Kente bookmarks are slowly coming back! πŸ’š

Let's start with the green ones today, and I'll slowly bring back the others too.
I know I said I would do this ages ago. Along with about a hundred other things I've probably told you I was going to do. πŸ˜…
The thing is, I have my plans... and my ADHD brain seems to have completely different ones. πŸ˜‚
I decide what I'm going to do, and then my brain goes: nope, we're doing THIS now!
I'm still trying to figure out how to work with it, because sometimes it's really frustrating when I have so many things I want to do and just can't seem to follow my own plans.
But... slowly. One thing at a time. I'll get there. 😊

And today colourful Kente! πŸ’šπŸ’›β€οΈ

Well... that wasn't on my to-do list πŸ˜„

Yesterday didn't start well.
Some days feel heavier than others, and yesterday was one of those days.
Then, out of nowhere, I was given a mission. πŸ˜„
- repairing leather steering wheel

I have repaired leather shoes and car seats, I brought a pair of very old (very vintage πŸ˜…) leather trousers back to life, but this was something new for me.
I looked at the original stitching, figured out how it worked, picked up two needles and... DONE !

I actually love challenges like this.

Then my friend asked if I could bake a cake, so I did that too 😁

By the evening, the rough morning had become nothing more than a distant memory, I'm grateful that yesterday gave me something useful to focus on.

Sometimes the best part of the day is the part you didn't plan.
Would you agree? 😊

πŸ‘½ They've finally landed...
They won't abduct you... they'll just keep your place in your book.

The alien bookmarks have officially arrived in my Etsy shop!

Everyone knows about Area 51 and Roswell in the USA... but did you know the UK has its own UFO places too?
Bonnybridge in Scotland and Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk are both famous for UFO sightings.
And now few little visitors have landed in my studio in London too. πŸ›Έ

So if you love aliens, UFOs, extraterrestrial mysteries, sci-fi, or just enjoy quirky bookish accessories, these might be your next favourite bookmark.

Do you believe in aliens, or do you think we're alone in the universe? πŸ‘½

They're finally in my shop. πŸ§‘πŸ’š

These fabric card holders are inspired by the iconic carpet patterns from Stanley Kubrick's horror movie "The Shining", based on Stephen King's novel.

They come in two designs:

🟧 Hexagon – inspired by the iconic Overlook Hotel carpet.
🟩 Keyhole – inspired by room 237 carpet design.

I like that everyone can use them differently. Some will keep a library card or Oyster card inside, others will tuck in a gift card and make them part of a present.

I wonder... have you seen "The Shining" or read Stephen King's novel?

A few times I've been asked if I had any lavender bookmarks.
The answer was always no.
Not because I didn't want to make them, but because I hadn't found a lavender fabric that truly stole my heart πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
I kept looking... until I finally found these two beautiful designs.
I couldn't decide which one I loved more, so I bought both fabrics. πŸ’œ
And that's how these two lavender bookmark designs came to life.
One features soft, watercolour-style lavender flowers, while the other is a more vibrant design with blooming lavender stems.

Which one would you choose? πŸ’œπŸ“š

It always makes me smile when I recognise a familiar name in my Etsy orders. This customer from Hannover, Germany, first found my shop in 2020 and has returned several times since then for personalised bookmarks. πŸ’™
Things like this may seem small, but they mean a lot to me and give me extra motivation to keep creating. I love knowing that the bookmarks I make are finding their way to young readers in different parts of the world πŸ™‚

This is a reminder of another seven bookmarks I’ve shared with you in my Stories as part of the 'Bookmark a Day' series.
The original plan was to add one bookmark a day, but as you can see, it doesn’t always work that way πŸ™‚

At the moment, we’re almost halfway through the series, but there are still around 30 bookmark designs waiting to be sewn 😁 So yes, this project will definitely stretch over time.

Now it’s time to meet the next seven bookmarks (43-49)

1. Forest & Moon
2. Sandy Ray
3. Willow bough
4. Blue Paisley upcycled
5. Polish folk Łowicz
6. Golden Lily - W. Morris
7. Paisley in salmon colour

Please let us know which one is your favourite?

If you are new here:
I try to show you one of my bookmarks in Stories daily (read: whenever I can πŸ˜…).
You can find all of them saved in the β€œBookmarks” highlights.
