Lovely Lavatory

My good friend (who has recently re-designed her guest bathroom) asked me to create some art for said restroom. I gladly accepted the assignment and was really pleased with the end result: a nice, colorful tree illustration with a silhouette of a labrador (a tribute to her new pup Knox!) with and a contrasting bright abstract pattern on the opposite wall.

Alexis' Baby Shower

This past Saturday was Alexis' Baby Shower and - Oh Boy! Oh Boy! - was it awesome! My bestie (Krista) is a super crafty gal who just happens to love decorating + making Puff Balls. She asked to me help out with a couple of the paper goods and together we are an unstoppable decorating force! It was so much fun and I'm glad I was able to help out! Special thanks to Marla (and her newly decorated home) and the rest of the shower hosts (Beth, Rachel, Jessica & Katie) for a great afternoon!

These little guys were just the cutest! Since she made all of the puff balls herself, Krista ordered these off Etsy (the best website in the world) Check them out the site here!

Also, Krista ordered this cardboard cupcake holder for like $12 online and covered it with awesome wrapping paper to create THE cutest cupcake stand in the world! Amazing!

Sunday Drawing

This past weekend I saw am image of a tray in a catalog that inspired me, so on Sunday I decided to do a little drawing/collage work! Materials used: magic markers, crayons, watercolors, ball point pen and credit card receipts. It was a great, fun, mindless way to spend a Sunday!

Weekend Project: Floral Arrangement

I was out doing some shopping this weekend when I came across this little gem - I thought he was adorable/festive. I'm sure most people might use him to enjoy a nice ale. Me? I'm going to go with flower arrangement.

I thought the purple and green played nicely off each other.

I had a few flowers left over so I made him a little buddy!

I also finished decorating my house for Christmas (not a minute too soon, huh!) Stay tuned for pictures!
