Floral inspiration for more of these.

Although I doubt I'll be getting much hand-sewing done this weekend.......



Eeeeeee!
Two years from now this will be paid off (*whew*). But I am so so happy and excited and hopeful for my sewing future. Not opening until the house is clean, or the house will never get cleaned. I'm going to go fall asleep reading the manual, now!

read any good picture books lately?

There was a good month in college when I was really excited about the prospect of being a children's illustrator. Fresh from waffling on the photography major, and drowning in the first semester of the art education major, I needed a creative outlet.

It never went any farther than several hours spent at the library perusing 'how to' books and children's books. But from the day I was born (approximately) to the day I die I have an intense love for these funny little illustrations.....

Most of my childhood books are still at my mom's, but I have a very small sweet collection here. If Mark can ever find the power cord to his scanner I will post them up, I promise!

(Trust me, you can't go on living without having seen The Cat's Pajamas!)
