthday cards and such as well. They work well for holding gift cards or money.
This picture reminds of a quilt block, which reminds me that I should have a new quilting book any day now. I can't say I've done much quilting but I can always learn and maybe this book will help me. When it arrives I'll have to make one of these super cute bookmarks to match.
