I decided to catch up in one day, and lets just say that did not work. To keep track I thought I would glue in the daily calendar pages, ten days of them. After the glue was dry I discovered that I glued in the wrong dates.. too late! Then I took out red acrylic paint and swirled it on to cover up the dates. Unless I layered it on very thickly it would not cover much up. So I had to do two pages at a time and let them dry for a while... grrr... the dates still show. That's when I took the zen approach. Deep breath or two, and some red thread. I figured I'd add some thread and stitch the pages. Just a plain running stitch in red cotton thread from one page to the other. After that was done, I glued the ends and a few other spots; and then took out a red pen and doodled a bit. In the end I am kind of happy with my accidental experiment, it looks kind of cool. Here are the results..

Very cool outcome. You might also thread paint over the numbers in the red blobs! That would erase them permenantly. Have fun.
Great sketches. I like the red on the white background.
it doesn't only look kind of cool: IT IS COOL!!
nice colors. you know, if you didnt tell us the numbers were supposed to represent the date, we just would have thought they were a decorative device. I like your solution.
Cool! A really good idea! In some places, I can't tell the difference between stitching and doodles. Can I see them in person?
Great solution to a "problem". They look great!
