I made healthy muffins this morning. They are pretty filling because they are wholemeal based.

1 cup chopped, dried mixed fruits (apricots, dates, raisins, apples, pears etc)
1 1/2 cup wholemeal self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup oat bran
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 cup skim milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon honey

- In a small bowl, soak dry fruits with boiling water (about 1/4 cup) for about 5 mins.
- In a large bowl, sift in flour and baking powder, returning the husks into the bowl.
- Stir in oat bran and sugar, make a well in the centre.
- Combine, milk, egg, oil, honey in another bowl.
- Add the soaked fruit and milk mixture all at once to the dry ingredients.
- Fold in gently until combined, do not overmix.
- Spoon mixture into greased muffin tray, bake for 20 mins or until golden brown.

It’s me. Just with shorter hair now.

Cute right? I think so too.

You can get your sticker sets here. Have fun!

I’ve been bitten by the stamp bug lately and have resorted to stamping at anything that I can get my hands on. I think it’s contagious!

A little birdy told me that this person likes birds. Luckily for me, I found a bird stamp in my drawer.

I’m always grateful when someone visits my shop, so I try to incorporate a lot of hand drawings and handmade touches in their packages. These little things remind me why I love being an artist. I love art + making. And I love you!

Just added two more sticker packs in my shop: Kitty Mo sticker set and Cat beanie Mo sticker set. Hope you enjoy!

You’ll probably remember these illustrations from this post. I can’t believe it’s been 3 months!

That also says a lot about my working process. I usually have a lot of finished illustrations on my computer but I hold them off from printing until I am absolutely happy with the final product.

I think I’m very particular with how everything must look and packaging is so important to me. It drives me crazy. If I’m not happy, I won’t print it. If I print it and it doesn’t turn out the way it should look, I get very upset and I’ll put the design on hold until I figure out what to do next. Needless to say…it’s been 3 months.

Well…I’m just so happy to finally be able to show you my latest illustrations! And I’m glad I was nit picking over every detail. Because the end product looks great!! And I’m 100% happy now!

Bear Mo sticker set and Garden Mo sticker set are now available in my shop! Keep a look out for my other two packs!

I’m convinced that flowers makes the day sweeter.

Also, some new works in progress from me. I’m quite excited about this piece…it has an octopus in it!

Oh, this was lovely to open (and eat). Thanks Penny!

I ate 3 cookies after writing this!

I was inspired by Allana’s hand stamped wrapping paper from her blog that I decided to try it out myself.

I chose a tree stamp and made little tree prints all over some brown paper. I like that the print has uneven ink marks, it gives that charming appeal.

Since this was an actual order for a customer, I popped in one of my Little Mo thank you cards. All of my thank you cards are hand drawn on the spot. They are like little pieces of my original art:)

Then I stuck Mr Bunny on the package for some extra love! I hope you enjoy opening your Mo goodies, Karen!

We invited my brother in-laws up for dinner this weekend, and we cooked spaghetti and meatballs!

When I make meatballs, I like to make them big! I think it’s more fun to eat them this way. You can’t really tell from the pictures, but that’s two huge meatballs per plate:)

Niina brought animal cookies and mango flavoured sparkling wine, which tasted so good!
