Hi Guys,
Just a quick post today (by recent standards, hehe). My girlfriend Mel recently had a birthday, yay birthdays! For my birthday, back in August Mel got me this nifty craft book, so for her birthday I thought I'd make her a project from the book she gifted to me. Circular giving, I dig it!
So here's what I made for Mel, I don't think she'll mind me sharing with you.
I whipped her up a monogrammed covered notebook.
M for Marvelous Melissa.
Felt is so great to work with, I love that a clean cut can just be left, and that it won't fray or unravel.
A little Mary Engelbreit notebook tucked inside. Gotta love polka-dots!
Stitched all the way around, easy peasy.
This truly was a quick craft, start to finish about 2 hours including the monogram stitching and the applique to the front of the cover (which I stitched on by machine).
So yeah, how bout that for a quick craft? Quick, just like this wee little post!
Toodle-doo my dearies!
oxo,
Lisa

It is the cutest cover evah!
Your monogrammed book cover for Mel is lovely. I like the colors and blanket stitched edging.
Aw, I love it! I love working with felt as well. I've always had great results with felt projects!
Beautiful book cover Lisa! I love to craft too and just started a blog that I am going to add craft ideas too also, so I might just have to steal this idea. Great job and I'm sure you friend loved this gift. I also love the whole circle giving idea too!
