Screen Printin A Totes!

I have FINALLY finished fixin' up my doodles in black and white for the totes i'm screen printing. 

I think they came out pretty darn snazzy!  Now...off to finish the doodles for the onesies I'm going to create! 

Here is a little example...although i can't figure out a way to color screen print the onesies so i'll have to color them by hand unless i want it black and white. :)

What do ya think?

Cakeballs, Friendships and NYcity.

 

Today started with a cakeball.

Okay...maybe it didn't START with a cakeball, but my taste buds were VERY happy and content around cakeball time... 

 

see that pretty lady there, ALSO holding a cakeball? That's Laura from Le Animale. She's makes these stinkin' cute animal totems.

^See!! I told you! How cute!^

We spent a little while this afternoon cruising around Union Square, chatting about life the ins and outs of our business'. 

The piece of advice that has stuck with me and stressed me out [already?!!?] is learning to blog CONSISTENTLY! Sigh..I'm so terrible at this. I've blogged about it OVER and OVER. lol

ALAS... i've come up with something manageable! [i think?]

Posts to keep the Monday blues from coming. Inspiring things i think will bring joy to your day!

I've had so much progress with my Nightly Doodles blog, THUS i want to show off share these whimsical, encouraging doodles with you here on this blog as well. :)

New things are happening ALL the time in my little tiny NY studio! On Tuesdays, i'll show you what's happening and share my new projects!

I will [always] continue with my food obsession. Fridays on the blog are all about what i made, what to make, or ate this week!

Ha, just wanted to show you the cakeball ONE more time. ;) 

There may be a few other blog posts i sneak in there too, but you will now always? YES! Always hear from me on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. 

If you find i'm slacking off, slap me!! Or just tell me you miss my posts? Or...i guess slapping will work too after all. ;)

Hope you have an inspired day!

Nightly Doodles on Martha Stewart!!

About a month ago i stumbled upon an amazing opportunity!

I would REALLY REALLY appreciate your vote! 

Please and THANK YOU!

Crossing my fingers, toes, EYES and ears that you vote for me!

Thank you SOOOO much!

the UC bike challenge.

It's that time again for another Uncommon Goods challenge! 

I just submitted my doodle drawings of bikes for the UC challenge. Bikes have a LOT of meaning for me, so it was both challenging and full filling to share my story below.

 

Bikes are really important to my family and i. The last few years have been really rough on all of us. At the most difficult time, my parents started to ride a tandem bike together.  The unity that must happen for two to ride a bike together along with all the time they spent together during their rides, helped our family life slowly but surely get better.

 

 A couple weeks ago i read an article about Rebecca Romain and her husband Jerry saying:

"Riding a tandem bike became the best marital therapy you could possibly ask for. We would always come back completely different—in sync, the team again." 

and that's exactly what helped my parents too. 

I'm so thankful.

THREE ways to say "I'm Sorry!"

Sometimes it could be REALLY difficult to say I'm sorry.

I was talking to a friend recently who suggested i make a line of 'sorry greetings' for special situations. But for now, here are THREE different ways to say you're sorry.

Happy 'i'm not sorry it's' Friday!

Bridesmaid cards anyone?

I am SO in love my new card. If i could marry it [and then give myself one!] i totally would! 

I'm ordering them right now and then they'll be in my shop soon!

Blogger Bash NYC!

Last week i blogged about going to go to #bloggerbashNYC. 

This past Saturday morning i went into New York City to mingle with a few dozen folks i've never met before. :) 

I also had the pleasure of eating these delicious strawberry cupcakes you see above, drink a yummy beverage, and chat with the very talented Wendy and Laura.

At the end of the event, we learned Rebecca's birthday and her sweet boyfriend and close friends brought her some candle lit cupcakes to make a wish on.

It was a fun event, with lots of great sponsors [you can see all of them below!], I look forward to attending the next one!
