Sitting Room Renovation Sensitive Home Interior Design by Amor Milagre
In the finished sitting room, we puzzle, movie, dance, fold laundry, sew, and read. I set out spring-themed books for little borrowers to enjoy, leaving tiny love notes for them to find by their hidden door in the tapestry-covered hearth. This room will be a cool haven from summer’s shine.
This week, I tucked away the wintry bulbs and bows and out came out pink jacketed bunnies of straw, spring greens, and darling ducklings. In the library-atelier, a spring ornament tree was decorated with little paws. I’ll show this pretty scene soon…
Dotted about our newly custom made bookcases are some springtime oil paintings. My muse, during our first year renovating/living here, was the flowering apple tree in the back garden. All pink, all of a sudden, and humming with bees.
Now, to sew up some summer breeze tea-length skirts in airy organic cottons…
Happy Early Spring to You! Love, ~ Amor Milagre

Amor Milagre Handmade Wax Seal Stickers Custom Stamps
Good Evening. Welcome to my atelier from this morning’s joyous work.
My newest collection, custom hand-pressed wax seal stickers, will release soon. I am overjoyed with these unique jewels! This time travelling artist sighs in the comfort of designing my own custom seal stamps. I revel in the colours and the transitions when two hues swirl together into a beautiful romantic pattern.
The importance of homemade art is not only evident in the bliss it brings to the one doing it, but also in the practice of going to museums to awe at those who have expressed their lives of feelings and stories. (Is there a regular charge or admittance for daily tours to enter/study mass-produced products in stores/factories? Does anyone brag to friends at parties about knowing and acquiring an assembly line robot’s daily work? I suppose there are some rather dull electronics that get screen junkies jazzed up. Are there auction houses selling mass produced t-shirts or mugs for devastating prices? I hope not, but I don’t know because I love being home, making things with my hands.)
You can sense clues of the SOUL in fine chisel work, indented to look like pressure on marble skin. You can muster up tips from deducing how colours were mixed, with what kind of tools, and applied to what material? What was the idea? How could anyone, even the artist, even know? What were they feeling? How do I feel sensing art? How exquisite it is to ask questions, to be interested! Art is full of mysteries…mostly never solved, often speculated about, but still very much loved and interesting on a mass scale. To appeal to a crowd, people do not have to bring home identical objects. That is not special. People love ‘one of a kind’ because each person is one of a kind. People are intuitively drawn to, and love, themselves. I design my growing garden of collections to remind everyone that they are special and wonderful because they are the only one like them. A soul cannot be replicated. These seals are each completely different and there is no way to make them the same. I love that. My hands pulse because I’m alive. Auras fog air. Nothing is ‘perfect’, and that is beautiful. The lovely thing about the process of making artwork, music, anything…is that you are connecting to your inner self, and through you, you connect to every piece of dust in this universe. Art is meditation. Art can bring peace to all. We are all art.
My artwork, and especially these wax seals, can be sensed in various ways. The giver, the receiver, the textures and visuals alone, and the past are all present within each hand-crafted piece. Making handmade artwork inspires more art, in every direction, for the artist and anyone who comes into contact with it. Collectors will adore the attention to detail woven throughout my collections. These seals appear in my books, logos, and packaging. Since everything is connected, I hope you have a ball finding the breadcrumbs I’m leaving behind for you all…breadcrumbs of hope, love, empathy, and peaceful possibilities. Wax seal stickers can be applied to journals, books, and stationery. Check my shop and this journal soon to see how I’ve included these seals into my stationery collection.
Amor Milagre Handmade Wax Seal Stickers Custom Stamps
New packaging includes hand-embossed seal stickers with a darling Amor Milagre Bunny design, in gold and white. For me, bunnies are symbols of hope, hopping around, spreading love. My first childhood friends were real garden bunnies, tiny brown ones. They’d sit and chat with me for a spell. I am endlessly inspired by nature, and there are quite a few bunnies grazing about in my shop, keeping me company. More Bunny Books are coming soon!
