At this time of year, many of us feel compelled to declare resolutions, which can end up feeling like rather punishing self-improvement targets, rather than things we can actually look forward to!
So this year, we are inviting you to share your plans for the year ahead instead, because putting things in the Diary (either in pen, or pencil), gives us things to look forward to as the days start getting longer and the year starts to take shape.
For a chance to win a 2026 Diary Gift Set with your choice of Diary, simply tell us in the comments below: 'What's in the Diary for 2026?'. See below for further details.
To kick things off, we invited some friends of Mark+Fold to share their plans for the year and here's what they had to say:
Margo Selby, British textile artist
"We are handweaving Vestements for Blackburn Cathedral's centenary this year, its a very special project which is keeping all the weavers busy."
Amy Cooper-Wright, Mark+Fold Founder
"After an incredible 10th anniversary year for Mark+Fold, I am excited to build on everything that we achieved last year. I am also hoping that 'Uncle Mark' will be treating me to a paper research trip to Japan!"
Patrick Grant, designer, presenter and founder of Community Clothing
"Trying to write another book, and now my house is largely done a lot of serious gardening."
Magnus Long, furniture designer
"Travel. Play. New collaborations."
