Happy Autumn! Hello Cozy Season!

Things I love About Fall, In Drawings.

This is an illustration of things I look forward to this fall: long walks with hot drinks after, baking at home, everything pumpkin, candles, game nights, good books and shows, and putting on my knitted accessories and warm socks again.⁠ What’s on your list this fall?🌰🍵 ⁠

⁠PS. My autumn-themed postcards are back in my Etsy shop, this card set for example. Thank you so much for supporting my work! 🙏🛒⁠

My Version of Empties, Illustrated Of Course!

My Illustrated Empties. Things I Loved Enough To Use Up.

I’ve been seeing a lot of “empties” posts lately—where people share their used-up products and thoughts on them. It usually involves skincare products and makeup, and I really enjoy seeing them. So, here is my own version of an “empties” round-up—illustrated, of course. These are a few products I liked enough to finish.

P.S. I made this with Procreate to save time, which is new for me. Usually, I do everything analog: pen, ink, pencil, paint, etc. I hope that by practicing my digital drawing skills, I’ll have time to create more new work and update here more frequently. Let’s see how that works out 🙃.

For now, I hope you enjoy seeing my empties (do let me know!). See you soon! 💛⁠

Happy Little Things!😍

These Are Some Of The Small Things That Are Making Me Happy At The Moment.

I´ve illustrated some of my current favorite little things, that I´m wearing or using all the time. Some are new and some are old favorites.

In case you’re wondering: the earrings are from a local shop, the tiny tagine is from Sostrene Grene, the led candle from Xenos, watch from Casio, handbag and mittens are vintage finds, wool socks from a local market, plate and mug from IKEA, tote bag was a gift and the sandals are Birkenstock.

Wishing everyone a happy December, with lots of things, people and experiences that make you feel happy! ❤️

Cozy November Favorites for a Minimalist Wardrobe, Illustrated.

My Favorite Things To Wear And Use This November, So Far.

This has basically been my November uniform. It´s cold outside but these are the items that are keeping me warm and cozy. A lot of long time favorites on here because I’m still trying to be more of a minimalist. My Pizza For President tote bag is an old favorite that made it back to my regulars recently. The sweater (from & Other Stories) and socks (from my local week-market) are new and I’ve been wearing them all the time. I’m also using Weleda Skin Food every day to protect my skin from the harsh cold.

So far, I’m really enjoying autumn. I love the pretty autumn colors when I go on hikes and I enjoy cozying up inside or meeting friends for drinks. Hope you are enjoying fall as well!

February Recap, in Drawings.

Bye Bye February, An Illustrated Recap.

In February I spend more time indoors than usual. The weather was bad and there´s only so much hiking in the rain (and storm) that I can enjoy. So, this meant a lot of cozy time indoors, which I also enjoyed. Netflix nights, drinks and food with friends and quite a lot of cooking and baking, including pizza from scratch for the first time.😋🍕🍷⁠ Now, let spring begin please!🤞

February Mood, In Drawings.

Illustrated February Mood.

This illustration sums up my February 2024 mood. I´m longing for spring and for picnic season to start. We’ve had a little bit of sunshine and my plants are showing signs of new leaves, so that makes me happy! I also just make the most of winter by cozying up inside and going for winter walks. I hope you’re also having a good month so far. See you soon!

January Recap, in Drawings.

Bye Bye January, An Illustrated Recap.

On the last day of January, it´s time to look back. My plan for this year is to end every month with an illustrated recap. (So far, so good😉)

January was very wet and cold. I loved the snowy days, I didn’t love getting the flu. I still went hiking every week but also spend more time inside. These were some of my favorite and/or most used things. As you can see most of them are related to staying warm & cozy.

Cute & Cozy Winter Mood, Illustrated.

Hello! I hope you’re having a good year so far. Here in The Netherlands it’s very cold with lots of snow at the moment, which I love very much. I love cosying up under my wool blanket, light candles, have a glass of red wine and enjoy the winter evenings with a good book or something nice to stream. This drawing sums up the cozy winter vibe I love.

This year, I plan to make more time for new illustrations, but I’m just recovering from the flu so already I’m behind on my schedule. But I will try to add more new stuff and post more regularly on here as well!
