My first attempt at making a notebook and I must say that I loved doing it and how it turned out so I will definitely be doing this again.
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!

昨天买回来的本子今天起来已经有两篇了。实在是忍不住就往上面写东西了。
记得我高中时代，常常就是在本子上面乱画，即使上很重要的课，一边画反而更能听进去，嘴巴还跟着老师念念有词。
不过这个东西，跟moleskine还是没有办法比，带横线我就不喜欢，另外纸张似乎太薄了，或者说我的力度太大了？

My daughter needed to decorate a notebook for her journal in school, so we decided to pull out some cute fabrics and make a cover for it. We used the pocket from the top of the munki pj's and took the trim out of the seams (the small dotted fabric) and used it in the patchwork.

A veces los viajes en el tren de cercanías se hacen largos y uno no tiene más remedio que garabatear un poco para no morirse de aburrimiento.
You can't see too much of any one notebook, but here are all of my notebooks in a single photo! I should probably stop buying them since these are 99% empty.
For many of these, since they are often not from the US, I try to indicate where I purchased it (though the item may not have been manufactured there). Check the notes for each item. :-)
As you might be able to tell, I clearly have a thing for vintage designs, even though these are all new.
The second section contains the book(s) I am currently reading. I decided to simply start at the longest book, and read my way down to the shortest. :-) The Bible text is a printout from the Mac OS application, called MacSword ( www.macsword.com ). It produces nice output with no work. However, Accordance ( www.accordancebible.com/ ), also creates great output, though maybe with less fancy formatting (Book titles and chapter headings in the format I'm using)
I'm printing in paragraph form, rather than verse-by-verse, to make the reading flow more. Also, I'm printing these as a 2-sided booklet. I use the utility Cocoa Booklet ( fabien.iconus.ch/cocoabooklet/ ) to do this. Printing on our duplex printer makes this a breeze. As I finish studying a book, I will either put it in its own Circa notebook, or try to bulk up on larger rings. I haven't decided yet.
