2014 Calendar Preview!

Hello friends!

 I have to apologize for my severe lack of updating over the past year, we have had a crazy 12 months! Last November my husband and I purchased a house, and immediately set about renovating and revitalizing it. That process consumed several months and is still ongoing, we've made great strides but as we are doing much of the work on our own it is pretty slow going!

In April Kyle and I had the happy news that we were expecting a baby! Much of the spring and summer has seen me nannying through first trimester exhaustion, and seeing that family move on to Boston, and trying to revitalize our front yard as a novice gardener. Since then I have been resting from years of nannying and busy growing our baby BOY, and trying to make new work for this holiday season! 

I am happy to announce that I will have a booth at T.C. Williams' Handmade Holiday again this year on November 16th, with a fresh line of calendars and note cards. I'm sinking now back into 3rd trimester fatigue, but am plowing through to prepare goodies for the show and for baby's arrival in December!

Here's a special preview of the artwork I've done for the new line, and I hope if you are in the area you will come out and support me and other local handmade artists at the fair on November 16th!

As you can see I have also updated my blog design and am rebranding the product line slightly, there will be lots of goodies to choose from at the fair, including special DIY gift wrapping kits, grab bags, and artwork from last year!

Thanks for reading and hope to see you all there!
