This summer has been super intense. I have started working after a period of being a stay-at-home mom since we moved to Seattle. That is one of the reasons my routine was quickly set upside down: I did not have so much time, or better, “me time” to develop my art and my products and designs.

I had to arrange activities for my daughters and every summer day was different from one another. You may think this was stressful, and, from time to time, it was.

But the summer of 2019 has also been rewarding and challenging in many positive ways. We got visits from family and friends! Family and friends who we do not see so often, and with whom we had the chance to spend precious time.

One of the visits was from Denmark – our home for five years before we called Kirkland in Washington our home. We spent beautiful days with them and explored remote beaches in British Columbia, Canada, as well as many outdoor options within the stunning Pacific North West area.

For a year now I have been writing and illustrating articles for the Northwest Danish Association Newsletter, and of course my Danish friends visiting us was the perfect excuse for a new article.

Check the text out here and the print with the blue daisies was the illustration. I love how it turned out! Never too late to share with you what I did in the summer 🙂

Looking forward to so many new adventures to share with you in 2020!

Love,

Mery
