Bullet journal: May

Hello friends. After two months hiatus, I have so much catching up to do both in crafting and journaling. While i'm yet to take my crocheting hooks and yarn, i did manage to journal a few pages in my bullet journal this month.

Here's a little peek into my May journal pages.

I love adding quotes and hope this journal will help me in improving my calligraphy skills.

I also love drawing in my journaling pages..

I'm really enjoying the process of journaling and like the fact that this single note serves as multipurpose use. Have a creative day!

Flower art

"I just want to make beautiful things even if nobody cares"

I can relate myself to this quote often. If creating something makes you happy, that's what really matters. You shouldn't be concerned about what others might think. Art isn't to impress others, rather it should make you feel contend and joyful.

We had some rose flowers to decorate our home during new year and i feel so bad when it's time to throw them away. So before that i made a quick little sketch of a girl and arranged the petals as a dress.

I pressed some rose petals in books and hope to make some crafts using those dried flowers in future.

I'm ending with a happy note as i found out that my baymax pattern was featured in Top crochet patterns Thanks for all the love. Have a fabulous week everyone:)

Little projects..

Hello friends! remember the camera coin purse that i made few years back. well, it was a hit among my family and they also requested for more,, So this time i made a classic Instagram coin purse and another one in red color. which one do you like??

I also sketched a little while this little bird was keeping me company.

The pattern for this little birdie will be available soon in my blog, So keep watching for this space if you like to make one,

Valentine hearts

Just a quick post to wish you all a very happy valentine's day ♥

Made this little amigurumi heart using free pattern from Planetjune

Enjoy this beautiful day with your loved ones. Hugs:)

Merci!

Hello friends!! I was so happy to see the Baymax amigurumi pattern  that i posted last month got some attention and many posted their lovely Baymax photos made using this pattern in Ravelry, facebook page and instagram. Thank you all :)

 I haven't been much productive lately. All i did was to watch anime shows and read books. Well, at least they were entertaining. When i'm in no mood for anything, i'll take my sketchbook and draw whatever comes to my mind.

   

Believe in magic...!!

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.” 
                                                                                                                                                                                                    ― Roald Dahl

  Amidst our hectic life, we often fail to notice the little yet wonderful things that happens around us. Even the simplest of things like admiring the flowers while walking or seeing a child laughing, making something for our loved ones gives us immense pleasure and will brighten our day. Explore and appreciate those little things and our lives will be joyful always.

This is one of my favorite quote and hence decided to make a page of it in my art journal...

Sketching time..!!

Hello friends, how was your weekend? I had a fun time celebrating my friend's birthday, visiting malls and dining out.. i'm also happy over the fact that Daiso has opened a new branch in Dalma mall which is nearby my place. Now i don't have to travel to interior of the city to get my craft supplies:)

Lately, i've been sketching a lot.. It's both fun and relaxing. I tried sketching a girl using Debbyarts tutorial

More clay charms...

Time flies by so fast and there's only two weeks left before i travel to India for vacation. My brother's wedding is on December and i'm so excited that i'd get to see my family and relations. I'm spending most of the weekends buying gifts for them and still there's some more shopping to do. Have to whip up some phone pouches and felt key chains for my cousins too before that.

Here's what I've been making this week..

The pikachu and bunny charms are made using Fimo Airdry clay but polymer clay would be more suitable for this. The tutorial can be found here and here.

Colored the doodle in my sketchbook and here's how it turned out..

Wishing you lots of beautiful moments with your loved ones.. have a great week ahead :)

Origami Wall art..

Almost half of November has passed and realized i haven't posted anything on my blog yet. Even though i wish to be consistent in blogging, i find myself slacking off every now and then. I really wanted to make at least 3 posts every month and hope i could find time to do that..

I had some origami papers and was wondering what to do with it.. While looking for inspiration, I found this colorful Origami wall art from How about orange. It's such an easy and lovely project and here's my take on it...

I had only limited colors hence the small size.. i planned on filling up my empty walls with some painting and quilling...

And sketching at times for relaxation..

Hope you all are having a wonderful day.. have a fun filled weekend! cheers :)

Pumpkin season!

Seems like fall has started in Abu Dhabi!!!. The temperature is finally cooling down little by little. Morning and evenings are pleasant with slight breeze while the heat is bearable at day time. The fine weather makes it perfect to visit park and beaches in the evening...

I also find myself going out more often than before and noticed all the malls geared up to welcome fall and the summer clothing and accessories are replaced by winter collections, hoodies and sweater (even though it's not that cold).

The fall is never complete without pumpkins, right?? so i made some cutesy small pumpkin charms..

Made these charms using Fimo airdry clay.. The clay was good to work with but the only problem is that i couldn't mix colors to them.. i had to paint the clay after it got dried off..

Also painted some flowers in my sketchbook...

Enjoy the fine weather while it lasts.. Wishing you all a fantastic day! cheers :)

A look into my sketchbook!

Hello lovelies! hope you are all doing good... It's so hot here in Abu Dhabi especially this month.. There's not a slight breeze even during night times. I find myself spending more of my time indoors drawing while watching old episodes of Grey's Anatomy. Even though i love staying home than going out, i wish the weather changes soon..

Here's one of the page in my sketchbook that i recently finished..

For those who can't figure out what it is... it's my version of galaxy. Hope it looks like one.

We had a sandstorm two days back and the whole place was covered in sand and dust for about an hour. I had a hard time closing my window from the heavy wind..

Sharing wonderful quote by Mark Twain before i leave....

Have a fantastic day everyone :) 

Quilled Card..

Football fever is catching up with people everywhere now that the world cup is in full flow. I remember during school days, me and my brother used to keep alarm and wake up at late night to watch the world cup matches. It was so much fun to watch along with my brother and we often end up betting on the opposite teams :)

Made this quilled card months ago and like the way it turned out.. my quilling kit has been long neglected after coming here and hoping to do some quilling soon..

also did some sketching...

Wanna share this lovely quote before leaving...

Have a lovely week everyone!

A peek into last week..

Hi friends.. how was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. Me and my hubby went to mall and watched the latest x-men film Days of our future past. My hubby was so engrossed into the movie while i was busy drooling over Hugh Jackman and James McAvoy :)

Drawing and sketching are my favorite hobby from childhood.. but lately, i didn't get enough time to indulge in it. In order to rectify it, i decided to start an art journal/sketch book. Let's see how far i progress in this..

I also started working on my Sunburst Granny squares which i didn't give much attention to for a long time now.

My current song addiction is One Republic's new song 'Love runs out' . It's a pretty upbeat song that i find myself dancing to the tune many times.



So, what you guys did this weekend? any new projects in mind? Do share your thoughts.. have a great week ahead!
