Let's explore using pens and pencils in your handmade journal 🖊 ✍️
•140gsm cartridge paper is suitable for drawing or writing
•Different pens and pencils will look different, so test them out first - you can get an idea of a few different ones from this video
•I love blank paper as I feel it gives more flexibility and creativity (but I can do lined!).

One of the new kids on the block: refillable leath

One of the new kids on the block: refillable leather journals! These traveller's-style notebooks have elastic running through, so you can easily swap in a new refill book once you're done.

Currently only in stock offline, but planning some for my Etsy shop.

Yesterday I visited the Museum of Everyday Life. It was weird and wonderful and had a whole mini exhibition of pencils. Could've done with a few holders for them, though 😉 like these lovely leather ones that fit around your journal or notebook.

Making templates for my new product, vertical stationery pouches! I make all my templates by hand, often making a prototype of both the template and product first, to work out any niggles. I just wish I could make them this fast 😄

Today, I took some new stock to top up this space I have in the gift shop of @northamptonshoe. It's a lovely shop with lots of locally made things in, definitely worth checking out next time you're in town.

Studio space 💙 It's only the teeny box bedroom, but it's been my creative home for the last 9 years; full of paper, leather, crafting tools and creative inspo. It's winter, so I'm wearing ALL the jumpers (ok, 3 jumpers). I'm lucky to have somewhere that's a private creative space for just me! Today I'm working on ideas to make my shop displays better.

You may have noticed I've changed the closures on some of my products (like my rescued leather pencil cases) to leather 'latches'. How do they work, though? They're pretty easy - simply slide the tab through the loop and it'll catch 😊 I love the look of these. What do you think?

Debating on whether to list more of these Coptic stitch journals with leather detail in my Etsy shop... they're great for using up leather scraps, but they do sell better offline. It's so tricky to know what to make sometimes! What do you lot reckon?
