Mass Making - Junk Journal Toppers - Tina’s Weekly Workshop 84 Pt1

[@I_give_I_give]

GASP.....PERFECT!!!!! Just what I need!

[@Laura-kz8xz]

I had to look up the word "hessian" because I never heard of it before. I've always called it burlap and I love the smell of it!! I first learned how to embroider on it when I was a kid so it brings back such awesome memories. My dad used to refer to the fabric as "gunny sack" and used it to cover grass seed until it grew. Words and word origins are fascinating. Can't wait to try this with my overabundant fabric collection! Thanks, Tina! Another great session and always look forward to seeing which ring you are going to wear. You have the coolest rings!!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, yes I hadn't realised until I started doing videos and then hearing in the comments that apparently what we called hessian is burlap in the US, I much prefer the term burlap actually. Oh what a wonderful idea to embroider on it, I have never thought of that . Yes, aren't words and origins just fascinating? I love that he called it "gunny sack", that just sounds cool. Yes, we all have an overabundant fabric collection I think! Lol. Thank you, I just love my junky rings x

[@belindaosgood]

I needed to see this and am off to watch part 2. I struggle with what to top my journals with. I have also been fortunate to have been gifted a huge sack of upholstery samples, so this is perfect. Awesome inspiration. Thank you, Tina.

[@janinewoodhull3611]

No, I don't think your color combinations are rubbish. I like them. Thanks for sharing your process.

[@katherinehazard7580]

What a great idea! It might just be the push needed to start a journal! You see your mass made covers...and you are inspired to get started! Love these Miss Tina!!!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you Katherine, yes definitely just go for it! x

[@binkiewillis8203]

LOVE these! 💕 and yes these will absolutely make “covering covers” so much easier. They’ll hide a multitude of sins (and mistakes) that I usually end up making trying to get a booked covered initially. Thank you for doing this!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Yes, I really agree Binkie I am looking forward to having a bunch of thee on hand to use when making covers x

[@shirleygregory8458]

I always chuckle when you say something doesn't go together because I know it's going to turn out gorgeous! You always pull together things that I'd never think of putting together and they look beautiful! Can't wait to see how you finish these off. Take care!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Shirley, I filmed the 2nd part (and 3rd!) today, they look really nice now :-) . Take care also x

[@suemitchell1354]

Winter has been terrible for us in Missouri in the U. S., now it is flooding in many places. So nice to have craft videos to watch!

Couldn’t sleep, so I was thrilled to see this video come through! I love these! And I love the fact that when you’re done decorating them, they will look totally different. Creativity is amazing! And you are very creative! ❤️

[@lindahurlock-sewoneofakind6155]

Hi Tina, these toppers are great! I can’t wait to see how you finish them. I, too, struggle with the cover. I take forever to make decisions with covers. I loooove the yellow with the blue flowers fabric. I feel so bad for all kids going through this pandemic. I think they are suffering the most. I look at my Grandchildren and see how much they are affected and it breaks my heart. Hopefully when your son goes back to school he’ll feel some kind of normalcy coming back. The whole thing is just so hard. Now for something a little more light hearted. When you were talking about ironing I thought of one of my nieces. When she was about 4 or 5 years old, she asked Santa for an iron and ironing board for Christmas. My sister-in-law laughed when she told me about it. I was a bit confused and asked why that was so funny. She said, I don’t know how she knows what an iron and ironing board are because I don’t own either one of them and I don’t remember her ever seeing one 😂. Have a great day! Hugs 🤗

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, oh that is so funny, let's hope your niece got that ironing out of her system before she got older! No one wants to be ironing! Honestly I only iron coffee dyed paper. A friend of mine irons her bedsheets and everything!!! Lol . Hope you're having a great day too x

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

The topper sections are great. So glad you are doing this video as it's inspiring me to rethink my usual topper or cover ideas. These will be awesome.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you Angela. I am the same, I very rarely have a topper as such on a journal, so I am really looking forward to having a bunch of these on hand x

[@margieryne6220]

Hi, Tina, love to listen to you explain things!😁 like that one 😊 It’s cute the noises you make too.😊 So it’s almost spring there too? You live by the ocean, cool!😍 Love the blue! Tina, quit that, it’s pretty! 😁 I also love the way you chat with us!😍 Always beautiful! Hugs!❤️

