Tending to the Tangled Yarn


Hello my lovelies, how are you? I hope life is kind and pretty dreams are filling your slumber at night. First, let me just thank everyone who had been so wonderful and generous with their best wishes for me and my newborn. It's so good to come back blogging and find that you can always find great friends here. :)

Life, I must say, is a huge different book for me now. Nothing is the same. Seriously, my mom wasn't kidding when she said that I'd have a big amount of tangled yarn to tend to once the baby comes and having three children to take care of. Yep, I've had good days and not so good ones too...but I'm hanging in there, trying to take one step at a time, even when the last one I took left a huge mess to clean up after.


Off She Flew, pencils and digital mediums


Despite all that, I've been trying to sneak a few minutes of drawing here and there just to keep my hand (and head) from getting rusty. Funny how these moments mean so much now, especially in between diaper changing! Haha! I suppose things will work out better once I've mastered the new rhythm. :)

Anyway, I've also promised myself that having a new baby won't keep me away from blogging and running my online shops. So here are a few updates I'd like to share with you...

  New prints at The Wish Forest... (including Off She Flew above)


A special promotion still running...


...and a few discounted items for everyone. All available at my shop!


Well I'm off to tend to my tangled yarn. Hopefully I'll be able to have everything flowing smoothly very soon.

So wish me luck! (I know I'll need it).

Hugs to you,

Amalia, oxx

  4. Oh, sweet Amalia! I wish you good luck for you deserve it! I can't believe you've found time (and strength) to write and draw! What a beautiful, tender picture of motherhood... I like the composition, the colours and the symbolics of the yarn... Oh, and the blond hair, too!:)
    I cannot imagine how one can take care of three children... But when there's love, everything is easier, I suppose. And I'm sure you'll manage. You began a new story in the book of your life, let it be merry and happy!
    Hugs!!xx

    greetings and hugs from oz :)

  9. Be still my heart. She is beautiful! I love her pouffy dress. Of course, everyone needs a little helper . I hope you have two of your own. :)

    When life gets a little too harried, remember that it won't last forever. Before you know it, you'll have more time on your hands.

  11. Hey there, new mommy! How are you doing? I remember those days of babies and toddlers and all the demands on you every minute... but remember it's okay to take some "me" time for yourself and do your painting. Your children will be proud of that and respect you for it, and will follow your example in their own lives.

  13. Ah! You are three times blessed! Babies are so wonderful. They grow up so fast, so enjoy them while you can still tell them what to do. I am so glad you find time to make beautiful art! Just try to have fun and enjoy everyday. Tsup!

  14. I had three and I can say that you will continue to have good days and bad, but the good will out weigh the bad and the bad will get fewer and further between. So now you have three sweet blessings that all grow up more quickly than you can imagine, so enjoy them. They'll be grown in the blink of an eye and you'll wonder where the time went. I can't say that you'll ever miss diapers though... beautiful work, as always Amalia. Hugs sweetie :)

  25. your pencil is really magic. Maybe that means you can also draw in all you need for you too. It is so expressive and wonderfully rendered.
