Hello Lydia, thank you so much for taking us along with you to pottery. I took a pottery class years ago and loved it so much. It’s a place to let your imagination run free. I love what you have created and can’t wait to see how everything turns out. That part is always a surprise as you said, glaze is unpredictable. Thank you

Thank you for sharing another part of your life with us xx

Loved watching you create your masterpieces! TFS!!

I love everything! Gorgeous pieces!! I’ll forever be grateful for your gift of creativity. Thank you for sharing your ‘Lydia time’ with us.

Omg everything is so beautiful i love those pieces that you said you didn’t like the much, the oval big plate and the small green one with the blue smudge… theu love really nice. But yeah my favorite was the round one with the new glace.. glaze??? I dont know the correct spelling

Fun pages. I love the way you ordered them, balancing the types of papers. It's going to be a chunky piece of goodness by the end of October. 😂

You are such an inspiration for me. I love your spirit - the ability you have to have fun and embrace the wonkiness of your creations. If I can find that sense of play inside myself I feel like I will have hit the motherload. Thanks so much for sharing this part of your life with us. So cool.

Oh Lydia-the first plate is gorgeous and my favorite-but all of them are amazing!

This was so fun, my friend! Beautiful pieces! ❤

This was such a fun vlog! I would love to see a photo or video clip update of how your pieces turned out!

I think that textured plate is beautiful. 😌 I'm absolutely into the 70s 80s gandmness of it. It feels like something I would pull out of my grandma's "china" cabinet. Your city (cities? You've mentioned how long it is to drive places) is gorgeous, the coast is just unreal 🏖 i enjoyed this little sneak peek into more of your creative endeavors. Thank you for taking us along for something so special and dear to you! 💖

Thank you for taking us along!!

On the Hobonichi web page at the bottom sfter specification it just says the leather cover is thicker anf a clear cover may not got. So might be ok?

And orange is my 🧡color too🙌🙌🙌

Oh this is stunning! You are so creative ! Love the autumnal/ spring vibes !🙌🧡

You have the BEST handwriting so hand lettering doesn’t even matter! Great video :)

I have the pomegranate Weeks also. It is gorgeous!! AND for anyone that uses multiple planners - it matches the Filofax Norfolk planner in the color Currant PERFECTLY.

Lovely choices Lydia!! Worth the wait!

You have a mixed accent. Aussie , Kiwi.

Such a fun haul Lydia! Really enjoyed listening to you and seeing what you picked out. We’re Harvest Plaid buddies, how fun ☺️ The pomegranate leather is such a stunning color and I agree that that cover would look beautiful on it. I think I have heard somewhere that the leather can get moldy in a plastic cover.

Leather is skin, you wouldn't cover your skin with plastic, well maybe when it rains for a short time. We don't cover our leather handbags in plastic, you know what I mean. I know we are scared to mess up our planners, they are beautiful, and we want them to look new forever. I know I do. I think if you cover it in the plastic cover for a few hours when you plan on taking it outside to a coffee shop or something it should be ok. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the video.😊 I have the purple nights weeks but now I want the plaid one.🤩

I'm pretty sure the red text you see on certain days are the japanese holidays/special days, like 5/5 is children's day, for example. Great haul!

Hi, I think they say the leather has to breathe, and if it is in a plastic cover, it could sweat and may go mouldy.

Sooo exciting!! Everything looks amazing 😍 wish we could have ordered the whole store…always next year 🤷🏻‍♀️🤪😂

Love the depth of the colour of leather on the weeks cover. Stunning. Nothing like flipping an empty notebook 😊 Sarah ensign from ensign insights just posted a video today about the pentel brush pens. She swatches them all, that might help you see which ones you like on paper. Are you planning on using the pages in the back of the mega once this year is done? As swatch pages or anything? Just curious. Thanks for sharing!😊🤩

Omgoodness, Lydia, how can we all turn up unannounced and invade your personal space if you keep covering up your address!!!!!

I LOVE how junky this is! It's gorgeous! I can't wait to see the flip through on this one. Also I suck at binding too, you're not alone (but you do much better than I do) 😅

Another fun cover Lydia!! Maybe that trim over the lace bit that you picked out in the back?

I think that image you said looked like the sun is a diatom, a type of unicellular algae. (or a desmid, both are algae), They're crazy under a miscroscope, they are almost perfectly symmetrical. They have silica cell walls that are transparent. It looks like someone mixed up board game pieces when a couple of them are grouped together. Science enjoyer here sorry 🙈 I'm sure googling the scientific name I can't actually see will confirm, either way it's a beautiful image. I love all the buttefly choices, was hoping you'd put all 3 😁 the cover feels like that change of season, soft yet seasonal. It's gorgeous 🤩 Excited to see what you do in here this coming month. Thank you as always for sharing! 😌💖

Wow, I love how the cover turned out and how the journal looks in general. I am glad that you are happy with how it turned out as well hun xxx Thank you for showing xxxx

A beautiful cover! 🧡🦋

Oh Lydia-your fabric stash is amazing! So beautiful!

🧡🖤🧡

Aww, your poor trimmer. 😢 On the plus side...fantastic journal cards. They are so pretty. I was working on my mountain of fussy cutting as I watched, on a short break between Foodbank duties. ❤

❤❤❤

What about a shapped journal, eg, a circle or triangle etc or a tall journal or a flipped over journal

I cannot believe that I am watching yet another video of you putting together a new journal. These months are going by sooooo fast. I cannot wait to see the cover and how the October journal fills up xxx Thanks for sharing Lydia xx

Looks lovely!!!😊 Can’t wait to see the cover!

Love how chunky it turned out… cant wait to see the final result 🤍

Looking fab ❤❤❤

so thoughtful and fun!

What gorgeous happy mail you have received. If you were a happy mail I think this would be it hehehehe. Thank you for sharing xx

Cute idea Lydia!!

My cutter just like that one had the same thing happen to it too recently. I’m still making it work for now tho. Beautiful journaling cards!! ❤

Those journal spots turned out beautiful! Great idea, thanks for sharing.

They are so pretty Lydia ❤❤❤
