Sherlock Holmes Journal 

This journal is wonderful! I did read all the original stories about 40 years ago in my early teens. I loved Jeremy Brett in the Granada TV show in the 80s. I watched it via the “Mystery “ show on PBS from Seattle. I live in BC. Now I have read all the books set starting in 1915 with Sherlock and his wife Mary Russell.

Your ability to always gather the most perfect ephemera always astounds me!!

This is what Google says: The phrase comes from Shakespeare's King Henry IV Part I, 1597: "Before the game is afoot, thou still let'st slip." It is also a phrase used by Sherlock Holmes when pursuing a lead in a case. This Journal is amazing!

Love this. Love all your journals. You get them so right, if that makes any sense?! 😁 They always feel so thoughtfully made and I always wonder where you get your perfect ephemera and charms! 😄 Yes, 221b Baker Street is a real address in London and does have a blue plaque on the wall. It’s in an ordinary street in a row of houses and if you didn’t know it was there, you would walk straight past it. I am in the U.K., but not a Londoner. Love your gentle, quiet videos. ☺️ Thank you for all you share. 🙏😊💝💕

Beautiful journal, as usual. The game is afoot” means “the situation is happening.” It is a hunting metaphor, where “the game” refers to the animal that is being hunted and “afoot” refers to it being on foot, or moving. The phrase comes from Shakespeare's King Henry IV Part I, 1597: "Before the game is afoot, thou still let'st slip." It is also a phrase used by Sherlock Holmes when pursuing a lead in a case. It’s a metaphor from hunting, the literal meaning of which is that the prey (“game”) is out of covert and running (“afoot”), and usually implying that it’s time you were up and after it. Used often by Sherlock Holmes, sometimes with a meaning very close to the literal; sometimes just that his strategy has begun to play out, and he (and Watson) need to get going to follow it through

I love how you use themes in your journals. And everything inside that reminds you of that theme. Linen & flannel cover is perfect for Sherlock Holmes. Love the faded British flag on inside cover. And page of postage stamps is very cool. Can't imagine how you found a pipe charm!!! Crazy!! Only YOU would find that!! I loved watching Sherlock Holmes films as a child. And still do now. Great journal. Great job. Thanks for video. Austin,TX USA

This totally made my day! Holmes is my favorite literary figure and you totally did him justice with this journal! Absolutely wonderful!! Thanks for sharing! :)

My husband had never read the "real" Sherlock Holmes. I quickly remedied that situation!. Funny, I've been having the Basil Rathbone movies showing up on my RU-vid feed. Had me thinking about doing a Sherlock journal. Timing is everything.

Oh my, how do I love this. All of the thought, care & detail that went into this tribute to Sherlock is fantastic.

It is always a treat to watch one of your flip-throughs. The thoughtfulness and research that goes into them is fascinating. Thanks!

Gorgeous Mrs. Cog! But I expect nothing less! You are amazing! 😊

What a perfect journal to honor Sherlock! When I was seventeen, which was over fifty years ago, I spent the summer between high school graduation and starting college reading a book that contained all the collected Holmes short stories and novels. This video makes me want to revisit every one of them. The colors and textures are amazing, and the choice of ephemera and embellishments is spot on. Love it!

Love this journal, big fan of Sherlock Hilmes. The Postum add you had on one page is actually a drink . It's sold today. My great grandmother got me hooked on it in the 60's. When she turned 100 yrs.old ,a grocery store gave her a case of it. She passed at 109 yrs. I still drink Postum today.

Just lovely! What a great job and I loved to hear some of the history of the author. TYFS ❤️✨✨✨

love that you always make a smaller version of your art for yourself. Such a good idea ! Wonderful journal !

Absolutely lovely, you never cease to amaze with your beautiful and well thought out work. Thank you for always sharing your journals, it is truly inspirational. Take care Mrs Cog and good to hear Mum is on the mend and with you.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Perfect choices of fabrics not too feminine but still Victorian and soft.

