process: designing notebooks!

hiiiiii!! i've spent the morning trying to work out some notebook designs — i can't decide if i want to do a repeating pattern type thing (i'm really drawn towards doing something "garden toile" -esque, which is the second image, but making it a bit more my style and a little less frilly and romantic), a little illustrated scene (like the fika one above), or just making a printed version of my handpainted rainbow "oh no" design. how do y'all feel about having little nameplates for your note...

is it okay if our tea time is a podcast this month?

hello my loves! i was wondering if it was okay if our december tea time was in audio format this month? i want to be able to get it up early on december 31st for y'all, and videos take a good while to export and upload, where audio files are a bit more instant! i would still have the question time marks in the description of the audio post, and it should go directly into the rss feed you have for the $10 podcast. 

please let me know if this is alright !!

i left my ipad at the airport ;—;

hey peeps! i was looking for my ipad to post some sketchbook pics from my $5 tier folks, but according to Find my Ipad, it turns out that i was a big old dummy and forgot it while going through security at the airport in Houston. i've already had a good cry about it, and sent in my lost and found form, and i have high hopes that TSA has held onto it and it will hopefully be in my hands somewhat soon. i am a mess!! what an unfortunate way to end the year rip 

i'm trying not to get c...

process: my first diary comic!

hi y'all!! so i'm a part of a collaborative zine project here in seattle with a handful of other local creatives. the theme of the zine was "do you want to know?" in regards to "secrecy, willful ignorance, and social undercurrents." each artist was free to interpret it however we wished, and i decided on hiding from self-truths, or the fear of confronting said truths. i've always used the metaphor of doors to describe different states of mental health, so i knew i wa...

november printable!!!

hi friends! i realize this is rather last minute, but i hope you enjoy this month's printable! it's very winter oriented, cause december is literally around the corner, and i'm so happy with how cozy it is. connor and i put our little tomten (swedish christmas gnomes) out on the mantel, along with some little stockings that connor bought today at target (to my pleasant surprise!! I almost started weeping when i walked through the door and saw three stockings hanging up) 

i love you...

WOOOOOO i feel like i've been editing this video for the past like four days??? it took me ages to figure out how to go about editing it and the solution was so simple i feel like a big dummy. my brain couldn't wrap around editing together footage that i would then do a voiceover for, but it finally clicked yesterday so i was able to get this bad boy done today. i'm really happy with it!! i know my last video was also tutorial-like, but i hope you guys enjoy this one as well.

helllooo friends i know on my most recent post, i said that the update was gonna be this coming sunday 11/10, even with my stickers getting in later, but!! my stickers won't be in until 11/15, and that feels too far away from the previous sunday update to be reasonable. so!! i'll be updating my shop at 12pm PST saturday, november 16th! i'll have a delivery date for the sophie pins as well, and this way i can start packing orders soon as they come in, and it'll leave a two wee...
