Casual catchup + cozy pen log session | sailor pro gear slim LINE FRIENDS BROWN, traveler's notebook

Hi, friends! I hope you’re doing well. This week’s video is a casual, crafternoon-style hangout, where I work on updating my pen log and paint my Sailor Pro Gear Slim Line Friends Brown fountain pen. I also chat about what’s on my mind this week. I start by sharing my first impressions of my new fountain pen ink from Lennon Tool Bar’s Sesame Oil (it’s great!). Also, I discuss why working on creative projects like this has been perfect for me during this busy season of my life. It offers a lot of structure, certainty on the steps required to complete it, requires low time commitment, and has no end date. I would love to hear about some of the creative projects, if any, you like to turn to, when you're looking to recharge and relax. Also, if you have any feedback or requests for future videos, please let me know! Thanks for being here; I appreciate you! 💗 Videos mentioned: Slowing down and staying focused with year-long creative projects | crochet temperature blanket https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb2nNAHClIo&t=4s Products mentioned: I purchased both of these from @Yoseka :) Sailor Pro Gear Slim - LINE FRIENDS - BROWN (EF nib): https://yosekastationery.com/products/sailor-pro-gear-slim-line-friends-brown Lennon Tool Bar - Sesame Oil: https://yosekastationery.com/products/lennon-tool-bar-2021-winter-limited-sesame-oil?_pos=26&_sid=dfe155be6&_ss=r Fountain pen ink mentioned: Birmingham Pen Co - Rotted Cork: https://www.birminghampens.com/products/rotted-cork?_pos=1&_sid=697cbdd91&_ss=r (sample from Danielle!)
