It's the Little Things...


I was rummaging through my room late last night in search of a sketchbook (i'm holding out until Christmas for a Moleskine!) that i could do a few little drawings in.  I found a sketchbook from the art class i took last year, with only one page used.  Armed with a thin Sharpie, inspiration from vintage Lily posts, and this rediscovered sketchbook, i began a wee project titled "It's the Little Things".  I felt the need to do something a bit more positive, something that i can flick through when i'm feeling down.

"It's the Little Things" is a mini series where i just illustrate the little things in life that make me happy or simply put a smile on my face, things that usually go unnoticed or taken for granted.  These are by no means professional drawings at all (they're actually a bit horrible haha), but i quite like them. Let me know if you're interested in seeing more of these :).  This is nbd, but i thought i'd share it with you all!

What are some of the little things in life that make you happy?
It would be awesome to get some ideas from you all, i'll try to illustrate them :)


Currently listening to: After the Storm - Mumford & Sons

  2. Those drawings are so cute! I really like them, Laura! Good idea. Little things that make me happy are good hair days, yummy smelling candles, warm laundry just out of the dryer!