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Margie. I am a bit of a chatterbox aren't I? Lol. Yes we are super lucky and live only about 9 miles from a super lovely sandy beach, we just love it down there. Take care x

My kids did the same (sleeping like all day etc) especially my teen so I to was happy when they got to go back to school to get them back around others.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Love these Tina, my granddaughter went back to pre school (in Scotland) last Monday, yesterday they sent all children home after one child tested positive for covid! So now my son, daughter-in-law and Emma now have to isolate until the end of the week! Sadly I can see this happening all over the UK as each school opens up and I fear it’ll be the new normal tfs xxx💕

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh that's not good is it? Like you say this is going to be happening constantly isn't it? I hope they are fine and don't have it, stay safe and well to you too x

[@donnaswisher8408]

I have to admit this was hard for me watch. I kept telling myself to just turn it off...but I couldn't. I had to see what color combinations you put together. I'm a bit obsessive about cutting straight 😂 so this was an exercise in tolerance because I know the name of the game in junk journals is grungy, funky, slap together imperfectly perfect. Difficult for me, but I'm getting there. 😁 TFS Tina. Hope you have a great day. 🙂

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, so sorry Donna for making this a tough watch!! Thank you for sticking with it, I hope you love the finished toppers after the other couple of videos. Hope all is well with you x

Tina , I'm with you, I don't iron either! Lol

Lol, x

[@kymlafontaine1162]

I don’t iron anything either. Much easier to throw them in the dryer with a damp facecloth. Take them out damp. And smooth them out. Or do like you. Work with them the way they are.

Designated Survivor with Kiefer Sutherland on NETFLIX is good! I've watched HTGAWM three times now and still find there's stuff I missed!

Thank you, my friend recommended Designated Survivor too, and I love Kiefer Sutherland. I’m not surprised that there were still things you’d missed in HTGAWM, it’s got so much going on x

It really is lovely having the spring weather isn't it? Fingers crossed our road map goes well for the kids. They don't realise they need routine as much as we do. I love your striped and polka dot fabrics😍. Don't know if it's your thing but Criminal Minds ha 15 seasons 😂. Have a great day💖

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh my gosh, 15 seasons!!! That sounds awesome, I will definitely check it out, Criminal Minds, it sounds up my street! Lol. Not because I'm a criminal, but anything remotely murdery or similar I just love. Haha. Yes, the kids really do need some proper routine don't they? Have a great day x

Oh fantastic idea, I saw Natasha at Treasure Books do some of those once, it's an awesome idea x

[@sararichards518]

These are so nice, they can be used as the base for embroideries or for fabric journals. Where did you get your upholstery samples? I like the idea of making just lots of bases and then doing the embellishments when the project is settled. I blame you for HTGAWM , it’s the most silly programme and each twist makes me laugh. And sex. And lies. Oy vey! as mum would have said. I had a tooth out last week - it had cracked. I’ve now got something called dry socket. Look it up. The pain is the worst pain I’ve ever had! I’m eating painkillers but you are a few minutes of relief in my day. The weather here is beautiful. I love the changing of the seasons as well. And Spring and Autumn. Take care 🥰

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Great idea to keep some of the bases and just decorate them up when you come to use them. I got my upholstery samples mainly from Laura Ashley when they were closing down. You can also get them in the Next Home stores. Yes, HTGAWM, it is very silly isn't it? Very Oy vey!!!! Lol, but really great to have something to watch with so many episodes, hours and hours of entertainment. Oh you poor thing, I remember having my wisdom teeth out, it was absolutely awful, when I came around from the anaesthetic I couldn't believe the pain! It was worse than childbirth! Haha. Seriously I hope it heals quickly. Yes, it feels sooooo good to see the pretty flowers and the sunshine. Take care x

today the governor of texas said all businesses can open at 100% AND masks were to b optional. while i’m glad for the businesses to b able to open and hopefully survive, i’m mortified that he coupled it w the no masks required thing. i think he should’ve staggered those 2 things. if anyone needs me i’ll b hiding under my bed!
