I drew this month’s heart-themed wallpaper not just because it’s almost Valentine’s Day (yay, another excuse to eat chocolate!), but also because it seems that the world could use a bit of extra TLC these days. Having these hearts on my screen is a gentle reminder that it doesn’t cost me anything to be kind,
“I know things have been very quiet around here lately” I feel like every post I’ve written over the past year seems to start with this sentence, so I thought it was high time I wrote an explanation as to where things are at, why I’ve been so silent and what that means for Make
Given I retired at 10pm and managed to miss both the kiddies’ and midnight fireworks, I think it’s safe to say this party girl is NOT me. But I used to love a good New Year’s Eve bash once upon a time (pre-Lauren). And I really hope to at least make it to the local
If there’s one thing I love about Christmas, it’s the warm, delicious fragrances that linger in the air as we bustle about preparing for the big day. Even though it’s the height of summer over here (I’m slurping down an Icy Pole as I type this), the smell of pine and mulled cider hit me
I know it’s been a loooong time since I made a freebie for you guys. It’s not that I don’t love you, I promise! I’ve just found that time has been getting away from me as we get closer to the silly season, and especially with a toddler in the house. In spite of this,
End. Of. The. Year. Is that crazy or what? Lauren just turned 18 months old, Christmas is around the corner, and once again I’m sitting here like a stunned mullet, blinking stupidly and wondering where the time went. While I don’t think I was ever going to be ready for my girl to grow out
Ooh what have we here? That’s right, a bonus desktop wallpaper! If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ll have seen me go from being stuck in a creative rut to finding the time and energy to draw pretty much every day (previously unheard of!). I have you to thank for that – your words
I often find it a struggle to come up with a design for November’s desktop background. This month feels a bit like limbo as I come down from a Halloween high and then have to wait patiently for December to arrive before I can fully get into festive-mode. Since there was no holiday to illustrate
It’s funny how our minds work. I posted last week about how I was in the biggest creative rut; I had too many ideas and not enough time, which felt so overwhelming that I just stopped making altogether. Then as soon as I shared that, it was like a weight had been lifted. The fog
You know those moments when you meet someone for the first time and before they’ve even said a word, it already feels like you’ve known them all your life? Well that was how I felt when I heard about Gift Boss. Receiving the brief for this project was like catching up with an old friend
Hello October! It’s the month of Halloween and while I find myself getting more and more into this holiday with each passing year, I still can’t bring myself to draw anything scary or gory to mark the celebrations. I guess orange and black will never be my thing. So instead, here’s something pink and shiny
Although things have gotten a bit quiet here lately, there’s been a lot action of behind-the-scenes as I work on a brand new and very exciting project. It’s one I’ve dreamt of bringing to life for the better part of my creative career and I can’t wait to share it with you! This shift in
