Print and Pattern Feature!

Print & Pattern was gracious enough to feature some of my work this week! I am an avid visitor of this blog and receive inspiration from all of the fun stuff I find here almost on a daily basis. I am honored to be included! The author, Bowie Style, compiles the best of the best of all my favorite stuff on her blog and has also written two books about (what else) all things print and pattern. Please check out the posting here.

December Print Sale

Visit the shop and buy one get one free print this month! Sweet.

On the Minus Side, on the Plus Side...

Minus: I have 'deactivated' the Christmas card listings on Etsy. I'm thinking I will concentrate on the wall art with a few announcements/invites thrown in the mix for now. I have a lot of Christmas card work to do and just not enough time to make a statement. Next year! But still let me know if you are at all interested in a card design.

Plus: I have added a few new designs. Check them out! There are a few colorways of each.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It seems weird to be launching this in the middle of the night, but such is my life. I was just playing around on the computer tonight and felt the need to be productive. I started in on a few minor changes to the blog, but started to get discouraged during my internet surfing. Who can keep up with all of the ridiculous talent out there? The more I read, the more I feel like I need to step it up. Should my blog be about my family and kids too? Should I share thoughtful, meaningful and personal insights? Should it look amazing and all be designed by me? After all, I am a professional artist (believe it or not)! How can I compare myself to those who make their blog their job? I cannot. After all, I do have a full time gig that keeps me out of the house from morning till night. And two very small children. And a husband who works and is in school. But still, the drive is there...

That being said, after a two hour hiatus spent consoling and giving in to the stubborness of a sick and oddly hungry baby from 9-11 pm, I decided to take the plunge and finally slap together the Etsy shop I have been very slowly but surely working on for a few months. The prints you see today are all I can possibly manange to post tonight. I plan to gradually add more as I can; I have a lot more prints waiting for a few more hours of time to dedicate to posting.

I also have a bunch of invitation designs ready to go. Unfortunately I started this work in the summer, so bridal and baby showers were on the brain. Not Christmas cards. I hope to squeeze out a few while Christmas is still relevant? Small window, I know. Probably not. Again, such is my life. As time goes by, hopefully it will get easier and quicker.

Enjoy, tell your friends, and know that I am willing to do anything custom. More to come, sooner rather than later hopefully.
