30th June 2025
In recent years we’ve been simplifying our lives in small steady steps.
The birthday banner is strung up in the kitchen. The banner is fabric, hand made by a small UK maker and will last forever, or as close to it as we’ll need. It makes me happy each year that it comes out of the drawstring bag it is stored in.
Some changes are big, like moving out of the city and some, like the bunting, are not. Every change though, no matter how small, feels like untying a knot.
It’s been a minute since I’ve drawn a JOTT. Not because there hasn’t been JOTT worthy moments but because I’ve been busy, it’s been hot and for a little while I’d actually lost my journal, which no-one who knows me will be remotely surprised to hear.
Hi - I’m Cara, a Graphic Recorder, Illustrator and trainer working in the UK.
As well as The JOTT I write The Visual Edit, & host the graphic recorder club for Graphic Recorders, live illustrators and sketchnoters.
My book, Draw a Better Business is a visual thinking toolkit for creative thinking small business owners.
Thanks for following along; do say hi x
Hmm
