TWSBI

After all the hoopla on Fountain Pen Network – I had to try one.  This is a Twsbi – Medium nib.

Writing sample with Iroshizuku ink in Fuyu-Syogun.  I have to say – all the hoopla was right on.  Love this pen and for the price I can have several in different nib sizes.  [...]

New to the Herd

I got a lovely new fountain pen for Christmas – a Visconti Homo Sapien.

Can’t wait to catch up on my correspondence this week.  I’m way too far behind on that as well as other thing.  After getting sick at Thanksgiving I never did manage to recover.

Until now.  I’m finally making a [...]

Purse Pen

So several weeks ago I was offered a lovely Estie purse pen from Julie at Whatever.

I immediately snapped up her offer, but have to admit I’ve been so busy lately I haven’t had a chance to ink her.  Next time I ink – I’ll get her into the rotation.  I have a [...]

Also lookie what I got today -

Happy Holidays

Howdy!  I hope you’re all having a great holiday season.  I’ve been busier than a one-armed paper hanger.  Let me catch you all up to speed.  Faygo kitty is doing well.  He’s back to killing his toy mice.  I think he’s actually gaining weight too.  No doubt, since I’ve been chasing him around feeding him [...]

Healing

Sorry it’s been at least a fortnight.  I’ve been busy healing.  First of look at this lovely plant that my friend Dawn gave me after my surgery.

Then I also got a lovely tea cozy as a get well soon gift from Julie.

Finally there has been spinning…

I had to sit [...]

Finally Some Sun

So after several dreary days of rain we are actually seeing the sun.

So I have been serious big by the Waterman bug and couldn’t resist this shimmery pink fine point Waterman Hemisphere.  Isn’t she lovely?  She writes so smooth.  I inked her with J. Herbin’s Violette Pensee, which is now another new favorite [...]
