Month: January 2021

January Favourites, In Drawings.

My January Favourites, Illustrated Recap.

As you might be able to tell from this illustration, despite the lockdown and an evening clock here in the Netherlands, my January has been pretty OK and much better than my December.

Why? Let’s see:⁠
– Getting my Vitamin D with regular muddy hikes in good company⁠
– New music and an album coming soon from Ben Howard⁠
-‘Conan O’brien needs a friend’ makes me laugh so much every week.⁠
– I did 2 (very) cold water dives in the river and felt SO good afterwards⁠
– A lovely sunny trip to the island of Brrrrr with Andrei⁠
– A lot of chilling at home, cooking, reading, dancing, Netflix, etc with zero FOMO⁠

How was your start of 2021? ⁠💚

A Hat For Bernie, In Drawings.

Bernie Sanders Mittens, In Drawings.

This time no What I Wore drawing, but What Bernie Wore!

I loved Bernie’s cozy and comfy style yesterday (I have a thing for cute mittens!) and it’s so funny that this outfit is going viral! I actually dress like this most days during winter.. .hmmm 🤔
I did add a hat because I felt it was missing from his look. What did you think of the inauguration yesterday?⁠💙💜

Hand Drawn Winter Happiness!

Yes, we finally had some snow! The city looked so pretty covered in snow, even if it was only for a few hours 😊 I hope you’re enjoying your weekend and staying warm, safe and cozy.💚 This drawing fits to my happy winter mood of the moment. I also have it available on a postcard to spread the feel-good vibes. You can also follow me on Instagram for more regular updates.

Let’s Cuddle Up, Illustrated.

National Cuddle Up Day, In Drawings

It’s National Cuddle Up Day today and I’ve updated one of my Best Nine illustrations of 2020 with this day in mind.
The Dutch weather is perfect for cuddling up under a blanket at the moment, it’s so cold! So, put on something warm & comfy (2020 has been the year I embraced sweatpants!) and cuddle up. If you don’t have anyone to cuddle with, remember that plant love is also real love. I REALLY love my plants, so who’s to say that my plants don’t also really love me?? I choose to believe they do, haha. Oh, and also: real cuddles will be making a comeback soon!⁠ Have a nice day!⁠

If this drawing is giving you all sorts of happy and cozy feelings, I have a very similar illustration available on a postcard on Etsy.

Celebrate Little Things, In Drawings.

Celebrate Whatever You Can!

The Holidays are over but there’s no reason to stop celebrating small things. It’s been a tough year and we should be kind to ourselves. You survived 2020: well done! Put on pants today? That’s awesome! Checked in on a friend? You deserve extra karma points for that! Feel like you didn’t do anything worth celebrating today? Remember you are still awesome and it’s okay and normal to feel bad sometimes!⁠ 💚 Hopefully this drawing can serve as a little positive reminder. It was one of my best nine for 2020 on Instagram, and I updated it a little bit for 2021.⁠

Hello January!

Happy New Year!

A mix of cozy winter items and a positive outlook.⁠ The calendar is sold out (thank you!🙏🏻) but I have lots of other paper-goodies available in my Etsy shop.🛒 Take a look if you like what you see, and want to support a small business. Dutch shops are sadly still closed so I could really use it. Take care⁠💚

Hello New Year, Hello New Goals!

My Plans For A Happy New Year.

Happy New Year! Wishing everyone an amazing 2021. Let’s do everything we couldn’t do last year and appreciate it even more.⁠ I love January so much more than I love December (I don’t love December at all actually) The days are getting longer again, our lockdown is (hopefully) almost over, and it feels like a fresh start. ⁠This is my “plan” for 2021. What do you think?⁠

Update: Per request I turned this on into a postcard, to pin to your wall as positive inspiration or to send to someone who might also like or need it.
