Look at this on my PHONE?! I think not. Must see ALL the visuals (the wee bouquets! The old house in want of love!) on the big desktop. OMG, or is that becasue I'm getting older?!

Would love to know if you are using the Indesign program for GNs with joy, or if you're resorting to sticky notes because it is more intuitive to move things manually?

I like the idea of doing it all in InDesign, but at the first draft stage, I also like being able to scribble in the pictures, just because my brain seems to be moving in different directions. Sometimes it's an expression I wish to remember or a composition. I think the InDesign template might be good for the next draft? Maybe? Though now I am wondering if the next draft needs to be a manuscript.

I love your mini bouquets! I don't have any miniature rooms, but I don't see why I couldn't put a mini bouquet on a window sill. I've added this to my list of things to create this week! Thank you. I have a friend who works at a quilt show in Oregon. Her mother makes miniatures and created an amazing replica of the quilt shop. Now they have a mini-quilt show in the mini-quilt shop every year. Quilters from all over the world submit tiny quilts. It's so fun. You can see lots of pictures on IG at #minimontavilla

Mini bouquets are very satisfying. Keeping an eye out for suitable little vases is also kind of fun. A thimble, a tiny glass jar, a little tiny handmade vessel... Thanks for the hashtag. The images are awesome! Such tiny work.
