Rainy day in Canberra today.
A good day (procrastination mode on high) to do some lettering after packing your orders 🥰

Miss Genie 🧞‍♀️ please make dinner ready for the family, pronto 💥
Tada 🎉 🥘 🍛 🍲 🍝 🍜 🍮

Yup, procrastinating in the kitchen too 🤣

Quick drawing of somebody 🙃
So good to get this out of the way. As the brain has been empty for weeks since lockdown.

Thank you everyone who reached out with custom work opportunities. Unfortunately I’m trying to finish my current freelance workload. I want to/am focus studying (and practising) the e-courses I paid for the year. The courses are something useful for me. I am also looking forward to create more personal work during this time.

I have been asked if I were to come up something trendy. It’s easy to get away creating things on trend. But how long can you do that? Not very long am sure.

I can see that I’m going through transition. In terms of life, style, mindset…thank you for hanging out with me while I navigating my next direction. Your companion is appreciated 😊 Like, comment, leave positive reviews for my online shop, share my works from here is one of the way to support me too. Thank you and thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏

Please welcome our latest stockist – @thecookgroce

Please welcome our latest stockist - @thecookgrocer in Cook, ACT! They are now stocking Missy Minzy’s range!

Bucket list ticked:
One of the dream is to have our range at The Cook Grocer in my then neighbourhood! You can now find our Canberra Map screen printed tea towels, selected greeting cards, Canberra themed across product ranges such as temporary tattoos, vinyl stickers, embroidered patches and enamel pins! They are stocking the Skywhalepapa enamel pins! So check them out if you are living in the area 🙂

All of the non-essential retail shops (our other local stockists) are still closed as ACT entered 3rd week of lockdown since mid August. But The Cook Grocer still open as they are one of the essential business.

So why not support your local grocer and your local artist when you can pick up some Canberra theme gift ideas for yourself or your love ones the next time you do your grocery shopping at The Cook Grocer! 😁

Welcome The Cook Grocer! :)

Late night deep thought. Not feeling very inspire

Late night deep thought.

Not feeling very inspired during this lockdown. I miss creating. I especially miss my quiet space when everyone is at work and at school during daytime. My personal space has been invaded 🤪

But tonight, I forced myself to sit down and just draw something. This quote is taken from a book I bought before the lockdown. 100 days happier. Simple notes. Quiet your mind.

Little corner at my new home studio! Just want t

Little corner at my new home studio!

Just want to jump on and share my thoughts and show gratitude to all who have bought my enamel pins, removable wall decals, handmade notebooks, temporary tattoos and my embroidered patches during the lockdown 😍 Your supports truly means a lot for me and my small business. Thank you thank you!

One of my usual local stockists who bringing steady income flow is closed since the lockdown. There goes one of my income streams. However, I have diverted my attention towards spending some time with my kids (home learning started yesterday) as well as catching up with my freelance jobs’ deadlines. It’s all good 😊

If you have been following my page long enough you would know that I’m an immunocompromised. Odd enough I’m usually is the “last man standing” in the household getting sick. My ears are onto all the COVID updates on exposure sites daily. It made me tense as I’m the only person go to the shop do grocery shopping. I try to do that only once a week. That’s when I usually post your orders. I cancelled my grocery delivery the other day because I think it should be given to the more vulnerable group when I can still go to the shop.

My highlight of the day is when I duck out for a quick run and a daily walk with my kids. Gotta love a blue sky sunny days during winter in Canberra. What is your highlight of the day if you are in lockdown too?

P.S: Thank you to those who left kind notes and lovely reviews for my shop. I read them all and I appreciate that a lot 🙏 Keep safe everyone xx

Alright people. I have this bunch of SECOND hard e

Alright people. I have this bunch of SECOND hard enamel pins in my webshop. There are Skywhale, Skywhalepapa, Crazy Cat Lady, Lucky Sloth, AvoSloth, Pinkie Girl, Bubble O’Bill, CBR Bus Stop.

So what does second means? Second means there are some minor imperfections. They don’t pass my quality check to be sold at full price. They still make a very cute pretty pin.

Second sales pins means they are pins with flaws! They may include dust or other colour/ glitter; air bubbles or tiny bumps on the names surface, small dents/scratches on the enamel or metal; small area may filled with the wrong colour; tiny marks at the backing; under filled enamel; or other such surface flaws. Most flaws are small, but some are very visible than the others. Main factor here is there are still wearable!
Link to shop in comment ⬇️

** Please note that the second pins will be sent without any backing card. But packed into small cello bags.

Hey #kenbehrens !!

How is everyone during the current lockdown? So this lockdown has just extended 2 more weeks! I have mixed feeling over these.

Love the part where I get to unpack the house after the move. Secondly, everyone is home 😒 It’s challenging to focus when the kids are at home. Yup, home schooling is back! Yay 😫😂🤪😭

Pay it forward act. I made the effort FaceTime checking my sister and a friend in Sydney last week. I think my friend was surprise that I called (love it)! 🤩 I sent a surprise treat to a friend who is in isolation with her kids at home. Remember to always bless others and be kind to yourself too 🥰 Have you pay it forward of late?

While I have your attention there. I will now limit my trips to the post office to once a week during lockdown time.

The webshop is having 10% off across some of my popular range. A friendly reminder there is still few hours to go before the free shipping code expiring on my Etsy shop.
