I am starting this year off with the intention for somewhat more regular updates. But I'm really only interested in sharing the things I'm making, leading to the creation of the "Studio Sundays" series. The title is referring to my studio apartment where I make everything. :')
To start off the new year, I spent most of the weekend decluttering and reorganizing my arts and crafts supplies. I've accumulated a lot throughout my lifetime. It is my main hobby and I enjoy playing around with so many different media, but it makes me uneasy when I have a lot of materials sitting around my apartment. I don't have enough storage space for that. On the other hand, sorting through all of these materials inspired me to restart a few half-finished projects I'd forgotten about. I watched four Stephen King movies as I was decluttering.
I have a lot of things I wanted to crochet last year, but that fell to the wayside once the weather got warm and I refused to stay inside. Then I crammed a bunch of crafting in December for Christmas gifts. Now that the holidays are over, I am slowly working through my crochet list. I am starting off with a practical love letter book sleeve so I can carry my books around without them getting damaged. But I ran out of white yarn so it ended up being too small for my current book.
I also have quite the stationery collection, which only grew with my most recent trip to Japan. There are so many beautiful, high quality stationery goods, but I get overwhelmed by choice so I ended up purchasing brands I was already familiar with. Pictured below is the Hobonichi Weeks and A6 blank Midori I started this year. This is my first time trying the Hobonichi weekly planner and I am loving it, it has a lot of fun themed pages. I am using my Midori as a catch-all for notes and brainstorming and I covered it with a pink paper book sleeve I also got in Japan.
I don't know how often I'll update this series. Maybe only when I have something interesting to say or share. Until then.
