Make Art that sells: week three
Well, here we are, week three of MATS! Actually, I'm almost through with week four at this point and can't believe it's almost over- it went by sooooo fast! Still wanted to pop in and give the recap of week three though. Week three was all about children's book illustration and it was certain...
does this have to be just for teens? because holy moly, i love it all. how i wish my bedroom was this chic when i was a teen... those dotty sheets are just amazing, and those animal wall mounts. but i think my favorite is the unicorn wall mount. i wonder if my husband would allow that in our bedroom...

a restful wonderland {giveaway}...
I'm a big fan of designer collaborations with big box brands because it gives a glimpse into a designer's aesthetic in a more afforable form. I've been a fan of the styling and designer duo Emily & Meritt for some time now, so I loved seeing their newest line. The new Emily & Meritt for PBtee...
this is so great! and like you said, you totally could have done all this before taking the course... but it's helpful to get that outsider's perspective to push you out of complacency.

Make Art that sells: week two
So week two of Lilla Rogers ecourse is done and all I can say is wow. I had no idea what a difference this could make. I'm incredibly proud of the work I made this week, but here's the deal- it's not like two weeks ago I COULDN'T make this work. Something about Lilla's spirit, encouragement...
That is awesome! I feel the same way about comfort zones and this year I'm pushing myself too. Good luck! Can't wait to see the results of all your hard work.

Stepping out of the creative comfort zone
I did something about a month and a half ago that is scaring the shit out of me. Seriously. Every time I think about it, I want to run into the bedroom, bury my head under the pillow and sleep for, like, I don't know, a hundred years. What did I do exactly? I signed up for Surtex this coming...
i love this so much. reminds me of how i decorated my bedroom in high school.

decorating on a dime: creating an instant collection
After painting the walls of our bathroom grey to match the slate tiles in there (the color is Purrr-fect!) I was looking for a way to inject just a little color. First step- as is always one of my first steps- was to find a plant to snuggle into the corner by the window. The bright...

An office makeover
Ok- So technically this post should be titled "turning an empty dining room space into an office." Semantics. Meh. It's true though. We more than lucked out on the house we found to rent- it's a beautiful, welcoming space with lots of California character. But what we gained in character...

June 2013
Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend! We were pretty lazy around here and that was A-Ok. I did spent some time reflecting back on June. It was a good month in so many ways. First, it's my birthday month, so you know, there's that. Being surprised with flowers on your doorstep is alwa...

the home of sara and julius
"What?" That's all I could say when I saw these images of Sara and Julius' 18th century flat in Sweden over on French by Design. I love the perfectly imperfect curated feel, the limited palette, and the mix of modern and vintage pieces. The thought of having my clothing and...
this looks amazing already. love the scallops!

Sorry for the radio silence this week, but I'm furiously working away on a special, fun project. Here are some hints: It's something you can wear, and I'm playing with coffee filters, cupcake liners, parchment paper and jelly beans. Can't wait to show you the finished project! For now ...

I know converting shipping containers into liveable space is not a new thing, but it's a makeover I never tire of. Maybe someday this will be our solution to a home office when we buy a house. Or maybe a shipping container will become our get away on the shore of a lake in Minnes...

Ok- first off, how much do we love Kelly Cummings lettering?! Inspired by Lisa Congdon's 365 days of lettering, she is doing her own 365 days in 2013 and I can't wait to see it all! Next- I had to post these two phrases because they are words I always seem to need reminding of. Most people...

etsy gift guide: wool socks
I seem to find myself looking at knitted socks a lot lately. Maybe it's because it's one of those ye ol' timey gifts. Maybe because it's just that time of year when you want to get all cozy. Maybe it's because I just can't seem to get over how much WORK goes into something as utilitarian as a...

I know, I know. I'm WAY behind on my patterns. This challenge was harder than I thought it would be because this month turned out to be nut balls. I shall be catching up shortly. In the mean time, I wanted to give you all a peak at my Artcrank poster. I think I'm just about done designing, ...

I've had bikes on the brain for the last couple of weeks. You see, I'm over the moon excited to be a part of the very first Artcrank LAX! If you're not familiar with Artcrank, head on over here and check it out. It's a poster art show about bikes, biking, and bike culture. It started in Min...

I love discovering shops with little trinkets that are just BEGGING me to make something. A special little package for someone, a hand written note to dropped in a bag, a notebook decorated with dots. Inkkit is just that kind of shop. So simple. So perfect.
wow these are so great! you should make a print. or a calendar! i'd totally hang these in my kitchen :]

when failure is an option
This has been on my mind ever since I saw this post in Anne Sage's instagram feed. It's similar to the old "what would you do if you knew you couldn't fail" quote which, quite frankly, has never really struck a cord with me. Maybe because there are all sorts of things I would do if I knew I ...

fall is for wearing sweaters
Unless you live in LA. So here's the deal. I used to LIVE for fall. The changing of the seasons, the colors, the crisp air. I love it all. Most of all, I love the clothes. Of course this stems from back to school shopping. Picking out the perfect outfits for those first couple of weeks of s...

How beautiful are these typographic recipes by Leanda Xavian of One little bird Studio? I would love to have prints of my favorite recipes like this.
I love this quote. This post is actually very appropriate for me and all the change that's happening in my life right now. Hand lettering has been on my long list of things to learn as well. Good Luck!

discovering new lands
This quote is inscribed on a Jeanine Payer necklace that I own. I used to wear it almost every day. As a reminder. I hadn't worn it for a very long time, until recently. Maybe I just rediscovered it. Or maybe I needed to rediscover it. As a reminder. That sometimes we need to let go of all we ...

This is always the time of year I start to live in rompers. It's so hot all the time it's hard to make the effort for anything else. It also reminds me of my Grandma Millie who used to wear terrycloth rompers EVERY DAY in the summer. You know what I'm talking about- the ones from the 70's and...

One of the things I really wish I could do is calligraphy. It's an artform that truly fascinates me- especially when it's done so beautifully by someone like Elizabeth Danae.
i'm so jealous of this. need to learn how to do calligraphy.
