Summertime, holiday... ...and the very best thing is in Budapest this time to drink a fröccs with friends in a ruin bar . Today I woke up very early and my mind was full of coluurs and page ideas so I only made a frappé and started to make drafts for July. I used some motives from the pinterest too:  I tryed for colouring pens and pencils too. I rejected the pencils and art deco for July -  I needed more powerful colours and more fun... I was looking for the proper layout...  ...and finally the first week: Changes for the next week: I will reduce the number of trackers implemented in the daily layout I need more free place for the single days I will rotate the fonts in dots vertically ... and, last but not least, listen to Caro Emerald to be inspired for the summer

May wasn't a successful bujo-month. When I was looking for new theme for the month May I explored "sachico" on Pinterest. Sachico is a Japanese quilting art. I was - actually I am- found of it. Love at the first sight: So I decided to translate quilting to graphic and create sachico items for my BUJO. But finally I wasn't satisfied. It looked just like a lot of dots and lines. Well, basically that would be graphic itself - dots and lines used in a unique way. But in my sachico-translation I am missing the texture of yarn and fabric, I am missing the soul.

April was my very first month in the BUJO world. After looking for one billion inspiration site I decided to design my first month in art-deco. Near to our flat there are a lot of old buildings and anyway that age with swing and Poirot is maybe my favourite one. I made photos everywhere where I saw an interesting piece of buildings - a window, a balcony, a balustrade... Than I started to convert them to BUJO items. Sometimes more sometimes less successfully...   I made a site for remember to ring up my old friends: That's a poem from the Hungarian poet Arpad Toth from the 1920's: about dawn in the city centre- where I am living. I draw buildings which I see every day from my window or on the way going to work every day. That was a short memory on the day when we started to learn Lindy-Hop:

My favourite one - I made it today for my daughter. We found that nice fabric just Friday. There was no special pattern needed. I cut two times 75 X 75 cm for the dotted upper part and 18 X 75 cm for the bottom part. For the ribbon I cut 15 X 150 cm from the blue fabric. 1. Upper part - pattern for the arm 2. Bottom part 3. Ribbon 4. Do ironing again - and go for a walk to celebrate your new dress!
