Welcome 2024!
A 2023 recap and fun announcements for Spring 2024
Happy New Year! It’s been a bit since my last newsletter, the last quarter of 2023 was a bit bumpy with many projects. I hope that you are enjoying a bit of coziness wherever you are. I know January can feel a bit cold and grey where I am in the Northeast, but I’ve learned over the years to really treasure this time with lots of slower paced activities and Hygge inspired activities.
2023 ended with confetti! Many fun projects were wrapped up, and some new projects were underway. I’ve been lying low, trying to gently and slowly wade through some of those new projects that are on my desk, including a couple of books which I’m excited to share about later this year.
A few highlights from 2023!
I released six new puzzles with Galison, my most releases in one year so far! 2023 included two book puzzles and my first advent puzzle - which was so fun to see being enjoyed on social media in December. I heard from a lot of you on Instagram how much you loved the mini puzzle set.
Alma Editorial released the first seven cozy mysteries in the cozy mystery series, book covers illustrated by me, with more on the way this year.
My collection of seasonal works with Wentworth Wooden Puzzles went up for sale in 2023 and is available as a limited edition seasonal collection for a limited time only.
I illustrated a Pride & Prejudice sticker book that became available for pre-order and will be officially released in March!
My third annual calendar was released with Graphique de France. I think it may still be available on Amazon! We have some fun new calendar formats coming out this year as well which I’m excited for and I think you’re going to enjoy! They should be released in the early to mid part of Summer and I’ll try to make an announcement when they go up for sale.
Let’s Paint Anywhere and I released mini paint-by-number kits with new artwork that are incredibly sweet. More kits to come this year as well!
2024 New Puzzles & Products
Among the fun things happening this year, I have quite a few new things happening with Galison in 2024! First up, my Spring Terrace puzzle release, released this month and available now where Galison puzzles are sold.
We’ve also released some other lovely things, like playing cards, pens, bookmarks, a reusable shopping tote, journals, and assorted cards, most of which are available now in various places like Galison’s website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and local bookstores around the US. The playing cards are especially fun with custom illustrated suits.
And lastly (for this email!) This fun Flower Shop shaped puzzle, which will be available very soon - in mid March!
Thank you so much for following along, for liking, sharing, and enjoying the things I create. I love and appreciate you all (and so do Ernie and Snowy).
