Making Multiple Journals - Part 4

[@joannedonovan9489]

I'm really enjoying watching you do these. Thank you!

[@wendyfair6888]

So glad you didn't re-injury yourself. Be careful moving your machine back and forth. We need you to keep working I love this series.

[@tinajones3157]

I really love your eco dyed papers. They are perfect in these journal. Jealousy all over the place☺️

[@aprilcarter749]

Thank you Mrs. Gayle for the information on the pad. 🤗

[@juneribbons5196]

Love the laces that you chose for them. They match so well. I love your creativity and how pretty the lace flips are !! I cannot watch and craft at the same time. When I've tried that I loose to much that you are saying and showing. I guess it has something to do with the dyslexia I have. It's always been that way and that's probably a good pert of why 1st and second.grades were so hard for me. Itvwasnt untill after I learned to read that learning became easier for me, but I still learn best by watching how things go to get her. Thats probably why I can stream your videos watching for hours on end. I'm learning as I watch.

[@alyce-kayruckelshaus1224]

Second time through and it's still not boring. I watched the first time as an overview and loved it. Bill was commenting the entire time, engrossed in the soap opera qualities of your plumbing woes. This time, I've got it running in the background as I do the same steps you are. (I've learned that if someone has already figured out how to do something, it's wise to do it their way the first time, then make my own adjustments the next time through.) So this time, he's missing out because he chose to go do man stuff. (I think he was just getting overwhelmed by all the estrogen.) Thanks so much for your generosity in sharing your expertise ... and your stories.

MAKING 10 PRAYER JOURNALS HAVE ENJOYED WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS GREAT IDEAS THANKS

[@mrsgigi8363]

Love the lace! So fun to see you craft. Have been on vacation and missed you. 💜😃

[@nancylemieux8058]

Gayle, these are just coming along wonderfully...I guess it is not so intimidating to do multiples and I will just think of it as 'stages'...each step along the way...gets you closer to getting all of them finished at the same time!

[@teresaware7211]

Oh no, what a weekend for you! I fell last Monday morning at 6 a.m. in the dark face first. Bruised up pretty good.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh, friend, I’m so sorry!! No bruises here that I’ve seen, just sore muscles. Nothing that a little ibprophen won’t help! Haha! Gosh we need to be more careful!! ❤️

[@joannedonovan9489]

Superior Threads has good needles. I use #14 & #12.

[@LadyLeda2]

What a horrible experience Gayle. I will remember this if ever that truck shows up at my house!!! Your covers of these journals are so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@WoodlandInspired]

Wow that was horrible to go through. So happy you were able to get back to your journals and chill.... Tfs Hope your shoulder is okay.

[@ABlessedJournal]

KZbin is taking my thumbs up off your videos!!! Has anyone else mentioned this? I thumbs up all your videos the second they start playing because I know I will love them!!!!! You are so fun to watch, craft with and learn from!! I love making these vintage journals and hopefully soon I can have a KZbin as well and sell them. I will definitely keep this thumbs up, if YT will allow it!!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Gosh, Jennifer, that’s weird that the thumbs up are disappearing. I have no clue what that’s about!! But thank you so much for still hitting the thumbs up! I really appreciate it! ❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Gosh, Jennifer, that’s weird that the thumbs up are disappearing. I have no clue what that’s about!! But thank you so much for still hitting the thumbs up! I really appreciate it! ❤️

[@bluechill9956]

Oh Gayle you are so much fun to watch and craft with. I love how these are turning out. I am still on step one, deciding on my papers. LOL. It’s hard not to want to go buy some of the same things you have. Oh my goodness,, you uhh ave a wonderful collection of treasures. I know I would have panicked if my treasures were threatened to be greased up and ruined. Bless your heart ♥️. Never a dull moment! Sending you hugs and well wishes for your shoulder! Shana

[@DebbieZagarit]

O Gayle what a time you have had. So hope that's it with the back up. Hope your arm heals quickly. nothing worse. Loving this series so much. Crafting along with you and watching your process is so much fun. Your journals are amazing. Using the same Stamperia pad but the birds and house for a Winter journal. Do get some calm down, peaceful time soon sweetheart Hugs and Love xxx

[@CarolMartineArt]

Lace heaven, Gayle. Carol

[@conniesholl3409]

So glad you didn't hurt yourself when you fell! The journals are looking fantastic!

