In December, Danielle and I started a little routine of having a “Christmas Party” every night, usually from 9-10pm, but we got started early on the days we could. One Saturday we even had an all day christmas party (!!!). These parties included Christmas movies or soft music, hot drinks, and piling on the coziest things possible - we’d put on plush socks, turn down the big lights, get out the snacks and ditch our phones.
So now that we’re in the habit of having a party every night, but Christmas is over, so we’ve had other kinds — a January Party, a Football Party and a Circle Party. Last night we had a Sad Party after we got some tough news this week, which was just the perfect thing to do.
It’s been so nice, setting aside some time to look forward to all day, to be with ourselves, present to the thing that is going on, prioritizing what is pleasant and slow and right for the body.
Wishing you a 2023 full of just the right parties, or whatever spacious practice will carry you through the happy in the new year as well as the sad.

The last day to buy stickers is Friday, Jan 6
I meant take them down in December, but I didn’t get to it. Good news: they’re still up for a couple of days if you’d like one last chance at this round of tiny art. To pick some up, shop here.
The next drop will probably be in the summer sometime and much smaller than this massive holiday haul we did this past month.
New Years Sales
The New Years Sales for Patreon and Easy Does It are also wrapping up!
❄️ Patreon
Sign up for monthly happy mail including art, stickers and writing. I’ve never discounted Patreon subscriptions before, but wanted to offer something special for New Years. So right now, annual memberships are 15% off! (and, you actually get 13 months of art in your first year, so it’s more like 22% off… and it’s already discounted quite a bit from the shop, and, free shipping, including international. I cannot overstate it: this is the most affordable/accessible way to begin collecting my art if you’ve been wanting to!)
