Mostly little things,… Read More

Pink Moment of the Week

My yoga students continue to surprise and amaze me. Not only through their practice. Especially in my prenatal and mama- and baby yoga classes, where I see my students grow and change during quite a wonderful and intense time, I sometimes get lovely cards and presents. Like this week: A sewing book for yoga clothes… Read More

Pattern 1/52

I am happy to announce a new year-long project today! As my three 365-day-projects have ended with the end of last year, I first felt some relieve for a while this month. Carolina has stopped taking her afternoon naps coinciding with the end of the photo-project and I can declutter now only when I feel… Read More

I am off to some early Easter holidaying ☀️🌼☀️

It will not be quite as warm and tropical and bikini-weather like as for @juliadeniraco in @vavea_bikini (with a print of mine 🌴🌺👙)

Still - a lot of vitamin sea will be involved for sure 🌊 and I might be posting a bit here and there, but mostly I will go with the flow. Sea you!

Straight out of my sketchbook - ‘Doodle Jungle’ for French brand @lafianceeofficiel 

I love how they worded their brand story - it draws inspiration from its many travels across the globe and infuses it in its collections with their vibrant prints. They strive to share the principals of a joyful and constantly changing/travelling femininity in which feeling good and having a great time is of utmost importance. 

Travel, vibrancy, joy and femininity - I have one more print with them coming 🌴🌸💫

That’s how it goes - I painted this tropical art That’s how it goes - I painted this tropical artwork in wintery Northern Germany about this time three years ago, made it into a repeating pattern, licensed it to Swedish brand @brightswimwear in July last year, they launched it on swimwear as part of their ‘Hearts on Fire’ collection a month ago, and now it is already hitting the beaches of Hawaii, Florida and Australia. We have had quite a bit of snow here in Northern Germany recently 😉
