Desserts are just happiness on a plate (or in a glass, cup or whatever.) Just looking at desserts makes me happy (eating them even more!) So, happy Dessert Day everyone!

My 2019 calendar is now available on Etsy. I ship worldwide from the Netherlands. If you’re thinking of buying this as a Christmas present, please make sure you order on time because international shipping to countries outside of Europe can take 3-5 weeks during the holiday season.

I hope everyone is enjoying fall. Here I illustrated some of my favourite things about autumn, including pumpkin soup, cozy nights inside watching Netflix or playing board games, cute knitted accessories and sweater weather.
What do you love about autumn? Do you agree that it’s the coziest season?
If you like this drawing, you might also like my autumn/fall-themed postcards that are available on Etsy here, here and here.

As promised a while ago, here’s a small update on what I’m doing to live a more low-waste and minimal life. This past year I’ve slowly been using up all the products I already own and when I finish a product I first ask myself: do I really need it? If I feel I do, I try to look for a natural DIY recipe online. If that’s not available I try to buy a plastic free version of the product that I’m replacing. It’s not perfect and not always possible, but it feels good to try. I think if everyone tries a little, together we can achieve a lot. Hopefully another update soon!

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.

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.

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.
