Ooh! Welcome! Thank you so much for catching the replay from (I imagine sunny? ☀️) California!

Thank you so much for checking out the replay!!! 😍 That’s so nice that you were able to get some journalling and sewing down (sewing continues to be an aspirational hobby I want to learn so badly, but haven’t been able to focus my attention on 😅). I actually have a sample of watermen’s tender purple, but I forgot to swatch it! It’s been recommended a few times, so I’m going to add it to the lineup. I’m also interested in Kobe Hydrangea! I’m definitely going to do more streams, so I would love to see you at a future one (as long as it works with your schedule!).

I have yet to try Colorverse as an ink brand, but I hope to, soon. They have so many pretty inks and Rainy Day looks gorgeous!

Thank you for this feedback - I was hoping it would be relaxing experience. 🥹 I’m happy you’re here now, and it would be wonderful to catch you in a future steam, as long as it works with your schedule! So far, I’m having much better luck with PCB in my platinum 3776 - possibly because of the slip and seal pen cap? I’ve heard so many say they haven’t experienced issues with PCB in the pilot VP, and I’ve heard even more positive things with using De Atramentis Document black with the VP. I’m tempted to try it, but I do also have a large bottle of permanent black ink already… 😅😬

@ Hearing so many people happily use their PCB ink in a matte black VP was exactly why it surprised and disappointed me when it didn’t work for me. The dryness meant that even if I paused for 10secs to think about what to write next would cause another hard start. I had wondered if my VP was faulty but it’s behaving much better with the ink cartridge that came in the box. Thank you for the ideas to try different combos! By the way, I’m @helenaliu commenting from my new channel 🙂. Looking forward to seeing your next video!

@ Helena! Congratulations on launching your channel! I just subscribed! 😍 The cartridge vs converter thing is so interesting! I don’t understand how that could help, but I’m glad it seemed to for both of us!

@ You’re so sweet, thank you so much for your support! 💛

Hi! Thanks for stopping by! Unfortunately, the Hobonichi Weeks won’t fit in the own wallet. That would be amazing if it could, though!

@ Ah! Bummer!! Thank you for letting me know. ❤️

Aww, it sounds like you needed to catch up on sleep. Jet lag is rough. I’m planning to do more, so maybe I’ll catch you at a future one! ☺️

Thank you so much for sharing!!! I can’t wait to try it! 😍🍲

Lilian, I’m thinking about creating an open access document that holds our recipes. Would you be open to me including yours, with credit? :)

@@LittleCocoStudio OUH that's so fun! Definitely a big yes from me!☺

Thank-you Lilian

It’s the Weekly Supplement that Hobonichi makes. It’s slightly smaller than their A6 techo and it’s very affordable. I love it!

Ooh! What passport notebook colour did your gf get? 😍 It sounds like you hit a lot of great spots! And you already have something to look forward to for your next visit!

Thank you so much! Honesty, I’m still setting up aspects of my 2025 planner… even now! 😂 I’m trying to remind myself that it’s okay if it’s a slow, adaptive process 😬😅

Thank you so much! My partner was very skeptical about going so dark in hallway, but he loves it. It’s been more than a year since we painted it and have had zero issues with it. It’s such a great colour and paint brand!

Yay! I hope you find to helpful! It’s amazing how much I would forget if I didn’t document it. 😅

Thank you so much! I’m glad to hear that you found this helpful for your health and wellness weeks! Wishing you all the best for 2025! ☺️

Thank you so much for these tips! 😍 You’re so right about the brush - that’s probably how some of the wood from my brush cracked off. I have a wet palette that I was using for gouache, but I never thought to keep my dry pan wet, so I’m going to try the mist of water as well! 🎨

Thank you for stopping by! I actually feel similarly! I love following creators from Toronto - and watching tv shows that are clearly filmed here. Covert Affairs was really fun to watch because they kept going to Allen’s, which is where I went on my first date with my partner. They didn’t even change the name of the bar for the show! 😍

Thank you so much! If you’re referring to the fabric one, it’s called Laurent Garigue: Twinkle Tweed from Hobonichi! If it’s another one you’re thinking about, let me know and I’ll pass along any additional details I can. :)

@ thank you it was the fabric one I really liked. 😊

Thank you! It was so nice to reflect on my experience while putting this together. While I tried to be as strategic and intentional as possible, a few impulse purchases definitely came home with me 😅

Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear that this gave you some ideas. I’d be curious to hear what you think about using the kinbor weeks! I’ve seen a few videos on them and they seem like great Hobonichi Weeks alternatives!

@@LittleCocoStudio I have a video about mine on my channel. I've used them for several years and I love them!

Thank you!! I’ll definitely be doing a few more early next year! 🤩

Thank you for stopping by! I’m glad to hear you found this useful for tracking your chronic issues. Until I was struggling with symptoms on a daily basis, I couldn’t connect with any type of daily tracking system. Now, it has become indispensable. I’m excited to see how the annual dashboard works (or doesn’t 😬).

