Feliz is a collaborative event next weekend in Austin, TX between Natalie Davis and my dear friend Abby Powell and celebrates everything handmade. the list of vendors looks incredible and the workshops sound so much fun. I’m so sad that I couldn’t make it as I’d really hoped to but if you’re in the Austin area November 2-4th, you must go! you can read more about the sale here.
I recently had the pleasure of contributing to the Everywhere Project, a collaborative design project that pays tribute to the classic folk song “I’ve Been Everywhere”. the project is curated by designer and illustrator, Adrian Walsh, and he’s rounded up quite a stellar crew of designers to create luggage labels, each representing one of the 92 locations that appear in the American version of the song. originally, I’d hoped for Idaho, but since it was already claimed, I chose Winslow, Arizona – check out what I said about it here!

did you know that aside from blogging and having the best job in the world of mom, I also do a fair amount of design and illustration? I specialize in vector graphic illustration, logo design, website design, blog theme design and implementation, invitation design, catalog/lookbook design and more. if you have a project you’d like to discuss, check out my portfolio and give me a shout.
I love these beautiful paintings and drawings from Katrin Coetzer. aren’t they stunning?

I came across the work of Robert Hunter on a new-to-me blog, Grain Edit, while doing some research for a project I’m working on. I love his illustration style so much.
I love this beautiful series of bugs on book covers by Bristol-based artist Rose Sanderson.
p.s. it always amazes me how squeamish I can be about bugs but yet how attracted I can be to their beauty.

I love this series of drawings and vintage photos from Lauren of Spencer Studio.
it’s no surprise that I’ve got a little thing for Entomology illustrations. these beautiful illustrations by Vladimir Stankovic caught my eye. they’re just gorgeous, aren’t they?

many of you might remember my very awesome, totally rad constellation chart that my dear friend Amy made for us last Christmas. we’ve got it hanging in Wolf’s room. well, Amy created this very awesome, totally rad constellation calendar that she’s selling in very limited editions in her shop. it’s printed with metallic silver ink, you guys. pick yours up right here.
