Brown Note Book Cover 棕色记事簿书套

有天，那喜欢手工艺的外甥女看了我的m.布手作之note book cover记事簿封套篇之后说想要，要为她的记事本加外套。我说，不如乘假期来KL玩的时候，我教你好不好？于是我们就约定了。但假期不长，来KL几天，节目又多，就只好游玩回来之后才动手做。第一天虽然累，但我们还是兴致勃勃的选布和配件，讨论设计花样，量本子的尺寸，还把布剪好随时可缝制。可之后的几天我们都太累了，我只好教她制做步骤和方法，然后答应下回到星国时把做好的书套给她带去。就只能这样了。不久我应允承诺，她很欢喜收到这份小礼物。要好好爱惜喔 ！

little note book cover 小记事本封套

把碎布凑一凑，两个简单的封套就完成了。为了随手就能笔记，顺手缝了插笔的位子，以防到处找笔。这两小本是我记录手工肥皂事宜的册子。密密麻麻整整齐齐。

无花果和百香果 Fig & Passion Fruit

百香果是秀群还有凤仪的孩子送的；吃过以后把种子留下埋在盆里，放在没强烈阳光的阳台上，希望会发芽，结果真没让我失望。一颗，两颗，三颗，发芽长成苗，可惜没更大的空间让它们生长。
无花果是玮的大哥大嫂从巴黎带回来的手信，吃过以后想种起来，所以又小心把种子埋在土里，同样放在阳台上，结果也没让我失望，不久之后就发了芽，一颗，两棵，三棵，有六颗耶，开心！只是同样的烦恼又来了，没有适合的空间让它们成长，怎么办？
原本也没想太多，就 ‘天生天养’ 好了，在小空间能长成什么样就什么样吧，就像以前种木瓜，南瓜，黄瓜，苦瓜，小辣椒一样，小小株都开花不结果，然后黯然枯萎。可怜！
哪天忽然灵光一闪，为何不拿回玮家种，反正他家屋前的空地早已荒废多年，枯树、杂物、杂草做堆，杂乱得很。倒不如清理干净好让土地有用武之地。就乘这次清明节回乡扫墓之时，安排好时间做整理和栽种的工作吧。告诉玮我的想法，他二话不说支持得很，因为他也很喜欢园艺，所以百香果需要的支架就是他的杰作啦！
我们一起清理，然后将行动变成家庭活动，玮的妹妹，他大哥的两个小瓜都开心加入，大家一起清理杂物，拔草，锄地，让空间成为小小的开心园地，暂时远离电脑和网络。终于我的百香果和无花果苗有 ‘栖身之地’ 了。小小园地成型，但愿它们能在最少的照顾之下健康茁壮成长。告诉两个小瓜，希望他们能照顾这土地让它成为实在的 ‘开心农场’，别只是上网 ‘种菜’。加油啦孩子们！加油啦我的果树苗。
