I’m working with 1.by.Liz again! We worked together a couple years ago and I’m glad to be designing for her again! Check out her Etsy shop. How amazing are those clocks??
Currently working on a blog design for TOTSUPS.com and her new book series called Charismatic Dogs. To be finalized soon (or possibly now!)
Happy start-of-the-week.
I thought I would share some of my favs lately. Hope your Monday’s rocking.
Is it the color, the letterpress, or the wonderful overall gorgeous design? You decide.
Everything about this blog is great. I’d say, it’s something to write home about.
If I could hand pick my handwriting, I’d choose this style.
I want to frame this piece.
It’s not often that you find a bookcase that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
I don’t often get excited for “unveilings” but I’ve been pretty stoked about this for awhile now.
Make your Monday grand and pass it along.

A favorite excerpt from one of my favorite books. You can take so much from this book, but for some reason this small, small portion always stuck in my head. I guess we’re all fools at some point, right?
Peter: It doesn’t matter much to you, does it?
Katie: What?
Peter: What I’ve been doing
Katie: Oh…yes it does, Peter. No, not too much.
Peter: That’s sweet of you.
Katie: But you see, it’s not what you do that matters really, It’s only you.
Peter: Me what?
Katie: Just you here. Or you in the city. Or you somewhere in the world. I don’t know. Just that.
Peter: You know, you’re a fool. You’re technique is something awful
Katie: My what?
Peter: You’re technique. You can’t tell a man so shamelessly, like that, that you’re practically crazy about him.
Katie: But I am.
Peter: But you can’t say so. Men won’t care for you.
Katie: But I don’t want men to care for me.
Peter: You want me to, don’t you?
Katie: But you do, don’t you.
Peter: I do.

I stopped painting about 4 months ago and it wasn’t until now that I could bring myself to admit why. When I design, I have a purpose. I’m trying to communicate something, I’m trying to get someone’s attention, I’m trying to create something completely new. I’m not always successful in that, but I definitely try. When I painted, I didn’t have a purpose. I was simply aiming at achieving a visual masterpiece.
I’m a girl who likes routine so I thought I’d dedicate my Wednesday posts toward some handmade artists that I admire. Featured today is the shop Wunderlust. I’ve had this shop favorited for about a year and their work really intrigues me. I respect artists who work in different mediums that inspire me in the work that I create. Way to go, Wunderlust!
This is my desk. But I’m not going to lie to you and tell you that this is where I create. Most of the time, you can find me designing while sitting on the couch, laying on the bed, or sitting at the dining room table. WHY don’t I just sit here? Someone please tell me.
