It's be a fun month. I've seen so many of your lovely faces online and in person and it's really been filling me so much joy! I also cannot believe we're onto another new month. Not to echo small talkers, but MANNNN DOES TIME FLY!
I drew so much on my iPad this month. Like, look at this…
👆 That's FIFTEEN animals and it was done in ONE SITTING! And that was at the end of the month. My question is.. why can't I be that productive during times I've joined a challenge where I need to show up consistently? lol WHAT IS THIS and what am I even doing?! No complaints.
I even busted out my sketchbook for more animal play time and these kitties are just the cuuuutest if ya ask me.
I love it when I find a good ware. From essentials to splurges, these are my picks for wares this month…
- I was in a live session recently and shared about my arm roller thing and had a lotttt of people asking me for the link, so there she is in all her glory! Hooray for arm tension RELIEF!
-
The Tiny Chef Show. No explanation needed. This brings me so much joy.
- Uhhh did you know that you can get a rechargeable version of compressed air? Or am I just still living under my rock? I needed a new can of air and discovered that this is a thing, and it works so well. It's like a tiny leaf blower. No joke. You could blow some leaves with this.
When the perfect-fit crab arrives, they all SWAP SHELLS IN ORDER so everyone gets a new upgraded home!
Okay but did you know hermit crabs have a whole system for upgrading homes?? If one finds a shell that’s too big, it’ll just wait by it. Then other crabs show up, try it on, and if it's too roomy for them, too, they'll also hang out. Until there’s a whole crab line, organized by size.

Ok so it's a few days before my on sale date but Peggy's Playground is just as good an excuse as any of my others to release something early 🤣
So between you and me, let's consider this a soft release for my Gouache Studio Box for Procreate! Here it issss in all it's creamy, velvety, texture-filled glory!
- We stayed a couple nights in Seattle when I had a book signing and omgeeee I've never found a diner that nailed the trio of pancakes, hashbrowns, and eggs, until now. If you live in Seattle, not only will you get delicious food from Luna Park Cafe, but you'll also have a fun time looking at all of their vintage goodies, like the clown puppet machine tucked away near the back by the restrooms that says “Hey kids! Play with Peppy!” It's the little weirdos that get me 😆 but in all seriousness, the breakfast is classic and it's DONE RIGHT!
- This month on AMNW, we created fun bookmarks and also happy mail envelopes adorned in botanical line drawings featuring Pacific Northwest Line Drawing. I laughed a lot during both of these segments because I realized that, in a book about Pacific Northwest icons, and in a book published by Sasquatch, I DID NOT INCLUDE A SASQUATCH (Big Foot) STEP-BY-STEP!!! I can admit when I'm wrong. This was wrong. I mean, seriously! A maaaajor missed opportunity that I'll never live down 🤣
- Skillshare came to visit me 🥳 We spent a lovely day nerding out about creativity and filming my home studio! I'll be sure to share when that content goes live. Honestly, it felt like I was saying bye to good friends at the end 💔
That's it for this month's Playground, see you again next time!
