*fox

I made this fox illustration for the spoonflower animal tea towel contest some weeks ago. It is designed to fit exactly a Fat Quarter of "Linen Cotton Canvas Ultra" fabric, so it's perfect for getting one tea towel out of it, or 4 pieces if you order one yard of the fabric. Thank you to all who already purchased my fox fabric or other designs! Happy sewing!

reading and enjoying the everyday changes of nature.

*Almsee

One stop of our autumn vacation was the Almsee, an extremely beautiful mountain lake in Upper Austria. We had fabulous weather and especially enjoyed observing the swans.

My favorite moment –

when the sunlight

touches everything

for the first time on a new day.

*writing

It takes like forever until the big red morning sun rises nowadays, but it's the best time to do some studies.

Making lots of envelopes out of pretty papers for my snail-mail adventures and feeling grateful for all my pen pals all over the world.

There is so much happening lately that I started to write diary again to order my thoughts and new insights. I highly recommend it, if you are feeling overwhelmed easily!

*At night in the garden

We were always curious about what actually goes on in our garden at night, because we often hear the strangest noises and sounds. For my birthday, my father gifted me a wildlife camera, and since then we’ve been able to capture some of those nighttime visitors on camera!

*moorland

Blooming heather and birch trees…

The moor is so beautiful in so many ways! Last week, we had a week off, and our first stop was the moor again – everything was full of fly agarics and other mushrooms. Then we headed to the mountains, where it was super hot, over 30 degrees, and this week we already had the first minus degrees – what a crazy change!

My succulents are all in, I harvested my pumpkins, and I’m preparing the garden for winter. I’ve also been illustrating a lot and taking part in some challenges (more about that later).

*Hello Autumn!

The colors are slowly changing, flowers are withering, and the different angle at which the light comes through the windows of our home makes it so cozy inside that it feels safe to turn inward after the outgoing season of summer. The rain has brought mushrooms and snails, as well as the first cold, and like every year, I am surprised at how quickly it already gets dark in the evenings.
