Hi, what's your timeframe to finish 1 book?

[@economadic2103]

I saw a yellow duckling at our local garden and duck pond and it made me think of this video and your lovely duckling illustration :)

[@MariJadeWrites]

This is so inspiring 😍 lovely that you can work on projects that feel close to your heart with the picture books 💕 i am working on coloring book project myself and am struggling with getting it done as it's a self imposed deadline and there is no guarantee it'll sell at all, lately i feel a bit discouraged. But your video warmed my soul, thank you ❤️

[@missyroberts8197]

you two are so cute together. Love your videos. They're so helpful, but I also love listening to your videos while I sketch to stay inspired.

[@huggyhuggsbears1265]

Hi there, I really enjoy the calmness of your videos, so warming and so cozy. I especially love the beautiful view looking out from your window, as a kid I've always been fascinated with watching and hearing the sound of the breeze blowing through the trees, it's so calming and therapeutic and best of all, it's all freee for us all to enjoy. It takes a very strong minded person to visit their local bakery and not come out of there without buying a sweet treat....I sadly don't have that will power😂 You asked yourself whether you'll ever get bored or tired of drawing as you draw every day...... well, take it from someone who has been drawing all of his life, you never get bored of it!! Infact, you'll find your drawing skills will improve and that in return will inspire you to create even more beautiful work. As well as seeing the artwork that you've created you'll also be able to feel inside that you are improving and that's a priceless feeling. I absolutely love watching vlogs about people ( such as yourself ) who have taken that bold step into turning their hobby/ passion into a fulltime career, it's so inspiring and it proves with hard work & dedication, you can achieve your dream goals. I really wish you good health, and may your channel continue to grow and help inspire others out there to help realise their dreams and make it their own reality. Lots of Love & Best Wishes ❤😊

Thank you Mimi for this wonderful video. I have been taken a lot more long walks to help with my inspiration. I have also learned to look closer at nature on my walk back from work and feel a lot more relax instead of rushing to and from. I reaaly appreciate your videos, they are very calm and beautiful.

[@rvlpaintings4679]

I love this video! Lovely to see how you break up your day, I must admit I get so lost in painting that I forget to take breaks as often as I should 🤦‍♀️ but this is something I'm working on 🥰🤭 How lovely to have a picnic and walk occasionally for your lunch! It looks like such a beautiful park!❤️ Love seeing your work and video as always! Rachel x

[@MystiqSoul]

So lovely and cozy!

[@김수진-y7n5r]

Loved this vidoe❤ thank you so much! This is so beautiful amd calming

[@Misspateczka1991]

Greeting from Poland! Hopefully all the snacks were a good treat! I really like all the videos and super cozy vibe :D

[@kasiahebda]

Lovely video, I adore how excited you were about ducklings ❤️ It's funny to see Polish treats, you should definitely try dipping Paluszki in kogel-mogel - that's an ultimate 90s snack from Poland.

[@krasopiska]

Praha mug! Hi from Czechia

[@Silustrations]

Hey Mimi! I love your videos. I just wanted to add to the topic of looking after yourself as an artist - I have had a lot of wrist issues and have been trying to not only massage my arms and shoulders and stretch, but a big cruital help has been getting an ergonomic mouse and keyboard. I would have never thought it would be so helpful, but it has made such a difference. So perhaps it is something you could consider too! Mine are from Logitech, I do not know other brands' ergonomic accessories but I can definitely recommend it

[@MimimooIllustration]

Thanks for the great tip!

[@umimop]

Do you crochet? I often see you in beautiful handmade sweaters and I wonder, who makes these. Also, I love the colour scheme and vibe of your art so much!♥️

[@MimimooIllustration]

I wish! I think I'd like to learn one day, there's a shop called Ghanda that does cute sweaters 😊

[@megandaley3551]

Ashley Weinberg has illustrated this year

[@ddaretive]

😮 I am very surprised that this video didn’t get as much likes or views, but it doesn’t matter, does it :)? All it matter is that you keep up the good work and take a break once in a while. I have recently subbed to you and I really love your art! I too am passionate about my art, you are in one of many artists that inspire me :D.

[@fuzzydragons]

aw can never have too many fluffly ducklings to look at😀

[@MimimooIllustration]
