Inspired by the simplicity of the Bullet Journal method, this course will show you how to create a journal system that keeps your rug hooking life organized—without becoming a chore to maintain.

Have you ever found yourself asking:

  • Which teacher did I take that class from?
  • What year was that rug camp?
  • Which rug was I working on?
  • When did I start this project?
  • When did I finish it?
  • What changes did I make along the way?

If you’ve only attended one camp or completed a few rugs, those questions may seem unnecessary. But after a few years, the details begin to blur together. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have everything in one place?

In this course, you’ll learn how to keep track of your classes, teachers, rug camps, projects, ideas, and progress so you can easily look back and see how far you’ve come.

I’ve relied on the Bullet Journal system for years to organize my life. More recently, I discovered Notion, a remarkably flexible app that works beautifully alongside a simple paper journal. Together, they create a practical system that’s easy to maintain and powerful enough to keep all of your rug hooking information at your fingertips. Check out the Notion Art Catalog course for a wonderful digital way to catalog your artwork.
