I've made a few little sketchbooks recently.  Pamphlet style and bound using my sewing machine.  As simple as you can get!!

They are a handy little size for everyday use.  I love starting visual journals but tend to abandon them before I've used even a quarter of the pages.  My idea with these little booklets is that there aren't many pages, so perhaps they'll fill up before I get sick of them...  Plus they are fun to make :-)

Here are 7 random facts/habits about myself:

1.  Today marks the 10th year my partner Chris (aka Riscy) have been together.  He is my best friend and I love him more and more every day.  We are going out for curry tonight to celebrate :-)

2.  I have never wanted to be married.

3.  I was bought up as a Seventh-day Adventist.  I would probably still be one, except I don't think God exists, or any other higher or lower beings for that matter.

4.  I love making stuff.  But more than that, I love learning how things are made, thinking up stuff, planning, dreaming and starting projects.  I'm less inclined to actually finish things.  I need to work more quickly, more spontaneously and more playfully.  I will be focussing on this in the coming months.

5.  We are planning to travel to India later this year or early next year.

6.  I am a Civil Engineer.  My role involves planning and obtaining funding for road projects.  It is the most enjoyable and satisfying job I have had so far.

7.  Riscy thinks my biological clock might have started ticking because I can't seem to stop buying bedlinen, and he thinks it is a sign of nesting (where the hell did he get this terminology from anyway??).  I'm not so sure.  I bought some nice sheets earlier on this year and they were so nice compared to the old sheets we had from Target, that now, I just can't resist the urge to browse through bins of doona covers and sheets when ever we go to Harvey Norman or Myer.
