Diversion – organising my ideas

A couple of years ago, I realised that it would be necessary to keep a notebook about my person at all times, in order to jot down ideas when they come to me.  Being me, of course it is always on the days I have failed to throw a notebook in my bag that I [...]

Projects in progress…

Firstly, I’ve had quite a few updates on the Friends & Faux project over the last week or so, which I have thus far failed to update here on the blog.  Bear with me, I will be caught up soon! In the meantime, I just wanted to share a couple of projects I’ve recently been [...]

It’s a zine, no it’s a notebook…& it’s totally customised!

You know, I was pretty excited the day I discovered D*I*Y Planner, but this is even better!  I was innocently reading through my emails yesterday evening when a message popped up from Wendy at Craft Dinner! (‘food for your art’ – don’t you just love that?) alerting me to the mini wonders available from…(drumroll, please)…PocketMod. [...]

Notebooks…mmm…

What is it about a new notebook that is just so…I don’t know…enticing? All the unexplored potential it has, perhaps. Or just the invitation to scribble notes for nothing but your own sense of satisfaction. Anyway, for fellow notebook fans, I just wanted to add a couple of links that I found: Are you a [...]

A quiet week?

Despite a lack of blogging activity here which may suggest the contrary, I have been busy busy busy all week!  Well, I took a week’s holiday from ‘real’ work – caught up with a friend, saw my mum & dad (my dad has been in China for the last 6 months or so, so that [...]

Telaic Fantasy 2 is here!

This is the zine that will go out with the next (April) D.I.Y. Weaving Club bundles; but you can also buy Telaic Fantasy #2 all on its own, if you’d rather not wait! TF2 is A6-sized, and 24pp (twice the size of TF1!).  It is a funky dual-purpose part-zine, part-notebook, so if you pop it [...]

Re-purposed ‘ideas’ notebook (& more)

One of the things I un-buried in my freak tidying spree was a couple of comment cards from a nice cafe in town, where Corey and I sat and recovered from the hugest cooked breakfast EVER, on a lazy Saturday a few weeks ago.   I picked up the comment cards with no idea of [...]

Tidying (shudder) but finding various stuff & ideas

I am not a tidy person.  I like to have what I need spread out and accessible around me – and still there the next time I sit down to continue.  But I have been so busy lately, and putting together kits and zines in the tiniest corner of my really quite large study made [...]

Mini Magazine Notebook (with pockets!)

I was thinking about how to present the next issue of ‘Telaic Fantasy‘ (just because I have a model that works doesn’t mean I can leave it at that – that’s just not the way I am!).  I wanted a cover with integral pockets, so I played about folding a piece of paper in various [...]
