Summer Flowers Quilt

A little pink quilt for a little girl named Annabelle.

Disclaimer: If you receive a quilt from me, please be informed that my dog probably sat on it. She is clean-ish.

R + T Wedding

Rachel and Tim are two of my favorite people. When they told me that they were getting married, and once I'd worn myself out fist pumping and jumping up and down,  I begged them to let me design their wedding invitations. Thanks, Rach, for saying yes :)

These invites are a bit smaller than average, standing at only 6" and are printed on aspen wood. 

E + C Wedding

pretty little pink invitation. Just the perfect color for a June wedding. Emily's main color is blush pink with accents of poppy, sage, mint and burlap (is that a color? well, the color of burlap). She is possibly the most laid back bride I've ever worked with. She very much spoiled me. I'm sure with that attitude she will have a beautiful and enjoyable wedding day. Congrats, Emily!

Sparketing

About a month ago my husband, John, took the huge (and maybe a bit scary) leap into becoming his own boss. He quit his job and along with an old co-worker he started his own research firm. For those of you who know John it's hard to believe that statistics and research would become two defining adjective. However, he continues to surprise us all - including myself.

Well, with a graphic designer for a wife, I told him that before they made a single spread sheet or pie chart or whatever database they're rigging up, they needed a logo. Here's my contribution to Sparketing - Ignite You're Marketing!

pssst..the last one is the final.

Rainbow Quilt

Happy Little Limes

he sun is shining and somewhere in the world limes are growing. Most definitely not here in Chicago. It looks like the high today is somewhere between "my breath just froze in my mouth" and....dead. With the official record sitting at 9º. With that kind of weather, one has to get creative with their Vitamin C.

R&R Watercolor

After wrapping up an all consuming project (more on that later) I needed something to center me again. Something that didn't include an entire bag of Dove chocolates (prob cause I ate em all) OR a Jillian Michaels scream fest OMG-How-Did-I-Get-This-Out-Of-Shape guilt trip spiral. Something so cathartic that I might actually feel a little zzzzzen...

Two things: being still. and water. (Ick, I'm rolling my eyes at the Buddhist-mass-appeal/horrible irony of someone like me trying to state something like that)

Let me start over. I set up some junk lying around my house and then I painted it. Afterwards, I felt pretty good.

I can't resist a photo op for Scraps. And she loves her new painting. So much that she takes naps on it.
