I love seeing your collection. You have such a great eye for beauty, function, and detail.

I'm in LOVE with that maverick with the chunky clasp !!!! Your work is amazing!!! I wish I had that kind of skill !!

As usual, it’s fun to hear from you and see what’s new in your supplies and journal lineup. I appreciate your saying you might just retire the one notebook if you’re not done with it by the end of the year. I struggle with “not finishing” certain notebooks and I think it’s ok to just realize it’s time to move on sometimes. 🙂

I adore the cover with the chunky strap! Wish I could find this for my Weeks!

Your journals are just breathtaking! I always mention how beautiful your journals, but your prayer journal is something else! That clasp turned out so beautifully, I love unfurnished edges too. Okay Sarah, now you are just showing off with that cross pen holder!! My Christian soul is just enamored with your stunning piece!! You are so talented Sarah, I love it so much 😍😍

I look forward to your videos so much Sarah 🥰 You can imagine my excitement when I saw one posted just 41 seconds ago 😅 Love your content!! Ramble on girl! 😉

Your leatherwork is so beautiful, I especially loved that cross pen holder - so creative and it turned out so perfect. Don’t give up on fountain pens yet! It’s strange that it would explode, but your vintage pens are so pretty. That gold pen is so precious ❤

Love your tote! Thanks for sharing friend! 💖💕💕

The leaky nibs: I wonder if you flush or soak your nibs with a nib cleaning solution, that this might improve things? Also, are they vintage pens? The older fountain pens seem to dry up quicker. Modern fountain pens for example can last up to a year which is insane compared to older ones without ink drying and nibs clogging. My last modern leaky pen was a result of the housing of the nib cracking, and dried ink clogging the nib unit when I accidentally left small remnants of ink too long. My personal experience with intense fountain pen use is to stick to modern new ones which are piston fillers. They contain a lot more ink. But some like to keep changing inks and the big piston pens have inks that last too long for them. I can highly recommend TWSBI 580 Diamond series and Opus 88 pens. So lovely to see your setups, especially inspirational is that you made your own leather accessories. Some day, I would love to learn how to do that 😁 Thanks for sharing!

Your work is so GORGEOUS, Sarah! And that prayer book is perfection! I like snap closures, too. I've harvested magnetic ones off of purses along with using regular snaps. And YUP, fountain pens can be a bit messy!

Here 👏🏻 For 👏🏻 This 👏🏻 TFS Sarah 💓

I so enjoy your posts come through! I have ordered some of the items you have recommended and I love them all --- Thank you for sharing such quality made items with us --- Happy Fall To You!

The cross pen holder has blown me away!! You have so much imagination and skill with leather! I really enjoyed this video so much!! Thank you.

Beautiful books and collection Sarah; we should be so lucky. Love you girl. Thank you for staying strong and sharing all you do.

Love all the covers you made yourself, Sarah, you do amazing work! 😍

Yay! A video!

I love ur leather work! It’s just so magnificent!! I truly love ur prayer book cover and the pencil board you made for it!! Thank u also for sharing ur journal and planners! 😊

What a gorgeous setup! The bag is awesome and your lineup is magical. I love it when things come together just right. Good luck with your fountain pens. If you’re finding that now is not the season in life for fountain pens, you might research rollerball pens that can be used with fountain pen ink. I prefer to refill cartridges to use. You can pop one out and a new one in right away. There are mixed reviews out there for different brands, but I think it’s a decent alternative. I don’t have any specific recommendations because I use the rollerball section I got from SchonDSGN with an aluminum body Pocket 6 pen. I am unsure what brand he sells. Thank you so much for sharing! 🧡🖋📚

Hi Sarah! TYFTV. I agree with Toxmot, your leather work is beautiful. The fabric choices: c'est magnifique! I know in the past you've video taped assembling a leather folder with a fabric interior, I was wondering (because I've noticed your notebook interiors too :) ) if you would show us how you do that? Including choosing the right type of paper etc. Anyway, lovely work.

That bag is beautiful!!

All I can say is WOW 🤩 oh and beautiful work in those!!

To fix leather that's unpleasantly stiff I dampen it with a (water) sprayer and put it in a tumble dryer with no heat for a few minutes.

Love this!!! That cover with the chonky clasp is everything!!!! I can only hope to get better with my leather crafting to show it someday,lol. As usual always happy to see a new video pop up and get to "hang out with Sarah". P.S. I am totally buying this bag for my trips with hubby. I needed something just like this, thank you 😊

I will have to try that with the brush pens! Thx for the idea!❤

For the cover with the button closure - maybe try sanding the edge to make the rounded shape smoother. It looks great on camera!

