He's so big!!!! And he still jumps into my arms and makes me hold him forever.

Quilting

Really excited to be working with my neighbor Gina on some quilting-related projects. Gina makes amazing quilts, is an expert seamstress, and the best knitter I know (sorry Mom). Right now she's working as a knitwear designer for Anthropologie and has yarn and needles in her hands every time I see her: at the beach, watching the Olympics, etc. I put together a bunch of different patterns in similar colorways for us to work with. We're not actually making quilts, but you'll see...

Etsy Featured Shop

I'm really honored to have my shop featured on the Etsy blog this week. Etsy has become such an integral part of my life over the past couple years, and has had such a profound effect on my work. I talked about it in the interview here. Here are some photos from the post, and a couple that weren't included.

Oh Comley

I'm very happy to be a part of issue 11 of one of my favorite magazines, Oh Comley. Big thank you to Laura Callaghan who was willing to listen to me babble about myself on Skype!

Summer Fruit

I painted some of my favorite summer fruit over the past few days, in honor of summer and how much I'm enjoying the fruit share part of our CSA. Last week I baked an amazing crumble with the strawberries and rhubarb we received, and this week we devoured a quart of blueberries in just a few days.

My collection for Anthropologie came out last week and this Griegii Mini Dress has quickly become my favorite. The samples I was sent are a size 6 and most of them pretty much swallow me alive, but this shift dress (also in the bears print) looks great oversized and cuffed. I'm so happy with how everything turned out, and also impressed with the quality. Reading "polyester lining" always makes me wrinkle my nose, but the lining on these is actually very soft and slinky, and super nice for a synthetic. So, take a look at my pieces and the rest of the Made in Kind lines here!
