Hey, friends! I hope you have been having a great week 😊 Warm weather came unexpectedly early this year, and the normally chilly and rainy Netherlands has been cheering us up with the most delightfully sunny days! Tbh, I find it difficult to be efficient at the ''warm'' time of the year, feeling lazy and slow, and spending more time daydreaming than doing anything else 😄 But the summer markets are approaching, so many new painting have to be done, and there is no time to waste! In today's video you will get a glimpse of one of the future calendar spreads (painted with watercolors) and a super cute coffee poster (made digitally) I design for my, and if you wish so for your kitchen 😉 And since the spring is bustling with colors, I'm going to show you many-many amazing flower and nature scenes. We have to enjoy it until it lasts! I'm wishing you a week full of picnics, and many-many cute and cozy moments! Sending you love, Xenia
✨ NEW in the shop: The espresso poster I designed in this vlog is now available in my shop! It's the perfect blend of charm and coffee love

I'm used to give all I have. I'm used to
get nothing
back. Wherever I go, it's the same.
There's no excuses, no one to blame.
Sometimes I can understand how it can
be. so hard to stay out of
pain. But with you, everything has
changed. Even though we both stay the
same. Would you call me on the midnight
train? Would you come over when
nothing's
right? Would you hold me tight in the
rain?
Even as we're having a
fight,
say
[Music]
you say
[Music]
you I'm used to give up 100
times. It's never been worth it.
But now there is so much to
say. This time it is
different. Sometimes I can understand
how it can be. So hard to stay out of
pain. But with you everything has
changed. Even though we both stay the
same. You call me on the midnight train.
Would you come over when nothing's
right? Would you hold me tight in the
rain even as we're having a
fight? See
you. See you.
