DIY Weekly Planner

I wanted a planner big enough to do my Bullet Journal in and also draw/doodle in and add stickers and cut-outs from magazines.  The big planners are about $20, so I decided to make my own!  I used a 60 page XL notebook 7" x 10".  I included December 2014 so I can start using it next week.  It was time consuming to set up, but I'm really happy with it.  I even made my own little month tabs and the cover.  I included envelopes as pockets on the inside covers.  Here are the pictures of my planner:

Weekly Poem: "Studious"

Studious

I’ll be Aleister Crowley,

master of the dark arts,

someday.

Who am I kidding?

I’ll always be me,

with the smell of kitty farts lingering,

with no crystal ball in sight.

Weekly Poem: "The Radio"

The Radio

I’m too honest.

That’s my excuse.

Why not hurt your feelings

while I’m at it?

Digging my own grave

with my big mouth.

Just give me a shovel,

better yet, a microphone.

Kitten Pictures!

Josie a.k.a. Josephine, 5 1/2 months.

Leo, 4 months old.

New Kittens!

We went "to town" today and got 2 new kittens.  One we named Josephine (5 1/2 months), she likes to run up and down the stairs, white with torti markings.  The other is a 4 month boy cat named Leo, a tabby.  He's a shy boy and is hiding under the bed.  They both purr and like to cuddle.  Yay!  They are both fixed and have all their shots.

For those who didn't know, Betty Boop passed on about a month ago.  I was going to wait 'til after the Holidays to get new kitties.  As it is I have to borrow money from my mom to make my car payment this month, paid for kittens instead!

Pictures soon!

Weekly Poem: "Duty Free"

Duty Free

Coughs and chills,

feeling ill.

Sneezing uphill,

dripping downhill.

Last night I rock & rolla’d,

today I got Ebola.

Skirt #2

I sewed this skirt a couple weeks ago and am finally getting around to posting a picture of it.  I rushed it a little.  I could have double-stitched the hem, but I didn't.  Gotta remember to slow down!  I'm wearing the skirt today even though it's raining.  Red cotton batik, McCall's pattern #M6567 

Weekly Poem: "When the Elastic Broke"

When the Elastic Broke

on my Fae wings.

Once removed,

no longer a Hippie Fairy Princess,

mere mortal,

like on the other 364 days.

In a small town bar,

bored out of my skull,

in spite of the eye candy

in the form of a local band,

Bremen.

The King and Queen of Hearts

play pool on the right.

A sexy skunk and a dancing fool

strut their stuff on the left.

After fries and five 7Ups,

I tell my friends, a devil and a leprechaun,

I just want to go home.

I just want to go home.
