What I'm Working On

WORK: The last few weeks the holiday rush has slowed down a bit and I've been able to get to work designing again.  My latest projects are these two cards, featuring illustrations of things that just belong together.  They were designed with Valentine's Day in mind but I think they'd also be great for a best friend or anyone you hold dear.

SPOTLIGHT: Have you seen the latest issue of Greetings, etc.?  Take a look at page 20 and you'll see my Ribbon Invitations!  It's Lily Jane Stationery's first magazine feature.  I'm flattered and pretty excited.

THE HOMEFRONT: It's been dinosaur week at preschool.  I've never seen my three year old so chatty about what he's done there...he is loving it.  So we're taking a trip to the dinosaur museum today to cap it all off.  

I'm also going to be finishing up the last of the New Year's purging; I've been going through every nook and cranny of my house cleaning out and tidying up.  There will be victory dancing when it's all done.

SOON TO BE: There's a sweet DIY project underway.  It involves chocolate and toothpicks and I can't wait to share it with you.  It's coming next week!

What have you been working on lately?  Any plans for the weekend?

You're My Darling...

Trips to the library are a must at our house.  It helps us get through the winter and I love finding old children's books to thumb through.  When I found this poem in a vintage book of rhymes I knew it had to be made into a card. 

Pretty awesome, right?  It's available now in the shop.  Just in time for Valentine's Day (it's just around the corner...can you believe it?).

It's a long weekend here in the US and I plan to enjoy every bit of it.  I've started a new book, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, that I know I'll be powering through (I can't seem to put it down) and we'll be trying to put a little work into some small projects on the house.  What are your plans for the weekend?
