#esp because my step mom gave me my first published article that my dad printed out

Forgot how much I miss book people and artists. Like this dude makes books out of recycled packaging for his sketchbooks and I just...loved it. Like yes, let me cut up a old coffee bag and turn it into something new or a tea box. Not to mention he showed us all these different stitching's people have come up with and I just...I wanna make them. Let me sew lotus patterns into the side of a doughnut box. One problem however...what to do with all these handmade books? I do not want to become a zucchini farmer.*

#mumblings #*I think it's zucchini but essentially you end up with so many of them you just dump them in people's mail boxes #😅 i love it but at the same time I don't need a thousand notebooks I will never use because I made them myself #I saw this having screwed up my first book because I forgot what a pain thread is #and how I tend to go through the thread #and then knot it because I stop paying attention #so probably not going to make all these cool things #But it would be nice to unroll my paper and actually put all of it to use #the urge to also print out my stuff and make a portfolio is strong too #again. because my graduation portfolio I handmade #but I don't know how to print actual text and do a stab binding the proper way #there's not enough space in the margins #but oh I am 1000% noodling that idea #esp because my step mom gave me my first published article that my dad printed out #and lol I have some ridiculous fics that it might be kind of fun to see physically #but no printer would survive that #now though I gotta dig out my needles because time ran out so I have a half finished book #also library is so dangerous #I found a cookbook that is for holidays and events #and the amount of steps and details that goes into everything...they're all like 5 day projects #but I still want to make some #like the baker teaches you how to make edible moss for earth style cakes or big dessert terrariums #the issue is half the household is off sweets atm and I don't know who to like impart these on
