real summer

The summer solstice was a really nice excuse to pack up some oranges and a sketchbook and go to the park. There's been too much indoor work lately, and a late afternoon sun break was much needed. I tried to look nice by wearing my cat dress since it's the only clothing I have that's not from the Salvation Army. Also, I feel cooler wearing it now that a lot of bloggers and internet girls have convinced me that it is a cool thing. Sunglasses are from In God We Trust, and the denim shirt is from, yes, the Salvation Army.

more little things.

Lots of things are getting done at the house, so more blog posts to come!

I drew some bears today!

summer patterns

Hiiii. No, I'm not having a lazy summer on the beach, I am inside most of every day at D's house making things for my lovely Etsy followers and trying to do new things in the little time that's left. Some of these new things (like cooking!!! I'm becoming an expert at non-beef burgers) have a hard time fitting on the scanner.

Here are a couple new patterns I've made, though. They're ready to be dragged off the blog and tiled as pretty summer wallpaper.

Max moved to Vermont and left us his Nelson bench. Throw some cats on it.



Dylan made me the lil desk.


Also, I'm tweeting now (@leahreenagoren) so you can follow me if you'd like! It'd be much appreciated because twitter makes me a bit nervous.

new teees

New tees are up in the shop and ready for summer! Photographed in soft California light by Dylan Ousley. We also worked together on the first shirt, transforming a dream he had about floating cheetos into a textile.

SABBATICAL

I'm in California for THREE MONTHS. I have two cat dresses and four fungi shirts to make before I can even think about making anything fun or sitting by the pool. Sorry to anyone who feels the way my mom does, that they miss me and are wondering why I'm not updating the blog more often with new and interesting sad girls. Dylan and I have to go grocery shopping now but I'll be back soon!

I got some free Moleskines yesterday, thanks Moleskine!