Luckely your shoulder is oké, hope it stans oké after a couple of days too. I love to watch your video's, you are so cozy telling us how you work and decide everything and showing this beautiful proces...very inspiring! Thank you! I can imagine the smell off the Grease in your home yak! We live in our house for 34 years and our kitchen snik was also not running good for a couple off years. My husband couldn't help it any more and...when i was away to France with two friends...for the first time alone since 34 years off mariage..he also let a plummer do the job...and my kids and husband had to clean eveything! Our tubes are to big and the hot water of our tub is not poweful enough so the Grease is going to drift on top ...we have to do that with a plummer every three years now...grrrr I use kitchen paper towels even time to clean the dist before it Goes in the dishwasser! So good of you to to both what you want to do...walking or making gorgeous journals. So that was a long story from me ...just know i love your story's and sewing you crafting! Thanks again for inspiring you have beautiful items to use! Hope you understand my bad English sorry! One question...what is the brand off your papercutter ...is it Fiskers? I have one but not one with a rollerblade ( is that the name?) have to buy a new one soon. Greetings from the Netherlands Maia

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Maia! We are “grease sisters” it sounds like!! My cutter is a Fiskars. It’s very old and I don’t know the model. But I love it...it cuts through everything!! ❤️

[@Valkennestblogspot]

Grease sisters haha yes we are! Thank youfor your answer about the cutter. Have a Nice crafty day! Greetings Maia

[@karinefrederickx6460]

Hey Gayle, glad you're ok! Trying to kiss the floor, it is not a good idea, it's a painful one … as is kissing the stairs, believe me! I love the laces and enjoy watching the video. Thank you !

[@PetraLemié]

Good morning from a rainy Germany, cant wait to see the next step!!!

[@janedilley9538]

love these. been stopping video and working along with you. having so much fun.thanks. so sorry about your plumbing even though months ago

[@mprairiedale]

Eek what a time you have had!! But the journals are looking lovely!! Thanks for the video!

[@joytudor6886]

I bet after his grease shower, he will wear raincoat hat & all. Hope he heeds your advice. 😂 I’ve not made a journal yet, but watching these tutorials is sure helping my confidence. I have seen someone, sorry I can’t remember whom it was, but she dyed lace with avocado skins. I tried it & it worked. It turns it a pink/salmon sorta color. I think I’m going to try purple onion skins & see if it’s purple. Just thought I’d share that. Thank you for your tutorials.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks, Joy!!! Go for it, sweetie, you can do this journal thing!! ❤️

[@alilbitshabbyjubri6942]

Sorry to hear about the problems You have had and I'm so glad You are ok from the fall. I grew up with my Dad owning a plumbing business and I do know a little about Your problems. My Dad NEVER came home smelling good and he had to take showers in the basement before entering the main house, LOL! I'm following You as You lead us thru the steps You take and thank You so much for sharing w/us! Judy

[@debbivaughn1313]

Your journals keep getting lovelier. I'm enjoying watching the process of multiples. So sorry to hear about your fall and the sink disaster. Hope things will settle down for you. Tfs.

[@ddladybug]

Oh Gayle...you are so patient...I would have lost my mind...plumbing/plumbers 😏 ~~~ glad you didn’t hurt yourself ... the TN’s are beautiful... all your laces - “yummy” ... ❤️🐞

[@thecraftynook5203]

Love these journals Gyle they are so beautiful. I love watching your process..thank you again for sharing. You are very inspiring.

