Eye Candy | Pink Kitten Heart Sketchbook
I have started a drawing project. Yay! A small, personal one that I am housing in this pink journal I got from my Swedish blog friend, Malin.

A Notebook from the Smallest Forest
Book, beautiful book, smallest forest, leaf after leaf… Pablo Neruda, Ode to The Book III No matter how much I enjoy book binding myself, I will never have the patience or skill of a real book binder. I know, because I’ve watched a couple of them do their thing when I did take a class, […]
Yellow Moleskine Pac-Man Edition
Time to start writing in a new diary notebook. To start a new one is always extra fun to me, because it feels like a fresh start. Also, it’s time to admit it: I am a geek. A notebook geek not the least… I went ahead and bought myself two large yellow Moleskine plain notebooks. […]

In my lap
When I feel that I can’t find any inspiration I take up my knitting and watch TV. My wool sweater has grown during August. The balls of yarn is shrinking. The knitting basket is always put away after a knitting session, because my cat likes to eat yarn. She curls up in my lap when […]
Moleskine Plain Notebook Review – my first try
The old notebook is filled with my writing. As summer break started it felt perfect to switch to a new journal/diary. The old one has blank white pages and dark red cloth cover that attracts cat hairs. The new one provides a fresh start, with blank pages to live on. A symbolic “new life” this […]
Notebook with Cream Colored pages

The pages are 80 gram cream colored printing paper, perfect for simple daily writing and journaling. Probably I will want to write in […]
