April 2008

I just finished a monster site overhaul, to both update my site with new custom projects and other advances, and also to convert my static pages to dynamic ones. If you don’t know what this means, let me just say it is a giant, link crosschecking nightmare!

I went over pages again and again but if you happen to stumble upon a broken link, please drop me a line!

I have been accommodating individual requests for return address envelope printing, and now I finally have updated my stationery, invitation & announcement, and thank you card pages so you can select this option while shopping.

Return addresses are printed on the back flap of the envelope in the coordinating font of your choice, but in black.

Following some individual requests, my popular orange baby buggy design is now offered in blue and pink, for those who wish to have gender specific cards. This image can be used for stationery, invitations & announcements, thank you cards, and calling cards. Enjoy!

When I was getting ready to do my first art show, at the last minute I created a small batch of pretty magnets and people went crazy for them. I sold out, and at the shows I have done since, these magnets are always a huge hit. I think it’s something about their tactile, colorful nature; people cannot resist coming up and touching them.

I finally have gotten around to including these magnets in my online shop. They are super strong magnetically and super fabulous visually! Click here to see the styles offered; these magnets also can be incorporated into paper and party favors, as I did when I did the baby shower project for Scott & Tracie Hamilton.


One of my favorite things is making handmade gifts for friends, but this project was so cute that I wanted to keep it. Once again drawing on inspiration from Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts, I created a two-sided quilt for the director of my daughter’s school (who is fantastically deserving of a labor of love such as this).

I fell in love with the blue and mocha fabrics that comprised the sides but I wanted to keep it from looking too boyish since the gender was unknown. Laurel picked the orange for the binding, and I hand quilted by tracing flower and leaf elements using orange thread.
