Grab your cozy mug—a little autumn magic just landed in the shop ☕✨

Between the sleeping black cat, friendly ghosts, and a witch who loves overalls, this 5" x 7" printable sheet was pure joy to draw.

Download instantly, print at home, and cut out as many as you need for your planners, book journals, or happy mail! Tap the link in my bio to grab yours! 🍂✂️

Do you cut stickers with a Cricut, or do you find scissors oddly relaxing? 👇

Turns out if you leave mushroom caps empty on your desk long enough, critters start moving in.

Two little mice, a pair of songbirds, a toad, and a moth. Most of them are just snoozing right on top of the caps. It felt so good building up all that fine linework on crisp white Stonehenge paper.

Getting these prepped behind the scenes to become greeting cards and bookmarks soon! Which little friend would you pick first? 🍄

I swear he watched me the entire time I was inking him.

There’s just something about a crow perched on weathered bark that instantly turns the whole room into a cozy autumn folktale. Building up those deep, velvety blacks against bright white Stonehenge paper was pure magic.

Would you trust him to deliver a secret message, or is he definitely plotting something?

Spending some time at my desk creating a new little character. Still tweaking the details on screen, but she’s already finding her personality.

Creating this piece was so relaxing. It felt like working on a puzzle—tackling one little section at a time until suddenly the whole scene was there. A Toad’s Autumn Tale.

What do you think of him?

Turning my mushroom drawings into bookmarks today. It’s fun watching the original pen work turn into little pieces of art ready to place in your book.

A Toad’s Autumn Tale is officially finished. Bringing a little quiet magic and fine-line texture to the Wild Autumn Forest Floor collection.

Putting the final details on A Toad’s Autumn Tale. Spending some quiet time with my pens, bringing this little forest dweller to life.
