❤❤Cute Kokeshi Doll: Set of 3 Pagemarkers ❤❤

Thank you so much for all the comments on the last post!  I really appreciate all of them!

I was planning on writing about my new stickers on this post, but I started working on some new page-markers after reading the comments on my last post, and I’d like to write about them first!

Like *Stationary Addict* said in the comment section, if you set a few page-markers in the binder they would overlap in the same spot and you wouldn’t be able to see the ones behind properly.  I was actually worried about exactly the same thing, so decided to follow what she said:
“would be good to have them staggered like tabs on dividers so they can be more easily seen.”

I worked on them REALLY HARD last night…!

And printed them out this morning, TA-DAH!

This is after I cut them out and laminated them.

So these page-markers have tabs like dividers.

Unlike dividers the width of these page-markers is only 5 cm, so the tabs are overlapping like the image above, but you still can see the faces of the Kokeshi girls 🙂

I could have made the tabs wider, but I made them like this because I wanted them away from the rings as much as possible as it’s easier to flick them over.

Close shots:

I set them up in the Filofax I’m using now.  They are quite cheerful, aren’t they!

I used three Kokeshi girls Clara, Amy and Louise this time, but I’m also thinking of making another set just like these with Saffron and Tama.  I won’t be able to make a set of more than 3 page-markers, but if you get two sets you can have 6 page-markers in total 🙂

Once I make three more page-markers I will put them all up on my Etsy shop!

Thank you for reading!

❤❤Cute Kokeshi Doll Pagemarkers ❤❤

It was my birthday on Wednesday, and on that day I took the train in the morning to do a Japanese calligraphy (shodo) workshop in Northern Liverpool!  This lovely artist I know teaches pottery and he asked me to do a workshop for his pottery students.  I was totally nervous at the beginning, but his students were really lovely so I could enjoy the workshop myself in the end.  I hope they enjoyed it, too!!

*I’m hiding their faces as I forgot to ask them if it was alright to put the photos up on my blog!

Then in the evening my mother-in-law brought some presents and her homemade birthday cake for me!  It was such a gorgeous cake with chocolate cream inside.

So now my birthday is over, and I’ve been working on some new items like page-markers and calendar stickers.  I’d like to show you some sample page-markers I’ve made.

I made a window in the middle for the blue one.  If there is a window like this it becomes uneven when I laminate it, so it’s not my favourite type of page-marker to make (lol!), but I LOVE the window for some reason so I really wanted to make a sample with a window.

This is how it looks when it’s set in my Pocket sized Filofax (Finsbury).  (I’m thinking of making them in three sizes: Pocket, Personal and A5.)

The ribbon pops out from the top.

This page-marker is approx. 45mm wide.

And the pink one is more simple, but it’s longer.

So you can turn the page from either the top or the bottom.

The width is also 45mm, but it looks quite wide in my Pocket Finsbury, doesn’t it??

I’m thinking of making a set of multiple page-markers instead of just selling one, so I’d like to ask you what kind of set you would like to have!  How many page-markers would you want in one set?  Any preferable size?  Colours?

*You can see more details of the one on the right on THIS PAGE.

I would really appreciate your opinions!!  And thank you for reading!

Last night, I was thinking about making some page markers but I couldn’t come up with the designs I really like…
So I decided to make one with the idea which I came up with long ago to help me refresh my thoughts!

Here is the “See-thru divider” which I made a while back, and I was going to make something similar but a cuter version of it 🙂

I did some designing on Photoshop based on my rough sketches…

Then I printed it out and cut out the parts I didn’t need.  It was a bit of a hassle to cut out the middle part, but I managed it somehow.

Then I laminated it with a laminator, but it’s not 100% flat, can you see?

When I use my laminator it always becomes ever so slightly uneven, so I always use a clothes iron afterwards to make it smooth and flat.

And here is the finished sample of the “See-Thru Page Marker”!

To be honest, the original version of the See-Thru divider (the first photo) was more practical as you can see both pages perfectly when the divider is in between.  But this one is a lot cuter 🙂

Thank you for reading!

New Pocket Finsbury and Colourful Monthly Calendar :)

<<INFORMATION>>
A5 dividers are now available at Japan Corner 🙂

I’ve been wanting to design more refills, stickers, Today markers…etc., but I just don’t have enough time…!   I guess I can do that after Christmas 🙂  I’ve also been wanting to make some cute week-to-view refills, but I’m short on time at the moment so I just made these simple ones for now.

They are just simple refills, but they’ve got more space compared to Filofax week on two pages.

