I have a couple more types coming as well, but it'll be later this week. I figured I should try Rhodia but I suspect it'll be similar to Clairefontaine. Also heard some good things about Maruman Mnemosyne.

I really wanted to try Yamamoto Paper Cosmo Note/Cosmo Air Light paper but I can't find any US vendors I trust that have it in stock.

Good news, Midori MD acts like Midori MD Cotton, very little reaction to UV, so it's also excellent like Tomoe River.

Also tried Life Noble Note and a Paperage Notebook, both were also excellent. Very little reaction all around.

Paperage had a few fibers here and there in the paper that reacted but not much. A little more than the Midori MD cotton. Life Noble was uniformly great all over, like Tomoe River. All of those are miles ahead of others I've tried so far.

FOMO got me on this one since I missed the earlier sets with Thrawn and Ezra, and the reseller prices are insane.

At a discount this set would definitely be a better value, hopefully you can find one when they go on clearance.

Finished building the "Ahsoka Tano's Duel on Peridea" Lego set 75385 last night. The minifigs are great, but the set itself is so-so. Not particularly difficult or interesting. Not bad, but not great either. Pretty much just an expensive way to get minifigs of Ezra, Thrawn, and a Night Trooper.

If you want Ahsoka, The T-6 shuttle is much better: 75362

If you want Morgan Elsbeth, 75364 is also much better, but this fig is much different than that one.

My main barrier with sewing has always been finding projects.

I've made more dice bags than I'll ever need, bowl holders for soup bowls which have been super useful, masks when supplies were low, a couple infinity scarves, lots of clothing repairs... But I haven't done anything in a while since I just haven't come up with anything interesting to do.