Care and artisan craft goes into every order. I design to give something special. These stickers are being sweetly placed into every one of my signed first edition books! Now, and years from now, these timeless capsules will bring smiles, I hope, to the finder! Children know the best things to be excited about. I pay attention to, and remember myself, what excites children. They love magic. They love Love. It is the most important thing, love. Magic is just love, loving possibilities for the every day. I paint in, write in, emboss in, and seal in magic to all of my little trinkets for the universe. I send magic to you now. Did you feel it? Are you smiling? At least inside? Ok… we’ll practice that… Magic takes practice, for some, so that is why I’m so focused on magical details. Breadcrumbs of golden star and silver moon dust…to follow back to your own beautiful soulful expressions. You have much positivity to share…just remember you do, and you do.
Amor Milagre Handmade Wax Seal Stickers Custom Stamps
Small companies are hardly seen in this modern greed-based world, which means that magic and love are not as readily available to inspire positive childhoods and days for all ages. I’ll never stop painting, writing, and making things by heart. Real art is what makes a life’s work fulfilling, meaningful, and worth the time and energy it takes to craft by hand. It’s not only about the end result, but it’s also about what the artist puts into their pieces. How they feel affects how you feel. I feel at peace when I work. I send that peace to you.
Amor Milagre Handmade Wax Seal Stickers Custom Stamps
Not only is this time-honoured tradition beautiful in result, but the process is thoroughly soothing to practice and unwind into each week. My custom stamp designs will release every season. This new Rainy Day Umbrella for spring joins my previous Amor Milagre company logos-Loving Home and Empathic Goddess in my collection release. I plan to grow these options for all occasions. This is just too much fun to stop at three! *Close-ups of these intricate designs will be visible soon on product pages once listed.
Amor Milagre Handmade Wax Seal Stickers Custom Stamps
Handmade art lends itself naturally to accidentally making more art in the process. These gorgeous wax drips can easily lead me to something new, just as Pollock’s drizzles became a monumental serendipitous moment in the studio and Van Gogh’s loaded brushes scraped and carved out a new style of painting to feel movement from texture. I have some plans for these stringy gloopy beauties… My family has peeked in to marvel at these elemental shapes and shines. Their first copies of my books have all been adorned with Mamma’s special wax seal designs. I write for us and for you. I can see these metallic orbs formulating now…melting their way into a story or ten, too.
Until then, Express & Love Authentically (and with your Senses) ~Amor Milagre

As always, I am very interested in resetting our daily routine to feel healthy, natural, and fulfilling. I already do this out of necessity as a sensitive person and as a mamma. The time when the new year comes into being appeals to me very much for this reason. I don’t set unattainable goals, but rather I write out how I’d like to feel, moods, and emotions. What do you need this year? More sleep? Definitely. What else….? From there, the ideas form for all the little useful and memorable things we can do to enjoy this fresh new year. Moments to learn new things, or to revisit old things, are jotted down as possibles to try out when we can. Building a strong haven for family time is my forever goal. For my company, which I now have more time and space for since we have finished our Rose Cottage renovations, I have specified big ideas to be savoured per month.
This January, I am illustrating three of my new empathic children’s books: Baby Baskets, Bunny Book, and 12 Little Dolls. They are warm and fuzzy -to keep your heart company on windy chilly days, or any day at all. Each of these cosy tales belongs to a new book series, beginning with the winter season. These kiddies are adorably sweet. My family sits their darling little chins on my shoulder while I wash in the colours, cooing hue and pattern suggestions for coats and mittens in my ear. Then, they write and illustrate their own amazing stories, far surpassing my imagination, which I do find to be limitless. These treasured moments are tucked into the pages, as I just…have to. They’re precious delicious things that need to be gobbled up with kisses and remembered forever, embossed into my book collection. As the author, I have the immense pleasure of revisiting these little colour and imagery choices as I review the pages again and again at bedtime. Echoes remind me where the ideas came from, hearing those wise baby voices proposing them months ago. For me, this is the best part. We dearly wish that this infinite love translates to my readers’ senses as they explore my loving stories for all ages.