The word that came to my mind as I watched this was Scrumptious!! I was so sad to see the final page. You've done an AMAZING job on this, and whoever receives it will own a work of art!! God bless you!! 😊❤️

These are such wonderful journals! The key and magnifying glass are the perfect touch.

I love your journal so thoughtfully and stylishly done, especially love your ephemera

I love all the work you put into your journals, they are so beautiful.

So incredible. Love all the pictures and quotes you used. Beautiful journal.

Ha ha, I too have my hoards that I just can use. I laugh at my kids having to figure things out one day. Your journal is pure excellence. Thank you for sharing

So happy to see your work again. As usual you have done an amazing job on this journal. Oh my goodness, Spring cannot come too soon for me. It is desperately cold here…day after day. 🇨🇦

Ohmygosh , this is so cool. I love it. TFS. Another great journal . 🙏💜👍🏻

Absolutely gorgeous!! Love the theme

Magnificent! Of course, I love Sherlock Holmes. You did a fabulous job! Brilliant. Now, I need to go back to my books and do additional reading to remind me of my wonderful experiences reading my books for the first time. Thank you. Carol from California

Oh, Liz, this is fabulous! Love it!

Absolutely fabulous, as are all your journals. 👍🥰❤️

A happy surprise, Liz. Thanks for sharing. Carol

Your work is always amazing Mrs. C. Thankyou for sharing this journal, I loved seeing it. You named the club correctly, Sherlock and his brother were misogynists.

Another fabulous journal! The research you do and all the perfect ephemera you find just amaze me. As a side note, Postum is a caffeine free beverage made from roasted grain. My father in law used to drink it at night because coffee kept him awake. It was invented by the man who owned Post cereal.

I am in love with that journal!

Thank you for the flip-through! What a fun journal, and very inspiring.

Fabulous as always Liz, thank you for sharing Hugs. Maggie ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️

Liz!!! Always remarkable and so reCOGnizable🥰 I’m throwing out messages to “my crew” as I’ve chosen to call you. Those of you that got me started, faster than I could imagine, into this JJ world gave me so much. I’ve been AWOL for several reasons but I’ve finally made some journals again and I’m reckoning that my YT phobia will once again be conquered. I owe you more than one, Liz!!! And I’m happy to say - I’m back!🤗☘️🐝🍯 Making it public !

Beautiful ! As always, I love all of your flip throughs .

Beautiful journal with exquisite details! TFS the inspiration!

Beautiful and detailed journal....gorgeous.

Just adored this journal, Mrs. Cog. Cat on lap so can't write much at the mo!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. I've always been a Holmes fan. I'm amazed at all the little things you found to include. Aren't the quotes great! 🙂

I think this is my favorite of your journals.

I love this journal!! You are amazing in how much you know about each subject you feature in your journals. I love getting one because they read like a book and have so much information!!! One of my first books as a teenager was Sherlock Holmes. I love the key and magnifying glass with his address.

Mrs. Cog. It's Autumn 2022 and I'm sure you are canning that delicious squash soap. You are such a Bibliophile and I think your journals are excellent...quality, content and quotes. I have followed you for years. I can't believe I missed this one. Just perfect.

I absolutely love this journal. It is amazing. 💖💖💖

Oh Mrs. Cog, this is wonderful! I love all the fun, interesting things you add to your journals! So inspiring!! ❤️🧐

Love it! Your journals are magical! I'm a Sherlock Holmes fan too!

Phenomenal! I absolutely love it.

Mrs. Cog, could you do a video on how you come up with your ideas for your journals. I think the Van Gogh series were pure art. Beautiful. I love them all.

This is fabulous!!! I love it!!🤗😘💕

Why is it that the kitties always wait till you are on camera to start brawling, mine would do the same! 😂 Lovely Sherlock Journal. 💗

Well! I found and got your kit. :-) I can't wait to incorperate it into the journal I'm making for a mystery writer friend of mine.

