i’m so glad to see you’ve gotten back into fountain pens! i should send you some ink samples… your deco in your books is always so lovely! thank you for sharing 💛

[@bronteswannick]

Yayyy Bucky I’m so excited to exchange samples with you 🥰 it’s been so nice to use fountain pens! I think I finally found my groove with them in October 😊 thank you as always for watching!

I love all the Cousin daily spreads, the way you decorate is in such a cool style! Defo don't be too hard on yourself for the weeklies as resting to figure out exactly how you want to use them and what works best is important. I'm loving the hobbies journal, it's a huge inspiration and so I might have to do one next year

[@bronteswannick]

Thank you so so much ❤️ I think you're right, if I force myself to fill out those weekly pages I'm going to be even less inspired! And I'm so glad you like the hobbies journal, it really does work so well in that small format! I think the video for next week will be about that book, so stay tuned hehe 😊

Your daylight savings time comment made me snicker. 😂

[@bronteswannick]

I don't know how I forgot about it 😅 thank you for watching!

The diamine sepia is really nice. I have the ancient copper and I'm liking that as well. Are you going to use the Cousin and Common Planner next year or just the Cousin? You may not have the weekly issue in the Cousin next year if you don't use the CP again. I had convinced myself that I was using my A6 Hon for my reading planner but seeing how well the weeks works for your hobby journal, I may switch it up. Love your spreads!

[@bronteswannick]

Isn't it lovely! I also have ancient copper!! I think I might use that one in December 😊 SUCH a good point about using the weekly Cousin pages to plan, I actually did that when I first started using the Cousin in July 2022, but I think now I prefer to keep things separate - and also I feel a little weird about taking my Cousin with all of the crazy stickers and deco layouts and stuff to work 😅 ooh well I think either book would work well for your reading journal! I think I say in the video but I do find the Weeks size so manageable, so I think that's why it works so well for me 😊 thanks so much for watching!

[@stephanieplansandreads]

@@bronteswannick That makes sense keeping your Cousin away from your work stuff. I didn't think about that. 😄

[@Rkive.wonderland]

I love your thoughts n how you decorate your pages 😊

[@bronteswannick]

Thank you so so much! 🥰

Love your videos- can you please share what pens you like to use in your notebooks? thanks so much xoxo

[@bronteswannick]

Thank you so much! Of course 😊 my favourite gel pens are definitely the Uniball One in 0.38, the Zebra Sarasa Nano (0.3) and the Pentel Energel Clena in 0.3 - I like skinny nibs for the Hobonichi paper! Then my favourite ballpoint is absolutely the Uni Jetstream in 0.5, which writes like a 0.3; that’s the one Hobonichi give as a gift with all their planners. And then for fountain pens my favourite is the Kaweko Sport in Extra Fine 😊 thennn (sorry this is so long!) I also love the Pentel Touch, Tombow Fudenosuke, Zebra Mildliners and Tombow Dual Brush pens for adding colour/highlights/more decorative titles and things!

It's been a while you don't make knitting videos... 😢

[@bronteswannick]

Yeah I’m afraid that’s not the main focus of my hobbies right now, so I don’t really feel like making those videos! I am still knitting but just not as much, but I do post about it sometimes on Patreon 😊
