I've been playing with the smaller bits of scrap leather I have - I really don't like waste! Would you like to see some leather animal brooches? Maybe I could make them into pencil toppers? Let me know what you think!

Pretty much sold out of A5 leather journals before Christmas! I've just got hold of a bumper batch of the paper I use, (made from upcycled takeaway cups!) so I'm busy making lots of new ones. Look at this lovely stack of signatures waiting to be sewn 💙

Playing with gold leaf on leather. Not the best detail, but I'm sure there's a knack to it I've not discovered yet! Would you like to see some gold leaf designs in leather journals? What would you have on yours?

Currently having a sort out of my craft room. I have lots of random things for storage! That top tin is full of Buttons I Shall Never Use. Hands up who else has stashes of random things?

Back to work today! How did that look for you? I spent some time testing out my new hand-carved wooden bone folder from @mond37. It's nice and slim, perfect for scoring and creasing.

Once upon a time, there was a maker who sold mini books as necklaces. All the paper used was from off-cuts, and the leather had been rescued from a shoe factory. The end.

What’s your favourite journal size? My A5 ones have definitely been the most popular this year, but I love A6! Great for carrying around with you. Each of my handmade journals is slightly different, because they’ve been made from leather rescued from a shoe factory.
