Free Feline Floss Holder by Delphine Doreau!

Hi all,
A few days ago I came across this cute kitten:
Free Feline Floss Holder by Delphine Doreau
Floss holder by Delphine Doreau

Isn't she adorable? She was made by Delphine Doreau, who very generously made a free printable version! You can find the page here. She does incredibly lovely work (a lot of it is even available as free downloads), so make sure to check out the rest of her blog, Le Lapin dans La Lune.

My First Hardbound Book

After making a few exposed-spine notebooks, I wanted to try making a hardbound book, with sewn endbands, rounded spine, endpapers, in other words: the lot :)
I learned loads from watching the videos by this kind gentleman, and there are so many!
And this is the end result:

My first hardbound book
 It turned out okay, nothing mind-blowing, with some flaws here and there, but there's one thing I really like about it: the entire text block consists of 1 sheet of A4 paper.
Which means the book is tiny :)
I wanted to see if it would be possible to make a book out of a single sheet of paper, and it turns out it is!
I have a few Tonner dolls, which are 16 inches (about 40 centimetres) tall, so I thought it would be cool to make the book fit their size. And it worked, I think :)

 I don't expect everyone to be familiar with Tonner dolls, so here's a picture with a standard size paperclip :)

Another Small Notebook

Made from leftover printer paper, recycled cardboard and some crumpled up kraftpaper. Also the first time I sewed around cord and made sewn headbands(!), thanks to the wonderful videos by this lovely lady.
