A welcoming...

 New love, new joy, and new little mouths to feed!

This is a card I made for Design House Greeting last spring inspired by my neighbors apple tree and the momma robin who made her nest there.  I studied her new chirping family every morning while I drank my coffee.  

She’d fly back and forth with a beak full of worms to feed her chicks.  I admired her diligence and dedication and thought yes, motherhood can be hard but at least as human moms we don’t have to feed our little ones that way.

Here's the work in progress and the final card. It's available at Trader Joe's.

Around the World

 

Pack your bags, let's globe trot!  This is a map print Little Sleepies commissioned me to do last year.  

As you can see there's a lot to look at!

 

My Around the World map ties into my love of making fun, colorful art that you can learn from.

 

(And visit time and time again to soak up all the little details.) Where do you want to explore next?  

 

 

Maybe you'll dream about it tonight?

Look, you can even deck the entire family out in them!

 

Monkey business

 

Apes are fascinating to watch!  They're also fun to draw.

Types of tea

 

Do you have a favorite type of tea?  I like Jasmine or Portland Breakfast (from Smith Teamaker) & really don't like anything with chamomile. I don't get that flavor?  On the note of decisive flavors, I do like cilantro although I've never tried that in tea.

Happy Easter

 

Bunnies, blooms, and a few chicks — hope you're enjoying an eggscellent EASTER weekend! 🍫

 

 My favorite bunny ended up being the one with the prize winning carrot. 

Spring is in the air!

 

This is a cut paper piece I licensed to Design House Greetings last spring.  I enjoyed snipping out all the flowers and spring characters.  Do you have a favorite?  I like the bird on a circular branch in the bottom right corner.  That's the fun thing about spring, so many new little details to enjoy.

Duck, duck, goose

 

 

I like birds, especially ones with somewhat silly and curious dispositions, like geese.

This art was turned into a gift bag and wrap by Jillson Roberts.  It would make a delightful theme for a baby shower!