By the way, I like my new Finsbury.  The very first Filofax I bought was Pocket Finsbury Aqua, but I damaged the front cover and tried to fix it but I made it even worse… 😦  So I bought a Pocket Malden, and I liked it, but I couldn’t forget about the Finsbury..!  I just like its stiff leather and squareness.

The colour is Antique Rose, and it’s grayish pink.  I love pink, but I’m so clumsy, so this grayish pink is perfect for me as any damage to it won’t be so obvious 🙂

These are the monthly calendar pages for November.

They are quite colourful…maybe too colourful!?

I hope I can show you some new refills/stickers/today markers sometime soon!

Kokeshi Dividers for Personal FINALLY READY :)

Thank you very much for all the measuring Suzee and Ray!  I worked on the see-thru window for the Personal size this weekend!

The measurements are as shown below according to Suzee:

And thank you for the extra information, Ray!  The size could be slightly different depending on the inserts you buy!

So I made the see-thru window like this:

You might need to re-write your registration number on a new insert for the registration number so you can see your number through the window properly.

I made some samples and tested just in case.

I used my husband’s Collins binder as I don’t have any Personal Filofax.

Then I made some adjustments…

And here they are, they are FINALLY ready!

5 personalised dividers for Personal:

And the Registration Number Cover for Personal:

Tabs:

There are two versions availabel:

1) Regular set- 5 personalised dividers

2) Special Set- 5 personalised dividers & 1 personalised registration number cover

They are available here:

Thank you very much for waiting for the Personal size, and now I will start working on the A5 size as well!  A5 is quite large, and I really hope they’ll turn out nicely…!!  Please check this blog for latest updates 😉

Thank you very much for reading!

Kokeshi Dividers for Personal Size are ALMOST ready!

I made some sushi and California roll tonight!  I make them probably once or twice a month.  I don’t really know if it’s ok to eat raw fish in England, so I buy smoked salmon just in case.  When I make sushi I always make some California roll as well.  I usually put avocado, cucumber and some crab sticks inside the roll, but I also added some red pepper this time.  I use pudding rice for sushi by the way.  I think they are close enough to the Japanese sticky rice 🙂

The “shari” (the rice part) of my salmon sushi were way too large!  I should have used less rice, but I had too much rice compared to the amount of salmon…lol!  Oh, well, they tasted really nice anyway 😛

And here are the sample dividers I just made for the Personal Filofax 🙂  The last thing I have to do is make a registration number cover.  BUT!  I only have the Pocket Filofaxes, and I really really hope someone who has a Personal Filofax can help me find out these sizes for me!!

Would anyone please measure A to E ↓↓↓ in “mm” and let me know in the comment section for me??  (It’s the registration number page which comes with Filfax inserts.)  Thank you so much in advance…!!!

Once the registration number cover is made I can put them up in my shop 🙂  Thank you very much for waiting!

Super Cute Kokeshi Doll Personalised Dividers with Tabs!

It’s been a busy week for me, but I was also able to work on the new dividers!  I was asked if I made dividers to sell, so I thought I would give it a try 🙂

Some ideas came into my head, so I started sketching on a piece of paper…

Then I scanned them into my computer, and created new characters based on the sketches before making dividers from them.

I finally finished all the designing and could print them out last night!  These  are for the Pocket size by the way.

After laminating all the dividers I realized that the “ADDRESS” should have been “ADDRESSES” and had to make the green divider all over again!!  Boo!!

Anyway, here are the completed new dividers!  I think they are pretty cute, hehe!

And do you remember my Registration Number cover?

I made a new one to match with the new dividers!  It’s got a see-through window of course 🙂

If you write your registration number on this page↓ you can see it through the window of the registration number cover 🙂

Oh, by the way, this is my new Finsbury which I bought recently!  I love it, and I’d love to write about it sometime soon 🙂

I hope you like my new dividers!  The ones for the Pocket size are available in my shop at the moment (these are personalized dividers), but if I receive a request I could make them for Personal size as well 🙂

Ready to offer CUTE Month On Two Pages!

I finally managed to finish designing the Month On Two Pages (for 2013) for both Pocket and Personal sizes!  These refills are designed, printed and carefully hand-cut by me. And here they are!

Pocket:

Personal:

(I wish I could offer larger refills as well, but the ink is really pricey and I would have to charge way too much for them even if I made them 😦 I really wish there was a way to get them printed out more cheaply!)

The Pocket and Personal refills are available here↓

Thank you for reading and please let me know if you have any questions about any of my items!
