From December 1991 to December 2004 I filled 27 notebooks. 7 screenplays, 3 seasons of a sitcom, short stories, ideas, daily bullshit, all scattered. Only things of real value that I own.
The notebook & pen set were the free gift in this month's Hello Kitty Magazine (issue #49) & the animal design pencil case was sent to me from Taiwan by my friend & very first Hello Kitty contact Ana (620)
a slim notebook i recently purchased at the alameda antique fair / flea market. it is from 1899-1906 and in german.
Here's an oddity: I was having a tidy up in my office, and opened an old briefcase, which had been gathering dust in the corner, meaning to throw away the rubbish, and perhaps re-use the case. I couldn't remember for the life of me what was inside. As I rummaged, this came to hand.
It must date back to my early to mid teens, as the contents are in my rather cramped hand-writing of the time: mainly comprising a list of records which I had heard on the wireless, and which I wanted to find. There are two distinct sections: one of (as one would expect of me) 1950s rock and roll; the other of mainly British dance bands of the 1930s, an enthusiasm that bit me quite hard at the time, courtesy of the late Alan Dell, who presented a programme of dance band and swing music on Monday evenings on Radio 2.
Further on in the book are several pages, probably from around 1977, noting the fuel consumption of my Morris 1000, with petrol prices over the period recorded rising from 79.5 pence to 95.6 pence per gallon. (Bear in mind, however, that the wage for an unskilled chap at the time, doing, say, warehouse work, was around a pound an hour.) Much of the hand-writing is the War Department's.
There is also an anatomical drawing naming the various parts of a horse's rear leg, and noting the equivalent parts of a human leg. This is clearly also hers, as I barely knew one end of a horse from the other.
The design on the cover may be recognisable as having originated from a flow chart stencil, which we were encouraged to have for our school maths classes. Computers, we were told, would be important, and we would have to know how to lay out flow charts, so that a programmer could write the code to make it all happen. (I did actually have to do this once - just once - in the mid-1980s, when my employer at the time had a System 38 mainframe computer system, and we wanted to get it to calculate air cylinder sizes for failsafe operation of pneumatically-powered valves. The formula required an exponential term, which ''wasn't possible'', or so I was told by the computer department. I suggested using infinite series to approximate an answer, and was met with blank stares. It took a while to figure it out, but a couple of days later I gave them a flow chart, they programmed it, and amazingly, it worked first time. I'm not sure who was most surprised: them or me.)
I think I shall put the book up on my office shelf, pending a decision on what to do with it. I doubt that I shall throw it away.
This notebook was cute, however caused a whopping $8... only at Urban. I wonder who buys these books? Must be some rich folks!
Midori Traveler's Notebook: Limited "Traveler's Star Edition" in collaboration with the "Star" Ferry Company, Hong Kong.
Clemens Hein at Brevi Manu (Bielefeld, Germany - www.brevimanu.de) did a wonderful job of putting together a complete set of Star Edition goodness (and also threw in some green masking tape for good measure). The items came in a beautiful box by le typographe, adorned with green ribbon. As you can see the notebook itself was skillfully wrapped, too.
I made this wedding notebook for a niece of a friend. A wedding notebook should hold all the wedding information - photographer, dress, fittings, seating arrangements, calendar for the coming months, ideas and business cards.
I covered it with patterned paper, added a ribbon, a chipboard flower and a book plate. Inside it is divided with folders that have tabs and pockets. It could use some ribbons on the spiral binding though...

Fungus Workshop Leather Craft
I learned leather craft from a few books but I felt kind of lonely just doing things I like all by myself. Thanks to Bubi Au Yeung, a figurine artist, who told me about Fungus Workshop, so I signed up for a beginner's class, two lessons passed and I got to know stuffs I didn't learn from books, plus knowing these passionate people who enjoy life and craft genuinely, which is kind of rare in a city like Hong Kong.
Each classmate choose what he/she would like to do from a bunch of samples. I chose to do something in the line of stationery (later I will do a camera/laptop messenger bag). Their template was a notebook cover, but I decided to make it a GTD index card holder. After finishing it, I decided to add a notebook for note taking and an antique key to nostalgize the whole thing.
For all leather projects I did, improvisation in the last minute seems to add beautiful touches to a plain project. As you can see, the enclosure here doesn't wrap the back of the cover to the front, instead it leaves the back wide open so I can dangle the whole notebook or even hook it up to my messenger bag.
Instead of a Moleskine notebook, I put a Rhodia notebook inside just because of its bright orange color, to lighten up a bit. However, I hate the fact that the PU cover of Rhodia discolored after just 6 months from my acquisition of it. In addition, it just doesn't lie flat like a Moleskine does when opened. Anyhow, the discoloration did added the raw and battered look I like.
For those of you who are in Hong Kong and hunger for leather craft, I highly recommend Fungus Workshop. Hoiming and Baldwin, Grace and Philip, all four are friendly souls you can chat with and learn from. I am so happy Hong Kong is catching up with Japan and Taiwan in leather crafting. Keep it up Fungus!

These two notebooks are bound using a chopstick on the spine. Both books are about 9" x 4.5" and have 50 pages.
The covers are made with cardstock. The darker pink book has pale pink Japanese metallic flecked paper for the first and last pages, and the remaining pages are pink. The lighter pink book has lightweight yellowish Japanese paper for the first and last pages, and the remaining pages are white.
Both books have a short beaded string embellishment attached at the top of the chopstick, and I used little flower images that I carved and printed onto the covers using gold ink.
SOLD
