As we welcome 2026, our hearts are filled with gratitude, warmth, and quiet joy. A new year is not just a change of numbers. It is a gentle pause, a moment to look back at everything we have shared, and a soft step forward into what is still unfolding.
This past year has been incredibly meaningful to us. Southern Lotus grew not only through new illustrations, new coloring pages, and new creative ideas, but through you. Every time you picked up your markers, downloaded a page, shared your finished artwork, or left a kind message, you became part of our story.
From the very beginning, Southern Lotus was created as a cozy space. A place for slow moments, gentle creativity, and comfort in everyday life. Seeing our coloring pages become part of your routines, your quiet evenings, your self care time, or your creative breaks has been the greatest gift we could receive.
Thank you for trusting our work.
Thank you for supporting a small creative brand.
Thank you for choosing to spend your time coloring with us.
Your encouragement, feedback, and love have shaped Southern Lotus more than you may realize.
As we step into 2026, we carry forward the same intention that started it all. To create illustrations that feel warm, calm, and human. To design coloring pages that help you slow down, breathe, and enjoy the simple beauty of everyday moments.
We are excited to continue this journey with you. There will be more cozy scenes, more gentle details, more quiet joy waiting to be colored, one page at a time.
May this new year bring you peace, creativity, comfort, and many small moments that make your days feel a little softer.

We also want to share something special we’ve been preparing with a lot of care. OUR 2026 CALENDAR is more than a way to mark days. It is a collection of small, cozy moments designed to bring calm, creativity, and warmth into everyday life.
If you enjoy slow mornings, quiet evenings, and making space for creativity in your routine, we invite you to read our 2026 calendar blog to see the story, inspiration, and ideas behind it. We hope it becomes a gentle companion throughout the year ahead.
From all of us at Southern Lotus,
Happy New Year 2026