[@VintageShabbyChic]

Hi Gayle hope you doing ok gosh am glad you did not hurt yourself too badly!! I am noticing its been 2 days since your last video so I hope there are no additional happenings and that you are just resting :) I missed watching part 4 until now because I too had my own goings on....trials and tribulations I tell ya!! My weakness is lace and yip was drooling at the beautiful laces you have used. These travel journals are going to be an amazing end product! Crafty hugs Janine :)

[@AvaShirley]

You know...I was wondering the same thing. Usually the next day and the third day of a fall is when you are the most sore. I do hope Gayle you are OK....We are all worried about you!!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks for the good thoughts, Janine! I’m just fine! I was out of town again for a granddaughter’s volleyball tournament, so skipped a day of videos! I’m uploading one now though!! Takes more than a little tumble to keep this old girl down!! Haha! Truly thanks for your thoughts....so sweet of you!! Hugs! ❤️

[@sammcgowan76]

Glad it's all sorted now. Yes I love these videos so relaxing and inspirational to watch you work xxx

[@chrispfeifer9235]

We had those weeks in September. Thanks for still finding time to do a video. I love the lace on the edges. TFS

[@fabriclaceinkpapermicheles8251]

Thank you so much, Gayle for sharing your expertise! Love these journals!

[@donnapusti7859]

I'm really loving this series. It came just in time. I've been working on a group of December dailies and was having a bit of trouble getting organized. Very helpful. Thanks, Gayle!

[@roseanndeighan5872]

Hi Gayle, Glad the drain fiasco is done with! Wow, who knew it would be such a mess! Yes your videos are interesting...not boring😍 Thank you for sharing so much!

[@jillgantz9218]

I am crafting two Christmas TNs right along with you. I pretty much have spent the whole day with you! We had a disaster at our house this morning, I was getting ready to sew around my cover and my daughter started hollering for me upstairs. I ran up the steps and discovered as she was painting her toenails the cat had tipped over her burgundy nail polish and it spilled on my cream carpet. YIKES! Sooooo....calmly we poured nail polish remover over and dabbed and pretty much got it up. It was pretty stinky too! Glad I didn't have to clean out storage area or anything. Not boring at all, Gayle. Lets me piddle around with my project at the same time.

[@cathycourtney8887]

Love this process Gayle. learning more and more from you. thanks a lot. the journals are beautiful

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

So sorry. It’s amazing how the clog in the sink can ruin your week. I had like a waterfall of bad things last week. Hopefully it’s all over. One car broke down with my 18 yr old son and 14 yr old daughter coming home at 11 pm on the highway. Then my front tire blew out so I had to buy 2 tires I hadn’t budgeted for. Then, my stove caught on fire while I was making dinner. Thank goodness I hadn’t made the roast I planned on making because it would have caught on fire while I wasn’t home. The entire heat element on the bottom of the oven literally shoots flames when it’s plugged it. Super weird. Hope both our luck is better from her out! Loving this series.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh geez, Jamie, your week made my week look like a picnic!! Here’s to a better one this week! 🥂❤️

[@cherimckinnie3767]

What can happen next, lol! Glad your fall didn't end up in the ER, now that grease -city nightmare is over, life can only go up! Journals are very pretty, love the Christmas lace, very nice!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

cheri haha! Nowhere to go but up!! Great day today, so over the hump I think!! ❤️

[@kimsumrack7499]

Still loving this 😊 I love your stories too lol

[@tuthillg]

We are so bad, Gayle. I don't replace my sewing machine needles either until they break. Oopsie! LOL! TFS!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

We Gayle/Gail’s have to stick together....even when it’s being a bad sewing machine mom!! 😂❤️

[@tfntexas]

Glad you’re ok after your fall...we don’t bounce so well as we get older do we? I hate this getting older thing but I guess I have no choice since I still love being here lol. Your journals are coming along so beautifully! I love the colors....

[@henrybrown2382]

I have some information for you on your sewing machine. DO NOT oil without checking your manual, if it a computer machine they are not oiled. You do need to change your needle if it is dull. Not changing it can make it harder to sew easily. You have a good machine and you need it to sew the wonderful projects you do. Love you tutorials . Sue Brown

[@alyce-kayruckelshaus1224]

Wow, I was about to oil my machine. So glad I saw this!

[@pinkrose1990]

Thank you for all the great lessons on making journals :}

[@emileechristensen7342]

Love it!! Wish I could craft with you!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Me too friend! ❤️

[@roksannastephens4375]

Oh gosh honey I'm glad your ok... I had a similiar situation of maintance spraying water on my carpet...but mine was from the steam pipes...ugh...

