Hi Carol...well your book cover is beautiful! Love that you kept it original. The way you bound your pages was brilliant! Absolutely love every single page in your book. It's really hard to pick a favorite. It might just be the snow globe page! Your journal has your very special personal touch...a touch of Carol's Recrafted magic! Have a wonderful week ♥❄♥

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Aww thank you Jovi 😊 I think my snowman is my fave it was so simple and turned out so cute but it is hard to pick just one. I was so determined to use this book cover even tho my designs didn’t stay in my colour palette 😂 💕

[@CreatingwithJovi]

@@RecraftedByCarol I remember your goal to stay in a color pallet but it is hard for people like us to follow rules sometimes 😂😂😂 It is perfect just the way it is...I love that the pages are different in size too. It adds to the wonderful charm of it!

I so love your journal of stitchery! It is so fun to have a look at it! At school we had to do crossstitch and I hated it. But this looks kind of fun and I think I will give it a try!

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Claudia thank you very much 😊 yes do have a go, it is so relaxing. I will be doing some chilled out stitching with no rules projects this year. ❤

Hi Carol: Happy New Year! I love your bulky, beautiful, book of stitchery. So smart the way you bound your pages in. What a fun journey for you and me. Really enjoy watching you create. The wreath page stood out to me in your flip through. The book itself is so cool. Great job! 💜😎🇺🇸

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hey Joanne thank you very much 😊 oh the wreath page was a great experiment, I learned so much doing this challenge it’s been a fabulous journey for sure ❤️

[@fridayfriday3948]

Thank you for this video, lots of really nice ideas. I have this idea of a book that I want to make. I also love the idea of the pockets that you can take out and put things inside them, wonderful! Now to get over my procrastination!

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Haha yes I know that feeling too much thinking and not enough grab fabrics and play. I love making fabric books if you need any inspiration check out my slow stitching playlist 😁

Thank you! You too Jane 😊 I truly appreciate all your support for me and my channel ❤️

[@tricialinden]

You inspire me with your joy and creativity. Your journal is darling. Luv the idea of keeping the book cover 'as is' and the way you added the signatures. I'm glad I saw this before I finished mine so I can use your idea. ha ha. Mine may not be done until Easter....... I'm a bit behind.....

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Tricia aww thank you your comment has really made my day ❤ I’m not sure it’s my idea lol but it worked out pretty easy 😊

[@SusanHilesCreates]

Perfection is overrated Carol. I find wonky is best for handmade things. (I call my style wonky. Wonky is good. Lol). Your journal is such fun to see all done. Now onto volume 3!

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Susan yes I much prefer Wonky it’s much more my style 😊 thank you for the reminder ❤

[@Annewith-2n]

❤ it's incredibly lovely, Carol. I'll think of trying something like this... Could you tell me, how long does it take to make such pages?

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Anne thank you very much 😁 Oh you have perfect timing, as over on my stitching channel in December we are making a stitch along book and creating the pages ! Do come and join us it will be simple stitching and I’ll be going through it all step by step 💖

[@Annewith-2n]

Is there any advice you could give to a person, who had never tried collage stitching? (to me🤗🤗🤗)

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Anne Yes I would totally love for you come over to my wonky stitching channel 😁 link is in the description below video. I do lots of random collage, practising and just because stitching for fun. It’s all very beginner friendly using basic stitches and the aim is to just relax and enjoy the process.

[@athenac5296]

It would have been a shame to cover up the original front of the book, all lovely.

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Exactly ! I just couldn’t do it 😊😊
