Dreaming up a new book project per usual.

I’ve been really consumed lately with listening to business podcasts and how to be successful in this area.

Sometimes I get so distracted with all the different avenues I can take that I get analysis paralysis.

My goal this coming season of life is to really invest not only in the time and energy I put into my business but also to be more thoughtful with how I’m spending my personal time.

Small business owners, what are some good habits you’ve developed over the years that help you be successful?

My boyfriend is from Chicago and wanted me to paint his state butterfly, so the Monarch it is!

I see these here in Washington occasionally too and they are just so beautiful and colorful. I’m hoping the butterflies appreciate all the flowers I plan on adding to the landscape this year and stop by to visit.

I’ve been watching lots of @roots_and_refuge episodes and their adorable jersey cows.
I seriously can not wait until I can build my own homestead one day. Owning cows, sheep, chickens and goats and literally anything else is such a dream of mine.
Painting and illustrating helps during the time of waiting

Guardian dogs are so adorable. If you’ve never watched the Biggest Little Farm documentary their livestock dog, Rosie, protects the chickens from predators and it’s so sweet to watch.

The little red barn

Today I felt like scribbling out a tiny farm scene. I’ve been having fun getting my ink pens out again after several weeks of mostly using colored pencils .

New prints are available! I personally am so excited to get these hung up in my baby nursery. I’m 20 weeks along now and all the extra energy is making me so ready to get this baby’s room set up and decorated.
I plan on putting these three in 11*14 frames over his dresser. So cute!

The Morpho Goddard butterfly is so gorgeous I had to add it to my collection. Their wings are primarily blue but have a beautiful iridescent finish.

It’s been a really fun couple weeks of focusing more on pen and ink again and painting things that are more delicate.

Added some sparkle and color to butterfly number one.

My favorite part of creating new things is thinking about all of the different fun things I can make with them.

Next up on the drawing board is a Swallowtail :)

I have been busy with book orders the last couple weeks I’ve been barely able to spend time drawing. Finally I got my pens out and whipped up this one. I plan on adding a lot of iridescent watercolors to add color too.

Next week I launch the Barnyard Baby Book!

Self educating through the book publishing business is no joke. Between my baby’s nap times, midnight painting sessions, endless YouTube videos and ordering so many samples from publishers, I finally feel like this product is everything I dreamed it would be.

This first book project will always be so near and dear to my heart because it grew me into the artist and business owner I am today.

I’m so looking forward to what all this book will launch me too and what it will inspire me to do next.

Thank you so everyone who has supported my journey along the way. This Instagram community means more to me than you know .

Next week I’ll be posting ordering details to all who are interested!

Between my kid watching toy story, taking down Christmas, and coming up with baby nursery plans, I was able to get this one completed today.

I love how snuggly piglets get when they bundle up in a pile 🐖

I hope everyone had a wonderful, family filled holiday this weekend!

I shared my pregnancy yesterday and I was overwhelmed with the support and sweet messages from everyone, thank you

Baby Farmer is so very loved already.

This week I practiced more with colored pencils and oh my goodness those curls were tough, but overall I’m happy with the result.

It’s a very snowy wonderland up here in northern Washington, so staying home and staying warm is the plan.

Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Today I prioritized some time to break out my colored pencils. My favorite YouTuber @roots_and_refuge posted a video all about her beautiful dairy cows which had me thinking about all my future farm plans .
I feel in my heart of hearts one day I’ll make my homesteading dream happen . Until then I’ll practice gardening and manifesting my dreams through illustrating

These three remind me of my grandma and the Christ

These three remind me of my grandma and the Christmas tree she would out of entirely made up of bird ornaments. My mom puts up her tree every year to keep the tradition.
Now to make a Christmas pattern out it somehow…
