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!

Little Dante Mirror



A mirror for a baby not yet arrived. Hope he likes it!




Finally! Etsy Shop!

C and Me Designs has arrived on Etsy! Click here!

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.

Shop Preview

I have been working on some printables for what seems like forever. I figured I could give some sneak-peaks- maybe it would be more incentive to get the Etsy shop up and running!

Anything can be customized. Colors, names, even designs. What do you think?

Mirror, Mirror

I had an impromptu day off from my day job last week, so I had some spare time (finally) to complete a mirror project I was asked to do forever ago. I'm still backed up, but every little bit helps! Here is Ethan's mirror- I cheated a little, by using an existing design, but it happened to work so well with his bedding.


Here also is a blast from the past, made for Hayleigh Grace:

Folksy Little Birdies - with a New Twist

You may remember seeing this little ditty last year. As styles change, I'm always looking back and trying to see how I can reinvent. Here's a try at revamping a happy print!

Hand Painted Mini Canvas

As I mentioned previously, I love to make things for my friends. More often than not it is a baby gift, which happens to be my favorite customer to design for- babies and kids. What makes it so easy is that my friends have great taste! Here is a little mini canvas for baby J.

This is my latest hand-painted project. Over the years I have looked forward to the arrival of new babies, giving me the chance to create special gifts just for them. I always have a few on my to-do list.

8x10 Folk Floral Prints

Some prints I came up with for my new floral. Its easier to apply them to a plain 8x10 then to actually put them on something! I will of course be adding more to the group. A little pattern goes a long way...
