Happy first day of autumn! (On the northern hemisphere). I love autumn! It’s the cosiest season (in my opinion). I love staying inside when it’s raining outside, and cosying up under a warm blanket, with hot tea and snacks within reach and a book to read or movie to watch. What are your favourite things about autumn?
Today is World Gratitude day, a perfect day to say “Thank you” to everyone who follows me here, comments, likes and shares and supports my work in any way. I truly appreciate it! I LOVE making illustrations and I’m thankful that I’m able to spend so much time doing what I love to do. So, thank you!!
I hope everyone is enjoying the last days of summer 2018 as much as I am! I did have time to make a quick “what I wore” drawing. These are my favourites at the moment.
A little more summer. After working so hard on finishing my calendar, I’m taking some time off this week to enjoy the last sunny days of 2018. This is the August page from my new calendar. I’m SO happy with all your (pre)orders! Available on Etsy.
I’m happy to say that my 2019 wall calendar is finally finished! It was a lot of work, but I’m happy with how they turned out. I hope you are too. If so, you can pre-order one now on Etsy. I will start shipping them a little bit later this month. I ship worldwide and offer gift wrapping.
Goodbye summer of 2018! You were very hot (and very sweaty). And even though I’m still hoping for a little bit more of you, I’m also ready to embrace autumn (the cosiest season!).
Happy National Read A Book Day! I love to read. At the moment I’m reading To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf and No Impact Man by Colin Beavan. My favourite places to read are on my balcony or in bed. What are you reading and what are your favourite reading places?
These “booklover” postcards are available in my Etsy shop.
Hello September! New month, new calendar page.
As an illustrator September means getting ready for the Holiday season. I’m working hard to finish my Christmas collection and my 2019 calendar. I hope to have both available on Etsy, and in selected shops, somewhere this month.
I haven’t been posting many new illustrations because I’m working hard on finishing my 2019 calendar (and enjoying the summer weather!). It will be available in my Etsy shop in September.
This drawing shows one of my favorite, simple summer fashion looks. I love high waisted A-line skirts, a high-neck crop top, a cute straw bag and comfy sandals. Then, add some vintage, bohemian style accessories and a glass of Sangria and I’m happy as can be.

I’m fighting the Monday blues today. It’s raining, I have a fever and just a bad mood. So, I’m trying to cheer myself up with lots of tea, chocolate and (a little bit of) rosé wine.
