My boy added his minimalist paintings to my atelier-slash-work corner today 🖌️ Eyes, nose and mouth that they've been practicing in the nursery. Isn't it sweet? I'm really tempted to have him make more and turn the results into vectorized repeat patterns for fabric 🤔😆💜

This year was a year of growth, marked by a few tasks that transformed my creative skills. One of them was joining Immersion course by @bonniechristine, and learning how to make repeat pattern designs and collections for commissions and licensing. Bonnie is not only beautiful and inspiring, but she supports others in achieving their artistic dreams. And not just through the course, but even after. My first pattern collection was inspired by Japan, and this is one of the designs - calligraphy lines. See it come alive on a product mockup made me realize that I too may have something to contribute to the world of design.

Ever since I've tried bath salts, I keep going back to them. Once or twice a month while the little one's away, I set time for a 'spa moment' with a movie or creative online course ☕ Because relaxing that tense body counts. Sitting still and calming your mind and thoughts counts. Seems to me that bath salts sooth, purify and clense everything inside out, so the regeneration can begin. Try it! And don't forget to add the luxurious coconut oil or dried milk if you're not allergic. The fragrance, I mean...! 😍🙏🏼

So much to look at! These diamonds in the vase. All things floral, when it comes to painting references and inspiration. 🌿

Sunday morning on the kitchen shelve ☕ It's important to remember doing something for yourself. Especially when you're a busy mum, making sure others are taken care of. Because tending to your own needs matters too, I'm learning that.
My self-nurturing treat is a calm morning coffee, sitting down and being intentionally aware of all good I have in life. And as part of this, I made it a habit to collect mugs 😍 One or two pounds mugs from random stores we shop in. And then these mugs become a part of my calm morning moment. 🌿
