A week in doodles 49/17

Hi everyone!

It’s starting to look a lot like winter over here! We had some snow, but not that much, and it all melted away quickly. During the weekend we got our Christmas tree, and only lost two baubles in the decorating process 😉

Mark and I got to enjoy a couple of dates 🙂 We saw the movie Justice League. I usually quite like superhero movies, but this one was disappointing in my opinion. We also received tickets for a stand-up comedy show at our local theater unexpectedly, from someone who was unable to make it that evening.  And for our anniversary, we went to have all-you-can-eat sushi! I’d been looking forward to it for months, because I LOVE sushi 🙂

I spent a lot of time sewing since I had to finish and ship several orders from my Etsy shop. So unfortunately I didn’t have time for garment sewing, but I did listen to a couple of Love to Sew podcasts. Their podcast is very well done and it’s so interesting to hear the stories of different indie pattern designers! A new episode is available every Tuesday.

See you next week!

 

A week in doodles 48/17

Hi everyone!

In November I started with a monthly doodle/lettering memories page. Two weeks in I decided to make it a weekly page in a new notebook, so I have a little more room 🙂

Highlights last week were visiting my friends and their newborn, finally hemming and wearing my first me-made camisole, and my chocolate galore Milka advent calendar! Of course I did finish the monthly pages I started, here they are:

Last month we watched the second season of Stranger Things, absolutely love it but WHYYY did they only make nine episodes!! It was way too short 😦

I spent a lot of time sewing and also got a bunch of new patterns to make some clothes for myself. I’ll share my first camisole on the blog soon 🙂

And I surprised myself by actually finishing a game! I received Uncharted 4 for my birthday in October, and as I was playing it, there were several references to the previous games. I’ve owned Uncharted 1, 2 and 3 for years and I was convinced I had played all of them. After a glance through my trophy list, it turns out I only finished Uncharted 3. So I had to go back to the first game and finish it! 🙂

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to check out my bullet journal account on IG:Dayzeesbujo 🙂

 

 

A week in doodles 47/17

Before I started my bullet journal, I kept journals off and on over the years. I used notebooks and planners for journaling, photo’s, doodles and mementos. Nowadays my bullet journal pages are quite minimalistic and to the point. I love looking at people’s illustrated journals though, and realised that I miss that aspect of keeping a notebook. But I don’t want my to-do’s and important information to get lost in between doodles and decorations. So I got a new notebook for some sketch journaling and lettering 🙂 Here’s the first page!

Here’s my latest weekly set-up in my bullet journal. I love having a clear overview and using a little bit of colour 🙂

How do you use your journal? Do you prefer a clean look or do you decorate your pages?

Lyriclettering: the Beach Boys

Hi all!

If you’re into bullet journaling like me, I’m sure you’ve seen lots of posts on Instagram and Pinterest featuring beautiful hand lettering! I’ve been wanting to give it a try as well, but I’m not really the type of person to write down quotes from books and movies. However, I do love music and often hear phrases in the lyrics that stick with me!

Last week I was invited to the theater to see a tribute to the Beach Boys’ album Pet Sounds. It was performed by various artists, most of them giving their own twist to the songs. Back home I got on Spotify and listened to the original songs. I do know them all, I just never heard the entire album in one go!

For this page I chose to letter the phrase that stood out to me most. It’s from the song “I know there’s an answer” by the Beach Boys, 1966.

What are you listening to this week?