Mrs Cogg you did it again. Amazing work & thanks for the education on Sherlock Holmes. I love to read & I suppose I have a new project ahead of me. Thanks for the inspiration.🗝🎻

Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing 😍💕🌴

just watched this one again, love it very very much! I would like to do a sherlock journal, love that you used the digis of watches and magnifying glass, just perfect Liz xx

So pretty, thank you for sharing!

Love it. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

I love pocket journals. Could we get a peek at the Sherlock that you made for yourself. I love all your journals, lovely.

Hi! I came across you sharing your Sherlock journal. Also saw the glimpse of the smaller one you did. Would love a quick look see at that one! I’ve been collecting to do one as well. I’m thinking more the smaller one. You nailed yours! Love it! Time to get my stuff out and get it started! Thanks for sharing!

Your attention to detail is beyond Amat.

So lovely! Thx for sharing. You’re a genius yourself. Good luck with your mother. i hope you are okay!

Very nice. Interesting subject.

OMG MRS COGG YOU ARE AMAZING,😍 WHAT IT WOULD MEAN TO ACTUALLY OWN ONE OF YOUR GEM JOURNALS, THEY'RE INCREDIBLE. LOL SO WOULD BE THE LIST OF INSPIRING BUYERS. MAY U ALWAYS FIND PEACE, JOY AND LOVE. A HUGE FAN FROM OZ DOWN UNDER. 🥰

Perfection!!💜💜💜

Love this!!!!

Oh My Gosh, this journal is marvelous! So much authenticity and thought went into each element resulting in a truly meaningful journal. Glad to have discovered your channel. (I visited Baker Street when I went to London on a "fam trip" and devoured bangers and mash at a nearby pub.)

Amazing journal! Each page is a delight 😍I always learn so much and feel inspired after watching your videos

Both look great. I love how you always get charms matching your themes . TFS xxxx

Amazing work!!

Another gorgeous journal, as always. You never cease to amaze me with the journals you create and all the homesteading and growing of things. I would be over the moon with joy if I had neighbors like you and yours living nearby. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your beautiful creations and your homestead gardening. I pray that you and yours are all doing well where you are. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

Love this!

Found it!! Lol ... but it is best known as a much-quoted line by Sherlock Holmes, the "consulting detective" of the stories and books written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The only time Holmes actually says the line is in The Adventure of the Abbey Grange: "Come, Watson, come!" he cried. "The game is afoot!" It's original use was by Shakespeare in King Henry the 4th part 1

Amazing!!

Such an amazingly gorgeous journal., 💚

Mrs Cog, have you seen the sherlock holmes storys starring Jeremy Brett. I think you might enjoy them a lot. its a tv series from england from 1990 and the costumes are very accurate. there are some left on you tube as well. Thanks for the video of your delightful journal!

Aside from it's use in King Henry IV, the phrase “the game is afoot” is also used in Shakespeare's Henry V, Act 3, Scene 1: The game is afoot. Follow your spirit and upon this charge - Cry, God for Harry, England and Saint George! The only time Holmes actually says the line is in The Adventure of the Abbey Grange: "Come, Watson, come!" he cried. "The game is afoot.

Lovely journal!! Love Sherlock! Who is your favourite actor to portray him? I’m glad your mom is safe at home with you. 💜

💜💜💜

PS I think the quote, "The Game is Afoot" comes from THE ADVENTURE OF THE ABBEY GRANGE

🥰❤️🥰

i love this, big fan of sherlock, and christie. Curious where you find things like that key and other great items

Oh I absolutely love this journal. I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. Well done. I've been looking at different books of letters. Can I ask which one you have? ACD: His life in letters or The Sherlock Holmes Letters edited by R.L. Green?

I wish I could sew a straight line! Your fabric tabs and other inclusions are perfect. Is the paper with the black corner flourishes something you made, or did you buy it for the choirs?
