A very special custom order for my mother, who wanted a journal to record details about the tea ceremonies she's learning. This pattern exactly matches the fabric she has in her tea room!

I'm happy to finally announce my next round of bookbinding classes! I've done a bit of a swap, so I'm running the softcover class on a weekend and the hardcover class during the week. The length of these classes usually doesn't allow for this, but I'm trying something different in the hopes this will catch some of the people that have been unable to make it to a class so far.

You'll learn how to fold, stitch, and glue these journals and take home the final product! We always have lots of fun, and its a great way to socialize with new, creative people while slow making something with your own hands.

You can go to the 🖇️ you know where to find out all the details on each class. I hope to see you there!

This D&D player journal found it's new home recently. I love how this paper looks on a large size journal. You really get a good scope of the rainbow colors!

I'm in crunch mode now for the All Things Bookish market on the 16th, but you can bet I'm working hard to bring some really cool D&D journals with me for you to check out!

I've been out of this paper for a while, but I got a request for a reading tracker with it, so I got a whole big sheet of it. I love the blues and pinks in this!

This one is now in it's forever home, but I'm hoping to have at least one more available this Thursday at the first Hintonburg Night Market of the season! Maybe you can be the first one there to snag it!

Just a quick post for this custom DM Journal that I made this month. I always love how these marbled papers look on the large journals.

I am so thrilled with how this journal turned out! I bought this postcard from a few weeks ago and knew that I had to use it in a journal. I was even more delighted when I found that this burgundy Lokta paper I'd gotten from last year matched perfectly.

I don't normally keep any of the journals that I make, but this one is an exception to the rule. I've already written on the first page so I'm not tempted to pass it on.

However, if you're as in love with this combination as I am, send me a message. I think I can get more supplies to make another one. 😘

I was able to give this D&D Player Journal to it's new owner over the weekend, and it was a joy to see how happy they were with it! We customized the pages so that they are able to track three different characters in different campaigns in one book, so they'll never lose their character sheet again!

Don't be afraid to ask for customizations to my journals. I want them to suit you, whatever your needs.

I've had people asking for a while now, and I can finally announce the next batch of bookbinding classes!

I'll be running one hardcover and one softcover class this month, both at the Nepean Centrepointe branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

It was really hard to decide on dates. I need at least 3 people to sign up for a class for it to run, and if you follow my stories you know that the dates I threw around didn't really work for the majority of people. But I just had to bite the bullet and book the room and hope for the best.

I'd love to see you in class! Swipe to see dates and times, and go to the you know where in my you know what to get your seats!

Just a quick post about this adorable pocket journal I recently completed. Usually the journals of this size are case bound because there are so few pages. But one of my most loyal clients asked to make it as a reusable, so of course I said I would!

I made this as a french blood pressure tracker, so it will be nice and easy to quickly record the readings.

I love making custom designs! If you're looking for something specific, don't hesitate to reach out.
