The idea with this Weekly Thread is to encourage people to participate more by sharing a theme. See that as an invitation, nothing more and you’re more than welcome to comment about anything else related to journaling, or to start your own thread while ignoring this one.

This week theme: Where do you journal?

Do you like to write your journal at home, comfortably installed on your desk or maybe on a couch or in the bed? Or do you journal everywhere you go? And how? Do you do it on your phone, or in your journal (that you carry everywhere you go?) or maybe in smaller notebook?

Sorry for the late reply, you may have noticed my last message announcing I won’t be available a lot for the time being.

No problem at all, personal time and health first !

a few stapled sheets of paper with a nice cover made out of recycled cardboard (from a sturdy pasta package :p)

Ahah, it's great ! Since I started bookbinding, I keep everything that may be useful (cardboards from promotional calendar, marbled paper scraps, etc.).

Have you covered your journal with nice paper ? What kind of sewing did you use ? The coptic binding method is quite easy (well it takes a little bit of patience on the first try), you can sew different signatures together and the notebook lays flat. The Japanese method is much easier and quite decorative, but I don't really like it for writing because the notebooks don't open properly.

Best method, imho ;)

I seldom do that. And nowadays I seldom make any nice notebook myself (I will do quick & dirty ones for specific needs) but back then I used to a few types. I leanred traditional bookbinding and loved to to do that so... ;) Coptic is both easy and gives great results. Plus it looks cool.
