Had a lot of fun photographing my Christmas collection at the weekend... 6 weeks til the big day you guys! I felt so inspired watching @hollyboothstudio in her live video with @luckydipclub in the @indie_roller group last week and it really helped give me the drive to properly style the photos. Obviously I made a right mess in my lounge, put it all away and realised I’d not photographed the planners I’d designed too 🙈 so that’ll be this weekends task then 😂 #blog
And just like that, the weekend is over already 😭 I’ve spent the day photographing all my Christmas cards, so it’s been productive (you can see a sneak peek in my stories!) Here’s a piece I lettered a while ago, and I feel like I’m really starting to get a hang of it. It’s easy to say you don’t pay attention to the numbers, but a lot harder to action! I’ve been staying true to myself and posting what I love instead, and worrying less about likes and approval. It’s made me feel more relaxed about what I post and, though I’m a long way off totally disconnecting from likes, I’m so grateful for this community I’ve built and I’m focusing on that more than anything! 💕 #blog
✨I need some advice! I’m struggling to switch off at the moment and consequently am struggling to sleep! Any tips?! I’m trying to look at my phone less and have been reading/doing sudoku before bed, but as soon as my head hits the pillow my brain is awake again thinking about literally everything 🙈 My 6am alarm can’t change so I’m exhausted 😴💤 I’m currently thinking a sleepy time tea and practicing some more mindfulness could help 🧘🏼‍♀️☕️ #blog
Art journaling is one of the things I can do without having to think too much. Whereas a lot of the illustrations I create require a bit of prep work and refinement, art journaling is relaxing and there’s no pressure. I used to create pages a lot more during uni - it was like a giant brain dump and a place for experiments. I have a huge box of collage stuff (tickets and cards, printed pieces of art, postcards and little written notes) to be journaled one day, though sadly it gets pushed aside a lot of the time! I’ve posted 10 journaling prompts on the blog if you need a starting point for your own, but I love looking through mine. Do you journal, or have you always wanted to? 📒🖌 #blog
A couple of years back, we bought Loki bear some bat wings. Needless to say, he was NOT a fan, and kept trying to do a backwards crawl to get those darn things off! Now I just have to imagine how cute he’d look in them - he’d much rather just give us evils and be the scary witches cat than a cute bat cat! We don’t celebrate Halloween but I’ve loved seeing everyone’s costumes and all their spooky drawings today! #blog
I’ve got one more day at work and then four days off - my gosh are they needed! I’ve been feeling all over the place the past few weeks and incredibly stressed for lots of different reasons, and I am exhausted! I’m off to London on Tuesday and then a few days at home to chill out, sleep and prep for the Christmas products in the shop... how is it almost November?!
This colour combination makes me happy - beautiful orange tones on a turquoise background 😍 While I was having my social media break in the Summer, I started a project in my sketchbook, just for me. I wanted to get back into creating again, so I started doing these little paintings. I pick a random image from my Pinterest homepage, and paint it - simple as that. #pinnedpaintingpractice, I’m calling it. I’ve not been doing it as much lately but I miss it! So I thought I’d start again, and share the idea with you. I definitely recommend it and there’s no rules, just create and paint what stands out to you ✨ #blog
