For those of you who don’t know. This is not a solo operation. I have a helper. She’s 5 and she loves to cut up every scrap piece of leather and ribbon and glue them all together. She does a great job of it. She’s learning to read. She asked, for her 6th birthday, if she could have her very own big girl Bible to learn to read in it. Since she’s the number one helper, she gets to help build it. She’s taking more of an upfront role this time. She has completely designed it. She picked out the leathers, the art gilding, the end sheets, and the ribbons for her first rebind. She’s getting to dye page edges and do a lot of the work herself with close supervision. It may not be perfect when we get done, but it’s going to be one of my favorites. 😍 Kayla Storts Peterson
