make a coptic bound notebook

Why don’t I just get on with it?
This was supposed to be a fun and creative goal!!
Why do I do this to myself?
Yesterday afternoon I had so much time on my hands, and what did I do with it? Big fat Nothing – I even ended up watching B work on his computer.
I am as ashamed as I am annoyed with myself right now.

The reason I wanted to make a coptic stitch bound notebook is because I generally like all things paper and I needed a creative project (for various reasons).
I found several tutorials on Youtube for this, all easy enough, and I tried, and I failed. I tried again, and I failed again, and I gave it all up.

Because the whole process took about half an hour of my precious time, it’s more than clear I definitely need to work on my perseverance and not get so discouraged so easily and quickly.

I’ll give this as many tries as I need to this weekend. Lesson learned, for now.
