Hello friends! With days getting shorter and gloomier, my studio feels only warmer and cozier😊 With the dim lights on and candle lightened up, I've been enjoying slow days of this in-between season, crafting a new sketchbook to draw my holiday illustrations in, cooking some yummy treats, packing your lovely orders and of course drawing some cozy-cozy illustrations that help me to feel more connected with this transporting time. Join me for a peaceful day in my home at studio and let me share with you these moments of quiet contentment❤️ I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do!