[@craftyshamrockdesignsbyshe5871]

Beautiful!!

[@cazyoung5887]

Beautiful xx

[@barbarawalston3125]

I love watching your videos. I have wanted to do a journal for years and now I feel like, maybe I can. Do you realize you didn't tie the threads on the last paper you put lace on the edge.

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

Gorgeous lace!!! Happy you didn't hurt yourself. I have the same problem with my sink. Yuck. And the guy ruined my dishwasher when he came to unclog it. :(

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

ChicagoDreamer5 😩😩😩. Yuck! Plumbing issues!! 🙄

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

I meant to ask -- if you can answer, don't if you can't. What happened to Crafty Irena? I thought probably her mother passed away? I miss her videos as well.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

ChicagoDreamer5 I know her mother did pass away. I think she said so in one of her videos, but I don’t know why she isn’t making videos any more. She does post on JJJ on FB sometimes. Yep, miss her! ❤️❤️

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

[@janaaeschliman5629]

Well Gayle, I’ve had one heck of a few days too. I drove 4 1/2 hours to see my kids & grandkids then drove another 3 1/2 hours to visit a friend. As soon as I got to my friends I hurt my shoulder... bad. Drove back to my kids house went to see an orthopedic surgeon & found out I tore my rotator cuff. Now I’m still at my kids house, waiting to schedule surgery. Do I have surgery here or go back home to find a surgeon there. Oh my goodness! In the meantime I’m just sitting watching your videos, which is a good thing but have nothing to work on. I’ll be glad to have all this behind me.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh sweetie! What a dreadful time!! Is there a full moon or what? Good luck with your surgery! You might know from watching my channel that I had shoulder surgery last spring. My advice...do your home exercises from PT religiously after surgery! You’ll be back at it before you know it! I’ll keep you in my prayers! 🙏❤️

[@teresaware7211]

We don’t mind watching you change your needle ! lol

[@theramblincrafter]

So sorry you're having an 'odd' couple of days...hubby and I kept dropping things today, so I kind of understand what you're going through! LOLHugs~~Chelle

[@cindymatthewsarrowdalearts6449]

First, glad your shoulder didn't get hurt more seriously in the fall. And very glad you didn't have an even bigger mess to clean up! I'm wondering about your sewing machine needle - do you use a ball point (yellow band) needle? You don't need it for paper - a plain one would be better for that, but when sewing through those polyester laces, the ball point would serve you better - probably about an 11. Just a thought. :)

[@mariallano7157]

Hi Gayle, I love all your tutorials!! You are a great teacher. Would love a LGB special order for my granddaughter. How can I make a special order with you?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Maria, I do all my journal business through my Etsy shop. I’ll give you the link here. I do have a long list of custom orders to complete, but can add you to the LBG list if you like. Https://www.etsy.com/shop/CinnamonT ❤️

[@mariallano7157]

Thank you Gayle.

[@valyvalou2270]

Hello Gayle Good to see you didnt hurt yourself too much 😃. The question that I had from a couple of videos ago you touched on the subject very quickly, so now I can ask my question hahaha. The overhanging of papers in journals ... I can understand the basics ...putting lots of papers in a journal is reason for overhanging ( hope I got that right ). In your video u just cut off and there didnt seem to be that much of an overhanging... (like mine and yet all same width). Question when you sew the middle of journal does your paper bring the "overhanging" material in a bit ... Am I doing something wrong that my paper does have a couple of cms overhang ? (Sorry no inches in the land down under lol). Would love to hear your advice and hear if it happens to any other followers. Cheers Val

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Valy, the middle pages were maybe a quarter of an inch to wide. I may not have had to cut them, but they were just a bit too long for me. The first page lace sure does hide a lot! Yes, when sewing in the signature it does “pull” the papers back a bit. I try to get them as close as possible, but figure the lace will cover any slight overages. I would trust what you feel on yours. If you feel it’s too much of an overage, trim them down slightly. If it feels okay, just leave it. Hope that helps a little, my friend!! ❤️

