April Stationery Roundup
Guest livestream, TCMC Estie, and more
Hi friends, I hope you were able to find time in April to be creative and play with stationery. Here’s what I was up to, stationery-wise:
I was a guest on Marina’s YouTube livestream, where we chatted about watercolour paints, painting, and (of course) using fountain pens to create art.
While we were chatting, I painted with fountain pen inks - a process I find relaxing and a way to keep my hands busy so I can focus. Check it out if that interests you:
PLANNER & JOURNAL UPDATE
As we roll into Q2, I made slight changes to my planner and journal lineup, which I feel confident about. Overall, the A5 PLOTTER is still my catch-all system with the Hobonichi Weeks assisting with a monthly and weekly overview that I can take with me on-the-go.
Alongside my 2 planners, I have 6 journals that I update various times throughout the week/month. My favourite journal at the moment is the Sterling Ink N2 compact planner, which I use to track and document my interests and hobbies.
Is anyone else already thinking about their planner system for 2026? Because I’ve been mulling things over…
ACQUISITION
I’m so excited to have acquired the Esterbrook x TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Estie fountain pen, matching ink called “Forgotten Iced Coffee” and blotter paper set. The Journaler nib in the pen writes so smoothly, I’ve just been having a blast writing with it.

COMING UP
I’m currently working on a special workshop project for TombowUSA, which I think will be helpful for anyone wanting to practice creativity and art. It will launch mid-May and I’m super excited to share more soon.
If you want to hang out with me virtually, I host regular stationery livestreams on Twitch (Wed and Fri mornings) - it’s a chill place to chat and practice art. Replays are uploaded to YouTube so you can catch it later too (if you have been, I appreciate that so much!)
Until next time, thanks for being here!