Thank you! I used the pattern by TL Yarn Crafts! She had posted a video that explains how she did the join as you go method and a blog post that covers the project as well!

I tried to look up the scissors, but the exact pair don't seem to be available. The product name was "Vintage Craft Shears DIY Cross-Stitch Sewing Shears Small Dresser Embroidery Scissor Tool(Bronze)" in case you want to try taking a look! I also linked (disclaimer: it's an affiliate link) a similar pair in my video's description, right under the timestamps. I hope that helps!

What a lovely colour combination! I was considering repainting our kitchen cabinet duck green or studio green (or Bancha!). Currently, our ceilings are a standard primer white. 😳 I haven’t decided what to update it with, yet. I think Dimity would work nicely. Our walls were all painted in Benjamin moore’s intense white when we moved in, so that’s what you see on the walls. We’ve been slowly painting over it as we work on different spaces in our home. It’s a bit too cool for me, so I’d prefer to use a warmer neutral colour on the ceiling.

Thank you so much, Gina! I really enjoyed adding watercolour to my travel insert and will definitely share more if there’s interest. Happy holidays to you as well. See you in 2025! ☺️

Thank you so much, Jackie! Now that I’ve started adding watercolor to my first few pages, I think I’m going to continue throughout the rest of the insert! 🤩

@LittleCocoStudio 🩷💜

Thank you so much, Helena! I’ve really appreciated your thoughtful comments throughout the year. I’m so excited to hear that you’re stating a stationery channel. I can’t wait to follow along!!! Wishing you all the best as we head into the end of this year and see you in 2025!

I would love to be kept busy with kids! Unfortunately, after struggling with infertility for over 6 years, it hasn’t been my reality. There are lots of wonderful meal planning ideas on TH-cam. I hope you’re able to find inspiration that fits your situation and time constraints.

Thank you so much! I’ve really enjoyed your videos as well, and I look forward to following along your planner and journal adventures next year! ☺️

@@LittleCocoStudio That is so kind, thank you! ❤❤

Thank you so much, Linda! I’ve loved chatting with you in the comments throughout the year! Happy holidays to you as well. I look forward to following along your planner and journal adventures as well! ☺️

Thank you so much! Happy holidays to you and your family as well! ☺️

Yay - matching pens! I love this little pink decimo so much! What do you have it inked with?

Yes, I used washi tape for the background! I’ll share a photo in my community tab or a closer look in my next video. I tried filming myself placing the washi tape in the same way I’d install wallpaper so it looks continuous. Unfortunately, my head was blocking the camera 😆, so I’ll try to do it again. ☺️

Thank you! For the TSL customization, you don’t need to make an appointment, but I recommend going there as early as possible when they open to put in your customization order. You have to go there in person to access the customization service, and I believe they only ship within Japan. I think there are other customization options at the Traveler’s Factory locations. I didn’t look into them so I can’t speak confidently about what they offer service-wise. I thought I saw photos of adding letters to your covers. Alternatively, if ordering within the US is accessible to you, Baum Kuchen’s Truly Yours service offers a TN customization service that’s very similar to what TSL does. I hope that helps! ☺️

@ thank you for the answer! I am not in the us or the country it can be shipped to but I’m planing on going to japan this summer so it’s good to know 🫶

Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the visit. 😊 Wishing you all the best as we head to the end of 2024!

Thank you! The traveler’s notebook inserts are from the traveler’s company. They’re the vertical weekly inserts. I used large mt washi tape to add the patterned background. I will share a photo on my community tab and/or a closer look in my next video! ☺️

Thank you so much! Wishing you all the best as we wrap up 2024! ☺️

I love the idea of using your A6 for tracking wellness. Which section do you think you’ll be using for that? Haha those biscuits are such a classic. As a kid, I would begrudgingly eat them because we always had them, but I preferred chocolate chip or gingerbread cookies with lots of icing. That tin is already gone 🫢 so now I’m thinking we night get the ones with chocolate next. 😂

Ooh, please go data nerd on me! I would love to hear your perspective and am still flexible on my approach!

Thank you so much! What are some of the things you’re adding to your mental list? Even when I look back at my footage, I see things I’d add to my future mental list. If I’m ever lucky enough to go back! 🥲

Ah, yes! Someone else shared that as the original intention of the book. That was my mistake / I got too excited by the gorgeous cover to double check what type of insert it was! 😅

Thank you so much for watching and your kind words! ☺️

I had them sewn on by the staff at TSL, but they told me that the patcher could be glued as well! I haven’t personally tried it, but I am sure there is some fabric / leather glue that could work! As for ironing - I didn’t ask about that, so I don’t know if it’d be possible with these patches, specifically!