I always get excited to see what you are up to Sarah! I sure hope you are doing well as the past year has been so hard on you and your family. I think of you often and pray for you and your family’s healing. I’m keeping it simple this year and going to try a Sneaker Weeks Mega for my planner. I am a university professor and have lots of projects but I’m finding lots of my work needs to be in digital tools so I think I can make some he Weeks work. I primarily need to keep track of my tasks for the week and plan when to start projects. I’ve tried to do this online but I forgot to regularly check it plus having a place to physically note things helps keep me focused. I got the mega to do what you are going in your A6 but in the note pages. Anyways, I am fairly settled and did the same thing as you with the Take a Note. I had it ordered and canceled it. I’m drooling over the Midori Hibino right now but not sure I want something that chunky as it’s about the same size as my A6 Hobonichi 5 year journal. This is the only thing that I seem to have a week spot for as I’ve been able to resist most of the shiny new objects this planner release season.

Always love your videos!! And great recommendations too - I will have to look in to that tote! If you ever choose to part with your passport size leather flyleaf penloop folder, please let me know!! I would really benefit from it :)

I love the pen boards you made! Honestly I keep going back and forth with what I want to do for next year. I was going to do a Hobo sneaker Weeks again but I've been having a pull to go back to a standard size. I'm not a die hard TRC leather cover person until I found someone selling an original "Midori" stamped Brown cover that is brand new with insert and box. The leather is so different from any other TRC covers I had in the past. I love it, so I was thinking about going that route but I'm having a hard time figuring out a pen clip/holder. I considered ordering one of the BK x TSL but everyone is out of both the magnet and clip ones. BK does have the "Cardovan" leather one in burgundy but I'm not paying an extra $20 because of it being supposedly superior leather. I feel like every time I think I get a system working for me all the small things add up till I throw my hands in the air.

😏Field Pouch from Peak Design Commercial? They know us too too well🤣 Anyway, so happy for an Update! There's soo much in here. I live your Tote, wish it came double sized 😅 It did leave me confused as to what your 2023 was going to be... Kinda like what happened to me this year strangely. As I usually have my Systems down, but maybe that pent up Wanderlust has some of us really heading into the Season harder than our usual? I have been having such a difficult time getting comfortable with the right cover which makes a Calendar function optimally. It ballooned and is All over the place now as Hobonichi finally released my Shipment (I got the One Piece for my Boys) so that was delayed a Month for everything as well. Lesson learned to not merge next years Order... I am really finding myself gravitationally being pulled to a TN, but love the TRP and since this is their "last year" (I believe they had a second transition from the actual Real TRP because my Fountain Pens react differently to old old New Notebooks than the more recent to newest ones)...will stick with that until it's over for Journaling. But! Utilizing my TN for Marital Journaling which I love as that's the system I had when we were dating 💕 Not getting an A5 as it's just too much for all of it to be in one place...the color coding and everything in one was overwhelming I fell in love with B6 Slim THAT would be great if it's availability through Companies was better So I've relegated my Personal Journaling to A5 like what Trina Gorman has done in her Roterfadens. Good size for Brain dumping Weeks for Health and Baby milestones Really it's the Daily that's bugging me most as That's the real workhorse... I like B6 but there aren't a whole lot of Covers that draw me so do I use an A5 zip with Pens above to fill the space and then have a Huge A5 in my Purse?😬 Or B6 with a Canvet Pouch with all the do-dads... Like all busy Mom's I'm trying to streamline.. Which before I forget, I LOVE YOUR PRAYER BOOK. The Cross you made is fantastic was that done with a Cricut? Also, for Patches there are some lovely Religious ones on Etsy depending on which Rite you are in... Thank you for the insights! Your Videos have been helping me get through my 2023 plans🤗

That clam tote 😍 any where else I can find it? Olive color is sold out. Love your videos, you make me want to buy leather to make my own notebooks and experiment.

Hello Sarah! I enjoy a thick notebook for journaling and was wondering if you knew of a thick notebook that came in a travelers notebook size that has tomoe river paper. I have only seen inserts but am looking for something thicker for every day journaling. Thank you! xoxo

Sarah I need to know where that la croix sticker is from- I need it in my life!!!!!

Hi Sarah i would like to know where i can order your bag im in love with him!!! Ahahah Thank you !

I love that tote. Perfect storage solution for my tiny place. I can’t tell which color “IGY” is on their website. It’s not translating. I love the thicker duck cloth canvas. Is it waxed fabric?

Your prayer book is beautiful. Would you have a link to it ?

Sarah did your mention where your black pens that you use are from?

Do you make those covers and sell them?
