Invitations

Back in January I had the pleasure of throwing my friend a bridal shower... It was so much fun & I wanted to post the invites and some of the decorations I got to design for it. Addresses & names have been changed for privacy. It was so fun to do these orange invites.

Here are some of the decorations I made... I asked my boyfriend to help me find a good branch to use, I think he was a little bit mystified when I asked him to help me paint it orange! But it turned out well, and my mom liked the branch so she got to keep it! :)


Here are the party favors, I finally decided after much deliberation that I should give tea. My favorite was the jasmine tea. Anyway detail-obsessed as I am I wanted to do each teabag tag myself, so I designed these little leaf tags in illustrator and hot glued them all on. There were a couple jars leftover so I have been enjoying the tea often!


And here are the illustrator images of the labels, for fun:


Overall it turned out to be a really fun event! Congratulations you two!! (The wedding was last weekend and the ceremony was so moving. Everyone had a fantastic time!)

Downtown LA

Taken on my way home from work. my camera was about to die and I only had a fraction of a second to take it, out my car window. I thought it turned out well, all things considered!

artist of the week

This week's etsytwitter shop of the week is the talented kimwhitecreations, who makes really nice knit goods. I love her work and I totally could use one of these:


I love these cute & eco-friendly coffee cozies. She also creates cute scarves, shawls, hats and more. I wish I could knit like that! The best I can do is the really really basic kind, and even the idea of doing cabled knits confuses me.

Constellation Cat Print

This one is a few years old, I just never got around to listing it in my shop. So here it is: Constellation cat!

Llama Print

New print in the shop! Llama socks is all warm and bundled up, just in time for... spring? I know i know... I'm always doing season-related work too late, for probably the same reason why I want ice cream when it's cold out and hot coffee when it's hot out! :) well, this llama will be warm year round.
