We’ve finally had a few lovely sunny days here! It was almost too hot to draw but I still managed to finished another calender page.

Dutch Summer
The Dutch summer so far: rain, rain and more rain. Excellent summer weather to stay inside, read, drink tea and have an occasional sunny cocktail.
May, so far.
Finally a few sunny days and even the first pick nicks of 2016! Also very happy with my new Marc Johns book.
Wearing: t-shirt, Alternative Apparel – bracelet, A la – small purse, Solmode – cap & jeans, H&M – sandals, Birkenstock – straw bag, vintage.
Book: The Daily Artist by Marc Johns.
Spring favorites, so far.
Yes! The sunny part of spring has finally started in my city and I’ll be off to the park soon. But these have been my spring favorites for the more wintry part of the Dutch spring.
Wearing: boyfriend blazer, Newyorker – dress and tights, H&M – bracelet, Ala – bag, vintage – berry liptint, Maybelline – nail polish, Catrice – shoes, Carmens.
Dreaming of Summer
I’m longing for summer and this is what I want to be wearing to a lovely picnic in the park. But, no such luck with the Dutch spring. It’s more wool sweaters, extra socks and staying inside to escape the rain, wind and even snow! Luckily, I can always draw a sunny scene!
Sneak peek!
One of the things I’m working on at the moment is a birthday calender. Here’s a little sneak peek at what will be the illustration for April.
March, so far: cold & wet.
March has been very cold and very wet so far, but I’m trying to enjoy it anyway. Tea and chocolate (home made brownies, yummie!) always help, and a little alcohol also doesn’t hurt 😉
Wearing: cardigan, vintage – top, Newyorker -nailpolish, Catrise – denim dress, H&M – shoes, Carmens Padova, eyeliner, Hema.
February favorites
Hi everyone! I’ve been very busy with a few new projects, so I haven’t posted in a while. But here is a look at what have been my February favorites. More to come soon!
Wearing: jacket, Mango – mittens, bra and tights, H&M – scarf, Vero Moda -dress, Clockhouse – shoes, vintage – bracelet, Ala – little purse, ZestyNotion (on Etsy)
Back to Winter.
After a sunny holiday, a week of FREEZING cold, now it’s finally a reasonable temperature again. This means I can wear normal winter clothes again instead of millions of layers! It’s also perfect weather to hide under a blanket with a good book. I’m reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert at the moment, very inspiring!
Wearing: “lucky” bracelet, Anna+Nina – jacket, Mango – cap and mittens, H&M – jeans, Zara – Gel eyeliner, Bobbi Brown – top, vintage
