Sharing my thoughts on the different types of Kaweco nibs along with a new currently inked and new pen day!

Sometimes you get a pen that just doesn’t click… but that’s one of the great things about this hobby, so many things to try! This week a pen that didn’t work out, a pen that did, and some new inky fun!

Thinking of my Bic Cristal days and pondering whether that’s why I love Colorverse Office Blue so much.

Eight currently inked pens and some traveler’s notebook rearranging.

I was flying through different inks and papers this week looking for inspiration. I was reminded of an important lesson - sometimes the nib really does matter.

I really love notebook systems. It lets me play with all sorts of inserts while also having a beautiful cover with character. A little retelling of where I started and where I am today.

Paper discoveries and old favorites in the first month of 2023. I am also rediscovering some old favorite inks and trying out some new ones that I’ve had for a while.

My very first ink review! I am looking at Ferris Wheel Press Velvet Ballet. It’s a great subtle shimmer ink for when you are looking for a red, but don’t want something too bold.

Some thoughts on how I record my “Did” lists instead of “To-do” lists.

Went on my first vacation in a long while (a real vacation, not just a little trip jaunt) and then immediately got sick afterwards. With me the whole way were my pens and papers.

A currently inked update with some thoughts about papers and an ink that is from my past.

Rambling a little bit about goals for the new year and exploring some inks that I haven’t tried in a while (or at all!)
