2027 journal and planner season is here! 📚 New notebooks, releases + trends
Show notes
Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy @MyGreenCow and Meg @megjournals 📖✨
It's that time of year again where we start thinking about our 2027 journal plans! In this episode, we're chatting about the Hobonichi hype, how we've been using our journals and planners so far this year, and the evolution of notebook trends. From LEUCHTTURM1917 to old-school Filofaxes, Daisy takes a trip down memory lane with her (rather large) planner collection. Meg also share her small Hobonichi haul. And we both get distracted by the rabbit hole of colour-coded notes! Grab a cuppa and join us for a crafternoon ☕️

Why are we so obsessed with nostalgia and whimsy? (ft. Loti from Mama Makes)
Show notes
Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy @MyGreenCow and Meg @megjournals 📖✨
This week we're joined by Loti from @mamamakes . Loti is the mama, maker and professional glitter spiller behind Mama Makes. Since 2017, Loti has been helping makers find joy in creativity, connection and a little bit of crafty chaos. She invents tools, designs crafty goodies, and sometimes pops up on craft TV or at stationery events.
In this episode, Loti shares an honest look at her business journey and why she pivoted from TV presenting to making craft products she loves to use in her own journals. We also discussed the power of nostalgia in journaling and planning (vintage Filofax, anyone?) and how the 'whimsy trend' gives us permission to play and enjoy our crafty hobbies. We hope you enjoy joining us for this crafternoon!

How to keep a journal that brings you joy ft. @ella_nym
Show notes
Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy @MyGreenCow and Meg @megjournals 📖✨
This week, Meg is joined by Chris from @ella_nym to talk about nurturing your creativity, finding a journaling system that works for you, and deconstructing Hobonichis (!) This was such a delightful conversation about how we can heal our inner artist, document the things that bring us joy, and show up as ourselves in the pages of our journals. Grab a cuppa and your journal or craft supplies, and join us for a crafternoon!
Chris is a poet & multi-disciplinary maker who publishes under the pseudonym Ella Nym. Living in rural Maine with her two cats (Freida and Suki), she is a handmade-website lover, lifelong learner, and devoted member of the "i-love-journaling" fan club.
Her making practice consists of experimenting with different mediums such as fiber arts, paper crafts, and more — usually with a focus on process over product, experimentation, and finding the beauty in everyday things. She documents her creative life at the intersection of digital and analog practices across YouTube, Substack (Nym's Notes), and Patreon.

How to start a mindful creative practice with Ian from @ThePaperSparrow
Show notes
Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy @MyGreenCow and Meg @megjournals 📖✨
This week Meg is joined by Ian from @ThePaperSparrow to chat about using journaling as a mindful creative practice, the joy of running a journaling club to build creative community, and Ian's collection of Kaweco fountain pens! Join us for this crafternoon full of stationery supplies and create in your journal - and as Ian says, let the paper fulfil its destiny!
Ian is an avid journal keeper and analogue enthusiast. Having fallen into the journaling habit during lockdown, Ian discovered the practice of journaling was a great creative outlet for recording ideas, emotions and the simple joys of everyday life. Knowing the beneficial impact journal keeping can have on mental health from personal experience, he hopes to encourage others into exploring this useful tool to express and reflect.
Ian hosts a monthly Journal Club at Hunter Paper Co, Northern Ireland’s leading independent stationery store. The Journal Club is a collective of new and seasoned journalers who get together to share a few creative and fun hours.

Why is everyone 'going analogue'? Screen-free hobbies + social media trends

___________
Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy @MyGreenCow and Meg @megjournals 📖✨
Everyone is in their 'going analogue' era in 2026, so we thought we'd chat about this shift away from the digital world! From analogue hobbies to physical media, the return to a slower paced life is on the rise... but is it just another trend?
As lifelong journalers and creatives, we're so excited to see people embracing a more 'analogue life'! We talk about the discourse on social media, the different analogue hobbies that we enjoy, and what we keep in our versions of an analogue bag!
We also touch on how we can all be mindful of overconsumption, and ways we can make these screen-free hobbies part of our daily lives long-term.
Oh, and a knitting update, of course!! We hope you enjoy joining us for this crafternoon ☕️📚🧶
