D: Drawing

Last week I shared a cute cow that we drew at the Kawaii Drawing Club®, and this week we made a friend for our cow – a cute girl 😍

Here are a few cute girls by our KDC members 🥰.

R: Resource

Are you doing any DIY over the holidays?

If you are looking for artisan fabrics, wallpaper, and home decor – you can check out Spoonflower.​

You can even upload your own fabric design and have it printed!!

I am not (yet 😉) selling on Spoonflower, but I did set up my account and ordered some kitchen towels with my art! 🥰

A: Affirmation

This week something "clicked". I finally felt at ease inside (even if only for a couple of days 😆).

I believe, part of it was prioritizing self-care... part of it is the warmer weather (sunshine makes me so happy).

But the interesting thing I noticed is that FIRST I started to feel at ease inside, and THEN external events began to "click".

How interesting 😊.

So here this week's affirmation, from Marianne Williamson:

W: Wonder

What I learned this week is that I really do need to "refill my cup"... before having energy to give to others (children, friends, students).

But also, there are MANY things that refill my cup. And some of them are really simple.

Here are a few things I observed to be extra-filling this week:

• A quiet cup of tea... just sipping, without a screen or a book
• Having a friend over in the afternoon (with no specific purpose, just to chat)
• Playing "Mario Cart" with my son 😄
• Dancing!

So here is a question to wonder about this week:

Have a beautiful week! ❤️

Warm regards,
Tatyana
