Cozy for Kiddies

February 17, 2012

My favourite thing to pin is kids rooms and nurseries. I would probably decorate my whole house like a kid's room if I could (my boyfriend would probably have something to say about that--haha.) They are so cheerful, cozy and full of imaginative things. Take a look at my Pinterest board for more inspiration. Have fun and unleash your inner child!

So, I mentioned before that I love Pinterest. It's such a great resource for collecting ideas. For fun, I decided to put together a few of my favourites non-crafting related items. I have a weak spot for dresses, even though I never wear them. If you'd like to know the source of these images, click on the button above and it will take you right to it!

Enjoy ♥

This colour is just yummy.

Cats eye makeup is always pretty.

My favourite colour

I heart shoes with ankle straps.

The cut of this dress is so flattering. I like the graphic print of the birds all over it.

This dress is just gorgeous. I love the bright vintage pattern and the red lace

Okay. I had to add something cute in here. Aren't these adorable?? I love the little ears!

If you haven't already, sign up for Pinterest and make your own boards of the things you love!

Oh Pinterest. What a wonderful resource and invention. What an addiction! Living in a little beige- unpaintable apartment- Pinterest is the outlet for my inner interior designer. I can't wait to decorate even a little bit! Right now everything fits and looks fine--- but I dislike looking after black furniture. Dust is my nemesis and it's a constant battle to keep everything clean. Next time we do any furniture shopping-- it'll be white or the lightest wood possible.

Here are a few of my favourites. You can find the links to all these images by clicking on the pinterest button halfway down the page on the left hand side.

Behind the Scenes

Revamped and released!

So, I’ve dreamt about illustrating stationery for almost as long as I can remember. I can’t count the number of times someone has said, “Hey, you should make greeting cards! People would buy these!” Now you can! And even more exciting — they actually have!

Instagram for Introverts

Taking this photo was a big deal for me. It sounds incredibly silly, but as an introvert, I find it super hard to just “be” in public. I’m working on coming out of my shell, owning my space in public, and working in places like coffee shops. Here, oddly enough, my imaginary audience is helpful – spurring me on to actually get working, and not to scroll through social media feeds. I sit on the bar – computer facing inwards for ultimate accountability.

What is art?

I pushed myself out of my comfort zone last night. I sat in a hall, surrounded by creatives at a local creative entrepreneur event in Victoria, BC. Why would that be out of your comfort zone, you ask? Wouldn’t you be right at home, and among “your people?” The answer is - I don’t know. If you’re looking for conclusions, read no further. All that follows are the strange thoughts and feelings provoked by attending such an event.

Here we go again

Well, here we are over a year later -- a year wiser. Last year was hectic to say the least -- even though they were all happy things (got married, threw a wedding party, and bought a condo in my dream neighbourhood) it left very little time for anything creative. Now things have settled down, I’ve settled down, and had a chance to look around and figure out how to fit Teacups and Spectacles into my life.
