Tiny is back 🪻

🌸 I’m back 🌸

Hello again, sweet friends. It’s been a while since I last posted — life carried me through a time of deep change and quiet healing. Earlier this summer, my family and I moved across states, and I had to say goodbye to several of my precious fur babies…

My beloved dog Petro crossed the rainbow bridge, along with two of my cherished black cats, Jasper and Canelo. And in a painful twist of fate, I had to release four more of my dear kitties — Griselda, Simba, Charlie, and Candy — because they were too scared to get into a carrier and come with us. 💔 I begged them, I tried everything, but in the end, I had to set them free and trust that they’d find their own way, or that someone kind would find them. It still breaks my heart…

I’ve spent the past month grieving, adjusting, and holding all of this love and loss gently in my heart. I took time away from my art, my blog, and social media — not because I stopped caring, but because I needed space to breathe again.

Today, I return to this little blog — my cozy digital home — with soft steps and renewed love. I missed being here with you all. I missed creating. And even though I’m still healing, I’m ready to share again. 🌈

New illustrations, dreamy stories, and little sparkles of hope are on their way. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being here.

With moonlight and gentle paws,

A Pause for Healing and Change🌙

🌙 A Pause for Healing and Change

Hello dear readers, moonbeams, and friends 💫 I wanted to take a moment to share something personal. As much as I adore writing, creating, and sharing little sparkles of joy with you, I’ll be stepping away from my blog for a little while. Life has shifted in a way that asks me to slow down and take care of my heart.

I’m currently in the process of moving out of my childhood home — the place that’s held my memories, laughter, and dreams for as long as I can remember. It’s a beautiful but emotional goodbye, and it’s taking more out of me than I thought it would.

And while I prepare to start this new chapter, I’ve also been faced with a heartbreaking wave of loss. In the past two months, I’ve had to say goodbye to not one, but three beloved companions — Jasper and Canelo, my sweet black kitties, and most recently, my brave and loyal dog Petro.

Each one of them held a unique place in my heart. Jasper was gentle and mysterious, Canelo was warm and curious, and Petro… Petro was my fierce little guardian, always watching over us. Losing them in such a short span has left me feeling tender, raw, and incomplete — even in a full house, it now feels like someone is missing.

🌸 So for now, I’m pressing pause. 🌸 I need time to grieve, to move, to process… and eventually, to heal. When I return, I hope to bring with me fresh stories, memories, and the strength that blooms through love and loss.

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and for always being a part of this cozy space. Please take care of your own hearts too — they’re so important.

“Even in the night sky, the moon returns. So will I, when my heart is ready to shine again.” 🌙

With love,

Saying Goodbye to the Home That Raised Me

 Hi moonbeam 💖

This week, something big and emotional is happening in my life:
I’m saying goodbye to the home that raised me.

The house I grew up in. The place where I learned to draw, cuddled with my cats, celebrated birthdays, and decorated for the holidays. The one that held me through every version of myself. 🌙

I wanted to write this post — not to say goodbye forever — but to honor her. My cozy, lived-in, memory-filled little home. 🏡💕

✨ A Place Full of Memories

I’ll never forget the smell of home after my mom’s cooking, or the way the sunlight came through my favorite window. The hallway filled with little pawprints. The walls that knew my laughter and my tears.

This home kept me safe through every heartbreak and held me close when I was figuring out who I was. I’m so thankful for her.

🎄 The Holidays, the Seasons, the Small Things

All the holidays spent here felt like something out of a dream.
Twinkling lights, warm drinks, sleepy pets curled up under the tree.

And the little seasonal rituals — decorating the porch, lighting incense in winter, letting the breeze in during spring… all those things I’ll carry in my heart wherever I go. 🌸🍂❄️🌞

🐾 My Cats, My Sanctuary, My Family

This home is where I met my first cats. Where I heard the tiny mews of newborn kittens. Where I cried into their fur during hard days, and laughed as they chased each other through the hall.

I can still hear their paws on the tile.
I can still feel the quiet warmth of family in every corner.

🌙 What I’m Taking With Me

Even though I’m moving to a new place — to build a new chapter, to chase my dreams — I know this home will never leave me.

She’ll live in the way I decorate, the way I care for my space, and the love I bring with me.

And I hope that wherever I go, I can create a home that feels just as warm and full of heart.

☁️🌸☁️✨☁️🌙☁️✨☁️🌸☁️

To my old home:
Thank you for sheltering me.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for being my beginning.
You’ll always be part of me.

With all my heart,

Chiisai Tsukiko aka Tiny Moonchild 🌙💖
