This morning I'm packing up Wabi Sabi #Sketchbook orders and at least one is for a wedding #anniversary, which gives me all the lovely feels. Paper is traditional for a 1st anniversary, and the small size is a good option as it's very budget friendly. boundbyhand.co.uk/products/wab...

This afternoon I'm folding paper for Memory Books. People tend to use these as #scrapbooks for anniversaries, family albums, retirements, etc. Oxblood leather has been a popular choice lately, it's such a lovely option for autumn / fall events. More images: boundbyhand.co.uk/collections/...

How utterly gorgeous, and well worth the early start!

A lovely morning on Sunday at the waters edge, blue skies and the bright sun limited and real photography. But that’s all part of the fun and chase, I know getting up that more often than not I’ll come home empty handed but often having had a nice breakfast. #myweeklyphoneimage #sharemondays2026

Just received the loveliest review for my Beginner's Guide to #Bookbinding Supplies. Helping makers avoid overwhelm and overspending was my goal! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This guide has helped me spend less money than a kit would have cost!" - Charlie M. Thank you, Charlie!🙏 boundbyhand.co.uk/products/a-b...

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you. "Hi, I'm saved from a falling chimney pot by a scruffy rescue lurcher with hypervigilance and a love of heights."

Received a huuuuuuge piece of yellow leather this week, so I'll be focussing on making plenty of these Watercolour Sketchbooks so I can pay the tannery bill! Fortunately, Mustard & Olive is my most popular colourway amongst artists. ☀️🫒🎨 Order online, from £99: boundbyhand.co.uk/products/lea...

Whispering "thank you" to every sheet that comes out of the printer because goodness knows those needy printer gods need their affirmations.

Remembered to photograph a WIP last week. I was binding a #sketchbook with nifty pockets that I make by folding and tearing the sheet before folding it into a folio, then sewing on my Janome, and finally hand sewing with other signatures