My other main goal is to finish, publish, and release the updated illustrated version of the first four books in The Love Letter Diaries, Leona’s Homecoming. This is my favourite series. I love everyone in this multitude of friendly characters. The second volume is also coming up, which I’ll illustrate as well.
All new books will have fine art prints and stationery options for the artwork, series collections, and general book mood inspirations. In future, a sticker collection per book is planned. We do love stickers here. Puzzles are in the plan as well. We keep a large relaxing table and bare floor spots open for puzzles every day. Unwind the mind, solve a problem, build something beautiful!
Something else that we do to be in tune with the senses is cooking. I am adding some simply scrumptious recipes to my upcoming cookbook this month (vegan, organic, non-GMO, sugar-free). I like few steps, a few fresh ingredients, and a wonderful end result that fits nicely into the day. Little chefs, here at Rose Cottage, are exploring these easy to do delightful foods, too. We are very happy indeed to finally have our new kitchen! Design reveals are coming up in February.
A new product section is being added to my Stationery Shop! This excites me greatly as I have been wanting to make and sell this upcoming surprise for many years now. It is very much a part of my ancient soul, and it helps people connect their souls together with truly one of a kind, cherished expressions. Check out the new product section soon…
My creative process is to write and paint by hand, ideas go directly from me to the page. This translation is even too far a leap for direct fluency, but until I invent that Dream Recording Machine I designed when little, this is the best way. I save the modern requirement of combining everything on the screen until the very end. Yes, it takes a little bit longer in your probable opinion, but isn’t it best to be the most real with your work? Screens do not agree with humans, especially this one. It’s quite obvious when a book or painting was done solely in the computer. Those lack soul, or purpose, to me. I find it necessary and important to be authentic. Why else would one do it? Art by hand takes skill, practice, feel. It needs your senses. It needs you. It is you. It’s a moment from you. Write the date, note your writing snack, the weather, your family’s latest cute joke, another idea to do next week. This means something. Writing on (FSC) paper allows space for thought and air. You keep it. It keeps track of you. Where are you right now? Time is visible in the lines, in your penmanship. Did you fall asleep writing the end? Yes, it’s obvious. Can you read it? Maybe it’s a little difficult, but better a notebook than a blue screen before bed. Your eyes and mind are not being attacked by blue glaring artificiality. You can hear your Self. This leaves room for serendipity and surprising ideas that may lead to something more real, revealing a truth a screen would only mask more. *Real art shows readers how to draw, paint, write, express…their true selves. As a child, I studied, ‘Now, how did they do that? Oh, that’s easy. I can do that!’ Then, you try it. Simple. If everything is too smooth and you cannot find the artist’s senses, then all their work is hidden, unable to teach anyone. Don’t waste your process. Reveal your lines, your shaky pulsing being, for you are alive, not a robot! Being your Self inspires others to be their Self. This simple truth is what I wish for our world to remember. Be you. You’re wonderful! You have unique gifts to express and share. It’s fun!
Speaking of expressing oneself, I have updated my (Recycled, FSC) sustainable packaging for 2025! It further represents the timeless, soulful feeling of my love stories and various collections as you open up your special, customizable gifts. The colours and materials were chosen to emulate the four seasons. This helps my customers to immerse themselves into these nature-loving chapters at first sense. More on this is coming soon!
Once you find Amor Milagre, I hope you will revisit me again to fall in love with all of the new book characters as we do. In here, it is a peaceful world that grows in loving connections. This realm of positive possibilities can spill out into the external world and then back into the reader’s inner reverie. Everything is connected. My thoughts and messages encourage health in every direction, which lead to a smiling soul.
Exhale. Heal. Breathe in new life and…we wish you a very lovely New Year!
Love, ~ Amor Milagre
