I’ll admit it, I’m a stationery geek. I love paper goods. Letterpress makes me swoon. And notebooks, oh boy do I love a good notebook. I’m a sketcher, list-maker, letter writer, obsessive doodler. I can’t live without paper.

More often than not, I find myself stitching it – crazy surprise – and frequently, unlike my wood and metal stitching, which is very planned out, I don’t know what shape my paper embroidery will take.

I picked up this guy the other day. It’s just a basic ruled page cahier that I’m a sucker for – they’re so good for doodling. This is the beginning of what I’m sure will end up being a notebook covered in random stitched doodling.
