Take it easy on yourself


Celinday Studio

Hello Reader,

Can you believe we’re halfway into the Q1 (I know, putting a timestamp like this sounds so scary.) At the start of the year, I committed to using a physical planner and creating a system for my business. However, I didn’t use the planner as much on the third week of the month, so I switched to jotting down what I worked on during the week.

To be honest, I didn’t accomplish the monthly goals I shared in the previous blog and newsletter. But I didn’t feel discouraged. To keep this newsletter short, you can read more by clicking on the button below. It’ll direct you to my Ko-fi post, and it’s free to access.

Here’s my plan for this month to make progress in surface pattern design:

  • Focus on a specific industry for my designs.
  • Experiment with various styles until I discover the one that resonates with me, but I will focus on one style at a time.
  • Watch planning lessons to better plan for the upcoming months.

I’m putting it out here, how about you, Reader? What’s your plan for this month and how is it coming along? Hit “reply” and share it with me, and don’t forget to take it easy on yourself too!

Warmly,

Shop Updates

Hello Reader, This feels like my usual opening line, but it’s been a while! Where did this year go? It’s flown by so fast. I’ve felt lost in my artist journey more times than I can count. Honestly, I’m still figuring out where I’m heading. Maybe it’s shiny object syndrome—I’ve been swimming in a deep pool, unsure where the edge is. But let’s focus on something exciting instead! I’ve created two mini collections this year. Wanderlust Meet Cute is fully available on Spoonflower in two...
