Another fabric journal is very similar, but filled with a lined paper, great for writing stories and keeping a diary.
It has 320 pages counted both sides.
The large leather journal in a rosewood color is perfect as a sketchbook, because it's filled with blank white paper 150 gsm. It has approx. 190 pages counted both sides.
Another leather journal in a beautiful burgundy red color, is filled with a lined paper.
Soon all these journals will be listed in our shop ArtStitch.etsy.com.

my sunday in pics
It is 3rd week I started with a drawing. I've never draw after secondary school. Now about 18 years later I enjoy the drawing so much :) My friend, who is artist, said me: "If you want to learn drawing, just take a pencil and draw everything you see around you. You must draw everyday!"
So I will post my pictures from time to time in my blog. Here are the strawberries from our garden:
These berries are perfect as is or with a cream. Also we made a strawberry jam:
Here is my lovely cat, he is so lazy and sleepy:
Happy sunday!

Have a great weekend!

Great Finds: Let's a picnic!
Having a picnic during the summer months can be entertaining and a blast for the entire family. It helps the family to get together and eat some delicious food and play fun games. It doesn't take more than a picnic basket, a few food items and a good mood! Happy Sunday!

my new pencils!
I bought watercolour pencils, they are so great! The pencils have beautiful and bright colors, make soft lines and perfectly paint with water. I'm so excited! I painted this blooming jasmine with a glass of water:
Oh, I know that jasmine blooms are white, not yellow. Unfortunately I used too much of the yellow pencil. My only excuse that I'm not an artist, just love to draw pictures sometimes :)
Happy weekend!

Inspiration: how to keep journals
What do you know about the journals? I'm sure that anyone has at least one journal, for example it is a planner or scheduler for everyday use, isn't it? I know some people who keep the diaries. Also sketchbooks, artbooks and scrapbooks are really great way to record life's experiences, feelings, emotional reactions or one's own inner voice.
I did a little list of some journals, that give me a lot of inspiration and share them here. All pictures are clickable and link to the source. Start with the planners, look at this pretty weekly planner:
.. or monthly planner:
The travel journal:
.. one travel journal more:
The visual journal of emotions and feelings:
Keeping To-Do list in a journal:
The diary with scrapbook elements:
Just the page from a diary:
The scrapbook for the photos:
The family budget journal:
If you think that you can't draw, that is false! Everyone can draw! Just take the pencil and paper and start drawing all the things you see around you:
The Elvie Studio blog is very helpful to starting with drawing and feeling you are an artist:
View this funny picture and tutorial by Elvie Studio:
The artist's journal for drawing with watercolours:
Who hasn't any journal, they are drawing in the books:
The scripture journal:
The doodling journal:
Doodling with colors:
Also it is possible to glue in some pockets, envelopes, stickers, labels..
..and make some journal arts:
You can do with a journal everything your heart desires: to glue on your favorite pictures and photos, draw, paint, doodle, tweet, write all important and unimportant things, to travel and make sketches, collect your favorite recipes and even sketching the ingridients or just keep a journal in complete secrecy under your pillow :)
I have 3 journals: family budget journal, sold and custom orders journal and inspiration journal. Some days ago I started with 4th journal and try to draw with my new watercolour pencils. My mom keeps 2 journals: a garden journal and our house repairs journal. One day I will share some pages of our journals.
Do you have any journals too?
