Lets Talk About .... Midoris!

Hello Hello and welcome. Please sit and sip away at your hot beverage and let me INSPIRE you with projects and ideas!

Last year I got into the Midori Traveler's Notebooks. They have been around for ages, I have just been oblivious. Midori is a brand name for a planner system from Japan, but like many things people have worked out how to make their own. The original Midori is very easy to construct which is what I did after buying a LARGE piece of leather.

Making the booklets or inserts was rather simple too. The best part being that it is all very customisable for your personal needs and requirements. 

Then I found that people liked my book kits which needed to be resized to fit the dimensions of the traveler's notebook. So I bring you the next step in PRETTY Planners!



The book kits will be resized to be able to be printed off on A4 paper and turned into inserts. This one is available on the webstore for purchase and I will be making a few from time to time.

The Digital Pack is also available for download, without the ephemera. However the ephemera can be purchased separately as a download.

My Journey So Far

Hello everybody. I realised that I have been super quiet for the last month because of life stuff but I felt I should let you all know where I am at right now.

So, at the end of February I posted this on my Facebook Page. At this point I was waiting to see surgeons and find out what is happening with my pesky right knee.

For those of you who are unawares of what has been happening in my world, I suffered a knee injury in Oct 2015. It has not healed. When i can do some designing I do, but a lot of the time I am in a fair amount of pain. New content is on its way to the webstore and there will be much celebration when it does. Stay tuned!!!

Stay Tuned indeed!

There are complications to my knee and I have just have to wait for further doctors appointments. In the meantime I am determined to get on with my life as best I can in the situation I am in.

After being on crutches though for 5 months I was so exhausted every day I didn't do much. I am now in a wheelchair, which allows me more mobility and less pain. I am also able to be more active with less fatigue. As a result my entire workspace and crafting area is being altered to accommodate the wheelchair. So far after a week I am doing ok.

From a week ago. Head to the blog for more information. ・・・ Day 1. Waiting in the kitchen for my coffee to brew. Struggling to accept that I am an a wheelchair. I get that it is to make things easier and less painful but for an active person to be in a wheelchair is like chipping a bird's wings.

The great part is I am getting back into the swing of things and plan to have some new stuff available on my webstore very soon. I am having to have my craft desk lowered so I can use it but at least I have my computer desk sorted. It has been hard going but I am sure that things will work out in the end. Staying positive and looking forward to some creative times to share with you all.