[@valyvalou2270]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct Thank for the quick answer beautifull lady😀. I love how you are so ready to help others..including this aussie ahaha. I will re look at my journal and see what is best to do.... big hugs to you my friend

[@deletethischannel16]

Gayle, I am making the notebooks along with you. How do go about pricing the notebooks. I’ve never seen any on Etsy that compares to yours. It’s a lot of paper, lace, and time. What is a fair price? Thank you for taking time to teach this wonderful art form. I’m hooked.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

White Oak Golden Retrievers I sold the TNs made here for $40 plus shipping. Hope that helps! ❤️

[@aprilcarter749]

Your journals are so beautiful. I would like to know what is the name of the paper pad you showed at the end? Love the laces. Tfs.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

April Carter it’s the Prima Lavender paper pad. Hobby Lobby has it. ❤️

[@bettylongshore9594]

I am really liking this "making multiple" thing! I've been watching, but haven't commented. This may be the way to go, but I don't think I would be good at doing as many as you are! Maybe 5 would be better for me....I'm going to give it a try!!!!!! It would sure be nice when finished though!!!! What is the name of your etsy store?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Betty! My Etsy store is www.etsy.com/shop/CinnamonT ❤️. Thanks for your interest! ❤️

[@bettylongshore9594]

That's right!!!!! I knew I had it in my brain at one time, but it just wandered away from me!!!!!!!!

[@donnajenks7361]

Hi Gayle!! I was wondering what kind of paper you use when you are making the coffee dyed paper? Thank you so much! 🙂

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Just plain old cheap Walmart copy paper. 😁❤️

[@donnajenks7361]

Thank you 😊

[@sharoncarroll8892]

You probably know about using baking soda and white vinegar to keep the drains clean .I hope you are o.k. from your fall.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Sharon, yes! The plumber said our grading is not what it should be and our house is old. We’ve only been here 7 years, so I’m blaming the grease on all the other people that owned it over the last 50 years!! Haha! ❤️

[@rhodalewis2766]

Oh, I feel for you with the clog. We had that happen years ago and I will never forget that smell - it's NASTY. And it was caused from bacon grease being poured down the drain by the previous owner!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Rhoda, yep, ours too! I never ever pour grease down the drain! And you’re right....I will never forget that smell!! Yuck!! ❤️

[@SageDeerborn]

I hope your shoulder is better by now since I am a little behind on your videos. Sage

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

It’s all good, Sage! Thank you! ❤️

Gayle where did you buy your glass Tim holtz fit your table

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

My glass mat? It’s not Tom Holtz. Just some off brand from Amazon. ❤️

[@delawurl5938]

I'm a little scared to start making these TN's..........people are having small catastrophes! lol all joking aside, I hope you are fine. I do have a question on the construction of the TN. since there is no real spine, do you notice the pages end up uneven due to the "fold" factor? It's happened to me making small journals out of old pages. The edges of the pages end up appearing to be cascade-looking (is that a word???) also, as an old, retired nurse, didn't you have shoulder surgery a while back? Rt arm, I think. Just sayin'

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Dela, I make my pages almost an inch thinner than the cover to account for the “fold” factor. Also, the lace helps hide any cascading. Hope that helps a little! ❤️

[@rvlucky2909]

How come you just don't glue it would that be easier

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Easier maybe, but doesn’t look as nice in my opinion. When you put a lot work into the small details, it really shows in the final journal. That said, gluing is an option if you don’t have a sewing machine. ❤️

[@golden-author6691]

Hi , Gayle how are you? It's Alesia I love your videos especially your craft with me videos and they are very interesting they are not boring, I love watching them because I have been learning a lot from you dear , and you are very funny and cheery I actually craft two Christmas TN along with you. BTW, I have been meaning to ask you a question? I would like to share with you something I made but I call it a thank you gift for that I learned from you but how do I send you my thank you gift?. Let me know how I can do this for you before the Christmas break. God bless you. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, Fernanda! I’m good! Still a little sore in places, but nothing that a little time won’t heal! Probably wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to slow down, but it’s not really in my personality!! 😁❤️
