Bookmaking 101...

 Well, this is awkward. I seem to be having some issues either with my desktop computer or Blogger. I'm not sure which, but I'm a bit frustrated. I'm unable to upload photos right now. ugh

I went to bed early last night because I developed an ocular migraine. They don't hurt, but I get a zigzag image that travels across my sight line. On one occasion, I also had an experience with speech aphasia, which was frightening. No lasting damage, and also no pain, but frightening nonetheless because you're trying to speak and know that it's not coming out as your brain is saying it. All anyone outside of you hears is gobblydeegook. Thankfully, that didn't happen last night. Rather than wait it out, I went to bed at 9:45 and there I remained until I got up this morning. Only to find that my computer is acting up. 

This Zoom class I'm taking is to learn how to assemble and bind my own books. I've had this harebrained idea to add needlework to covers of journal-type books to share and sell. I'm not sure at this point whether or not it's a pipe dream, though. 

The class is available through a website: https://handmadebookclub.com, and the instructor, Ally is very knowledgeable. I'm really enjoying the sessions, which each last about 90 minutes, and then have homework.

Yesterday was the second session of a four session class...and if I can ever get my photos to load, I'll share them here. 

If you've read this far without a photograph, Thanks! Perhaps my computer is suffering from a migraine, too?

Anyway, I'll be continuing my class homework, and if my eyes are up to it today, I'll do a little more stitching. Otherwise, I'll just take it easy and do absolutely not much for a bit. I'm just hoping February doesn't turn into the dumpster first I experienced in January. So far, this year is off to a less-than-stellar start!

See you tomorrow...or later if the photos will load. (I really don't want to shop for a computer right now!)
