365/365: Thank You! (but not goodbye)
Day 365/365
It’s the last day of the Sprouts Press 365 project! It’s been a fun year sharing my journey as an artisan and creative small business owner. I’ve enjoyed all your comments and likes, I hope you’ve enjoyed it as well.
I plan to continue blogging about Sprouts Press, my creative process, goings-on and other book-ish content, but it won’t be every day. I’m looking forward to seeing what sort of content I’m capable of on a more relaxed schedule, and sharing the growth of my little company. In the meantime, enjoy this collage of many of the books I’ve shared with you over the year! That’s a lot of books!!

Studio on a Sunday
Day 363/365
Today in the studio I’m tackling leather journals! I’m completely out of them in the Etsy shop, so I figured it’s time to restock. First ones should be online early next week.
This time around I’m keeping it simple; one size, one stitch style, and just a few neutral colour choices. There may be some options for personalization in the near future!! Keep your eyes peeled for this exciting development!!
Autumn No.1

New in the Shop
Day 360/365
Meet the newest addition to the Sprouts Press online shop! A good old coptic journal, with a built in braided bookmark complete with coin and bead! Perfect for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts, this is a tree-lovers journal.
Pages are 100% recycled blank paper, and covers are handmade paper in a lovely soft shade of yellow with a green leaves print. You can see small flecks and bits of botanicals in the fibres, it’s really beautiful!
