I Keep Making These

 

One day, my hands were itching.

Not the kind that asks for rest…
the kind that insists on creating something, even if you don’t yet know what that something is.

I was packing for a trip, slipping my usual things into place, when I picked up my travel journal.

It’s small. Too small, sometimes.

The kind you bring because it’s convenient… not because it’s comfortable.

And I remember thinking—

Wouldn’t it be nice to have something just as portable… but wider?
Something that lets your thoughts stretch a little.
Something that doesn’t make you fight for space when all you want to do is write.

Something… pretty.

Not just functional. Not just there.

But something you’d want to reach for.

So I made one.

Just one.

A small notebook. Five by five.
Wide enough to breathe, small enough to carry, simple enough to not overthink.

And then—

I made another.

And another.

And another.

I didn’t plan a collection.

I didn’t sit down and say, this will be a product.

I just kept choosing patterns that felt like moods.

Soft florals. Quiet greens.
Little prints that reminded me of something I couldn’t quite name, only feel.

And somehow, they kept turning into these small books that feel like they’re meant to be filled slowly.

Not rushed. Not forced.

Just… lived in.

I still don’t think of them as “products.”

They feel more like little keepers.

Of notes.
Of ideas that come and go.

Of small memories from a coffee out with a friend or shopping with your mom. 

For the kind of thoughts you don’t want to lose just because you didn’t have somewhere nice to put them.

If you’ve been asking where to find them,
they’re already up on Shopee and on my FB page (links below).

But more than that—

I think I’m going to keep making these.

Because my hands don’t seem to know how to stop. 😊
