oh yes, I know I haven’t been posting much lately. not that I haven’t been making anything, but well, it’s just too sunny outside. if I’m being honest, the lack of content around here is mainly due to my wandering mind. right now, I’m quite the happy girl.

plus I’ve got tons of fun side projects. I’ve just received a couple of new moleskine notebooks; I’ve made a set of stamps and I’m working on the sweetest illustration ever for one of my very best friends.

I’ll probably sit back at my desk tomorrow. meanwhile, I hope you’re having a blast, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing. xx

I love how making these cards turns me into a relaxed person. finding a subject. sketching the illustration. picking the right colours.

and hopefully printing these out.
they truly make perfect notecards or can even be framed. I already picture one of my walls covered with them.
this is love. I tell you.

number three is delicious flamant rose; and four is trust zèbre. vive le cirque savant.

I’ve been weighing the pros and cons of both etsy and bigcartel lately; and really think I’m going to go for bigcartel.
do you guys have had any interesting experiences to share?

anyway, since I’m about to become fanny z (pronounce fanny zed) on bigcartel, I’ve been checking quite a lot of bigcartel hosted shops; and eventually fell in love with this one.

I’ve been inspired by diptychs lately, and this one is no exception.

I’ve finally found the desktop wallpapers of my dreams. twenty beautiful patterns to make your computer look pretty.

thank you tess & liz.

I came across Maria Forde’s beautiful website today, and totally fell in love with her illustrations.

spent pretty much all day thinking about being outdoors, and taking polaroid pictures of the surrounding herbs. quite coincidentally, that’s what I did after work.

I just love my camera. and thought I should carry it in my bag all the time.

I picked a couple of books at a garage sale last week end for barely nothing. in the pile stood this lovely children’s book: daniel et valérie à la montagne.

1981.

and still rocking. and makes me happy.

I’ve been feeling overly tired lately - definitely need to do that blood test soon. and as if this wasn’t enough of a sensation, I’ve been in that not so lovely state, in which I don’t like the - very few - things I make.

need to get better soon. maybe eating berries packed with vitamin C might help. on this latter note, the farmers market was gorgeous. I lvoe summer.
