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.

DSC_0418_fotor_fotor_fotorI 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 363/365photo-23Today 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

Day 362/365

Today I’m inspired by Autumn, it’s one of my favourite seasons!  So I’ve decided to share the love and post this treasury I curated, featuring 16 other Canadian makers over on Etsy.

New in the Shop

Day 360/365DSC_0747Meet 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!
