bookbinding

Spent my afternoon doing the bookbinding workshop and it was absolutely wonderful, I didn't realise how beneficial 2.5 hours doing something practical could be, it took my mind off some bad stuff and was really relaxing and I'm feeling calm and motivated to make some books and fill those books. When I got home I started to fill one of my little books with scraps from my desk.
