Another Favorite Hobby

Yes I like to call it a hobby, NOT an obsession. I do love to create, re-do, and browse various organizers and their components. I'm rarely satisfied with pre-packaged ones like Daytimers, and I truly get in the zone when designing or re-doing one of my own. I'm actually a little particular about the components I require and making my own almost always insures I get what I need...until the next inspiration comes along!

This organizer was created because I needed something just the right size - and although I'm not usually drawn to square shapes, somehow this ended up 9x9 inches. There is a fine line between big enough to have a workable calendar size, but small enough to fit into my current bag/purse (another "hobby).

It is constructed from tapestry remnants gorilla glued to foam core. I just recently had to add the brown webbing spine because I didn't allow enough fabric in the original design and it gapped open. At the same time I added the closure system (which has to be quick and easy to use - velcro would have been better, but too noisy).
