I know it's easy to say, but try not to overthink it, I'm sure you're doing great!! 💕

My partner once had someone leave her patron and say in the survey that they left because of "pagan content", which is so funny honestly. Someone also left because she "does not post enough", when she literally couldn't do more. You can't please everyone and a lot of people feel very entitled.

To this day, this illustration is still one of my favourite. It's so soft and comforting, like a good hug 💕

Digital illustration: in a rustic workshop filled with various plants, an apron-wearing brown bear standing on it’s hind legs is transporting a potted plant towards a wooden table on which is set another pot filled with earth. A soft light is coming from a round window on the back wall and various critters are buzzing around.

Picture of two shrimp keychains handmade with felt resting on a black and wooden background; assorted felt and threads, and plants are framing them. The shrimps are striped with 4 colours: a vibrant red, an apricot, a coral pink, and a pale apricot. They have little heart-shaped noses coming out of the end of their faces as well as knobby whiskers. Three little red legs as well as a heart-shaped tail are poking out of the bottom of their curled bodies. Two little eyes are embroidered on each sides. They are both attached to a key thanks to a small key ring linked to them with an ivory ribbon.

A few rocks overgrown with moss and lichen are visible in the foreground.

On a branch of holly Is perched an Eurasian bullfinch wearing a green knitted had with a yellow pompon on the back and two dangling from the sides. The bird is looking up with amazement at a snowflake that just fell on its beak. A soft, warm light is illuminating the scene as snow piles up on the leaves if the holly.

Square digital illustration: two Egyptian geese are sitting and cuddling side by side on the arched trunk of a dead tree lying in a river. One branch of the tree grew sideways, forming an arch over the geese, a thick plant growing around it with a few bloomed pink bell flowers that seem to be glowing slightly. In the background, the riverbank is filled with dense trees, plants and mossy rocks that disappear in the shadow. Reed grass is growing on the edge of the water along a weeping willow. A soft, warm light is coming from the side, illuminating the scene in a comforting way

Digital illustration: Two pink robins, one male with a black back and pink chest and one female with a bulging brown body, cuddling on a red bird house with a greenish blue roof, surrounded with big pink flowers and a textured bright green background. A handwritten text reads “home is where you are”

Digital illustration: In a forest clearing, three magical, sentient stones are gathered together. The one in the center, an aqua blue colorée rock with rosie cheeks, is looking up, with a big green on its face, at a big yellow butterfly that landed on its head. On its left, an orange stone with a grassy hairdo looks unimpressed as a blue tit seems to be nesting on its head, comfortably settled in the grass. On the right, the smallest stone, purple and partly covered in lichen, looks at the bird with fascination. They are surrounded with thick and textured grass and plants, butterflies playing around them.
