The Superior Labor and MY Mistakes | Leather Repair, Canvas Pouch Rescue & Cozy Stationery Stories

Today I’m sharing the full story of how I accidentally ruined two of my Superior Labor items — and how I brought them back to life with a mix of patience, creativity, and a little bit of chaos. First up is my canvas pouch: Ink stains on the canvas, ink stains on the leather, a hand‑sewn patch, star stamping experiments, and a full mink‑oil glow‑up. She went through it… but she’s beautiful now. Then my natural leather wallet: I fixed it, messed it up again, tried gold embossing (which absolutely did not cooperate), and finally committed to staining the entire wallet black. Honestly, the final result surprised me in the best way. To end on a peaceful note, I’m also sharing a quick show‑and‑tell of my new Galen Leather nib holder — no disasters, just a happy little stationery moment. As well as my updates to my Superior Labor Tote that I got at the Hello Houston Event last August. I added some red punchy color accents to it 😉. If you enjoy stationery stories, fountain pens, leather repair, or cozy creative content, I hope you enjoy spending time with me today.
