happy day doodle

the humidity has finally gone away & it's beautiful outside! oh happy day indeed!!

the green bib necklace

this beaded swag bib necklace from anthropologie  catches me eye every time i see it. i could never pull it off though, i tend to wear simple jewelry if anything at all.. i think i love it so much because of the gorgeous green color annnd that it reminds me of all my tiny circle drawings. 

oreo the dog!

yesterday was my mom's birthday & in hopes of breaking the tradition of the same ol gifts we give her.. i tired my hand at something new. i drew her something. come to think of it, i don't think my parents have any recent artwork of mine!



this is a portrait of their dog oreo, who is a mostly black (with a tiny bit of white) cockapoo. she is still a puppy and is full of energy, and of course very adorable! i tired a few different versions.. one with her name and the big O, an actual oreo. but i went with this and was inspired by the design on the cookie as the background pattern.

today will be awesome

the past 2 days have been filled with lots of tiny little ink drawings, watercoloring, photo-shoots, photo editing, printing, cutting, resizing.. and well, you get the picture. it was super productive!
i've been drawing up a lot of these handwritten mantra's & i love them! they inspire me, so i hope they can/will inspire someone else!



ok, so today isn't very sunny & thats OK. matt and i are heading to hershey park for some roller-coaster/water-park fun. we will enjoy the cloudiness for we both have fair skin... and maybe it won't be so darn hot.
today, in fact, will be awesome.

prints + paper crafting

happy friday!! it's been a gorgeous few days here ie. not too hot, no rain.. so i was able to snap some shots of my latest fun. first up are 2 (out of 4) prints for a sunny beachy series i'm doing for a friend.



and i purchased this lovely blue & white yarn yesterday and just had to put it to good use. i made a fun little bunting! my original idea was to make one so i could take some lovely product print photos.. this white fence is the perfect backdrop!

super fun modcloth flats

these state fair flats from modlcoth are super adorable! they make me want to slip them on and hop on boardwalk rides all night & eat nothing but funnel cake.

also, sign me up for doing designs for insides of shoes!! how adorable is that?? my whole sketchbook is filled with birds!

leah duncan bike print + a curious catt

i was so excited when i took a peek in leah duncan's etsy shop last week... she has just recently added tea towels- swoon!
annd i've always loved her bike pattern.. lo and behold! it is now a limited edition print! it was one of those things... i couldn't not buy it. it arrived on my doorstep yesterday and i'm now the proud owner of this oh so lovely print! thanks leah!!!

happy june!
