My new art space makes room for more creating!

How exciting, right?! I am very happy to now have an entire surface upon which to create. For years this has been my art table which is the same one I used in art school years ago! Somehow, I managed to paint using this small bit of space on my art table. …

A little sketch inspiration from Liz Steel

A little sketch inspiration from Liz Steel

Wednesday: I received an email notice about a new Liz Steel You Tube video. In this video Liz takes you through her one-hundredth completed sketchbook. Yes! 100! Now that is sketch inspiration! I was so inspired by Liz sketching every day that I ended up watching more of her videos and reading a number of her blog …

Happy Caturday!! Working on another new piece for Happy Caturday!! Working on another new piece for the store update and, of course, it’s a black kitty! ⁣

And just look at this desk mess! What do you love always having on your desk? For me, it’s art supplies. Clearly! ⁣
⁣
I started my Kanban board in my bujo yesterday and I’m so on top of things now! I know it’s only Day 1 with this new ‘to-do’ system but I’m being positive and it’s been very motivating for me. ⁣
⁣
Also on the Kanban schedule is to finish editing my 2021 bullet journal by tomorrow. My Kanban setup will be a part of the video. You can also search YouTube for some great videos but I’ll have links too.  I also used the Eisenhower Chart in combo with it which made the task heirarchy much clearer for me.  Maybe I’ll do a video on this  later if you like…it’s been a mental lifesaver already! ⁣
⁣
I hope your weekend is bringing you at least a little bit of rest and positivity. And some smiles. That’s what we all need right now. ⁣

Do you have a morning ritual? I had read one pass Do you have a morning ritual?

I had read one passage of this book a day and completed it on December 31st as it’s laid out to be read. I’ve decided to continue the cycle again. There is so much wisdom in here that compliments not only my yoga and meditation rituals but my life as ritual as well. 

I’ve also learned that finding time for this book every day is not another stressor to add to my ‘to-do’ list as it was the previous year when I didn’t finish it. I see I’ve grown since and have come to understand how finding space for a love of the little things makes for big changes both inside and out.

Do you keep a bullet journal? Any tips for how to Do you keep a bullet journal? Any tips for how to best keep referencing your future log and initial lists?

I’m working on finding better ways to utilize my bujo (and my time!) which means I’m still focused on the planning for 2021! But, I’m almost finished creating and filming for my next video. I’ll be taking about how I’m changing things up to best suit my brain and what handy tools I’ve adopted from other bujo-ists in order to  become better focused and more productive. 

Fingers crossed this one works. Time will tell. Or in this case, my bujo will tell. *wink*

How is your first week going? 🙀 I swear, ther How is your first week going? 

🙀 I swear, there are things I manage to do on time but this 2021 BuJo set up is not one of them. I had a health setback the past two weeks which seriously kicked me down. So I’m going slow as I wait for my body to heal. Hope to have this video up by the end of the week. I also have a Portrait 3 cutter vid to edit and a December vlog. Oi.

Anyone notice my BIG mistake? FGS, why? Goodbye, 2020 already!

Stickers!!!⁣ ⁣ For two days I read the manual, Stickers!!!⁣
⁣
For two days I read the manual,  watched more YT videos, and read a great blog before I started my cuts. I did some test cuts and ended up with a sticker sheet of perfection! ⁣
⁣
Each heart has a kiss cut around it so you can easily peel it away from the backing (second pic detail)! Idea from @rbillustration . 🖤 I’ll have a vlog up about my experience with links as soon as I get it edited. ⁣
⁣
I’m so excited and elated about this machine! These hearts will be freebies with orders and as well as little fancies on your mailers. Sooo many stickers to make!⁣ I’m a happy gal right now.

A welcoming sight this New Year’s morn. 💛 A welcoming sight this New Year’s morn. 💛
Because you know I would. 😉 May this beautiful c Because you know I would. 😉

May this beautiful cancer moon help you release whatever you need to in order to say goodbye, to help you forgive whomever you need to forgive to heal (including yourself), and to help you realize that you’ve done your best during these trying times and now is the season to rest, even just a little. And if you didn’t do enough, rest, recoup, and try again. 

💛🙏🌕

Happy full moon in cancer!⁣ It’s going to be a Happy full moon in cancer!⁣ It’s going to be a big ritual because…
⁣
This is a very special  phase for me as I am Cancer Rising aka Moonchild. ♋️💜 This past January was a full moon in cancer and now we’ve come full circle on rising signs that just happen to coincide with the calendar year. That’s pretty damn cool! Some serious first house mojo. ✨⁣
⁣
On the flipside: I am currently recording my December vlog and, while doing so, decided to cut my prints with rounded corners from now on.  Aren’t they so pretty?! ⁣
⁣
These will be available as soon as my shop reopens!  I am finally excited about a shop re-opening because I have a whole new way of thinking about my art that has turned my outlook on its head. What a blessing! 🙌 This is a very good thing (thank you, Deepak Chopra) and I will be sharing it in my next vlog! ⁣

Journal tabs anyone? 🖐⁣ ⁣ Excited here!!! I Journal tabs anyone? 🖐⁣
⁣
Excited here!!! I finally got a chance to use my Silhouette Portrait 3 that I got last week. I tested it out with some journal tabs and it was so easy once I knew my way around the setup and software. You can see it all in my next vlog coming soon! ⁣
⁣
I made these tabs to be the perfect size for my 2021 BuJo and they are so cute, right? I do believe I will be making black ones for my new 2021 wine coloured BuJo! 🍷🖤📕⁣
⁣
Next test will be stickers for my shop update. So happy to not hand cut any longer! Sticker heaven is right around the corner!⁣

Witches, anyone? Morgan le Fay hasn’t been in Witches, anyone? 

Morgan le Fay hasn’t been in the shop for a while so sadly, I had kind of forgotten a bit about her. I was going through my art print files as I work on some new prints and found her. She’s still one of my favourites. 

I’ve had a Joan of Arc drawn for years and have yet to paint it. It’s part of my plan for an historical witch series. So many plans! 

Hope you all had a Blessed Yule and Happy Solstice yesterday. Our Yule log will be completely eaten before bedtime tonight! See previous post for mouth-watering sensations!

Happy Yule and Solstice to you all!! ☀️🌓 I Happy Yule and Solstice to you all!!
☀️🌓
I don’t generally share food on my art account but I am so proud of how this gluten free vegan Yule log cake turned out I had to share. I actually rolled it! And it was so good. 
☀️
I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Solstice in whichever hemisphere you live! 
🌓
Have a safe and lovely holiday season. May you be happy and healthy and feel all the love.
