A Case of The Mondays!
The holidays are over so it’s back to work! But don’t worry, I don’t actually have a case of ‘The Mondays’*, I love my work! And I’m pretty excited about the plans I’ve made for this year, more to come soon! 
I’m also pretty pumped for all the good things that will happen that I don’t know about yet. What can I say, I’m one of those weird people who enjoys change and surprises!
In the meantime, I’m still wrapping up the details of 2015 on the business side of Sprouts Press. I’m reminded of some of my favourite pieces from last year, especially this wintry blue Fancy Journal! Perfect for one of the first real days of winter here in Toronto.
*If you don’t know what it means to have a case of ‘the mondays’, you need to watch the movie ‘Office Space’. Seriously, it’s hilarious.
The Studio on a Sunday
Today the studio is quiet, as it has been for the last few days while I get some much needed R&R. It’s the time of year when I reflect on what 2015 was all about; what worked, what didn’t, and where I want to take this little company in 2016. 
I’ve got some big plans in the works and I can’t wait to share them with you as they unfold. But for now, I’m enjoying wintery walks, library books, ukulele-ing, and my favourite journals and pens.
Stay tuned for continued, regular blog posts right here, lots of new goodies in the online shop, and lots of social media posts and updates!

Boxing Week Sale!
I’m having a little Boxing Week Sale over on Etsy! I’ve created a whole section dedicated just to sale items, have a look here. Otherwise, I’m trying my best to add new items on a fairly regular basis, keep your eyes peeled!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my little bookbinding company this year. Your love of books, support for handmade and kind words have made it a great journey. While I always appreciate these things, they were especially soothing on the tough days. Thank you.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, whatever you celebrate, may it bring you joy and happiness!

Studio Sunday (on a Monday!)
Yesterday was my last bookbinding workshop for 2015! I’m so happy with the response these classes have received, and how eager people in learning to make their own handbound books!!With that in mind, I’m pleased to announce that there are some new workshops for 2016! I’ve kept everyone’s favourites and added a couple of new classes (and a new location!) to the roster. While you don’t have to have any prior bookbinding experience to take my classes, they are great chance to dust off your bookbinding skills and get a refresher in technique.
Longstitch/Linkstitch Bookbinding Workshop
When: Sunday January 24, 1pm – 4pm & Sunday March 13, 1pm – 4pm.
Where: Graven Feather 906 Queen Street West, Toronto
Hard Cover Arrow Stitch Journal Workshop
When: Sunday February 28, 1pm – 4pm & Sunday April 17, 1pm – 4pm

Pro Tip: Workshops are a great gift for that hard-to-buy-for person on your holiday shopping list, especially if you plan a day of it and take the class together! (Most of my Toronto workshops start at 1pm, why not go for brunch and then a class?)
