Bits & Things

Little tidbits from my internships... I am indeed working.

So Sad

Sorry Guys. You tried. And then I hear a glimmer of Queen "But life still goes on..." instead of "we are the champions."

Mouse

Dear Mouse,

You are super cute and chubby. But the way that you jump out at me all the time does not make me like you so much. Let us talk about today, and how I opened the pantry and you freakishly leaped at my pants in search of a hiding place. The bouncing towards me thing is just not right. You've got to go. I'm sorry.

PS thanks google image search for making me feel horrid.

Interiors

I wanted to be an interior designer for about a year of my life. I'm glad that I didn't for many reasons. However, I will always miss amazing wallpaper. List: a John Bessler Photograph, Ribbon as wallpaper by Studio Ditte, and the amazing patterns from Designers Guild

A Single Man

I saw A Single Man last night. It will probably be one of the best movies I'll see all year. All I can say is "oh my god it's gorgeous," which is lame but there is no way to describe it. Oh Tom Ford. Oh the 60's. I want orange trees in my house.

snowflakes

This season's cards. First designed by the lovely Ally Haigh. Second from my aunt who's hair stylist has some pretty neat illustrations: Simply Simkin. I hope everyone's holidays were fantastic. Thanks for the awesome gifts. Top of this year is the long awaited light box I've been in great need of.

Patterns

From my grandparents farm. New patterns come and go, but these will always be classic Foust.

Primary Needs

New Christmas List. Maybe too Late. Matt & Nat Bags, Ige Mobil Owl, Miller Goodman

Toys and Things

The family that I nanny for has some pretty sweet toys. The girls play-kitchen is stocked with many wooden pieces of food that velcro together so you can "cut" it (top image). They are from Nest Organics. It's all so delicious.
Another favorite, Ink and Wit Everything Counts Poster. I've seen her stuff around before, never gets old.

Some More

The rest of my Hamilton photo's from the Wayzgoose Event. Bottom Typeface by Mathew Carter.

Sassy Letters

If you love typography or design or printing or anything good and wonderful you need to go to Hamilton Wood Type Museum. This was my second trip and there is so many little treasures that no matter how long you spend there you will always find something you didn't see the first time.

A little sea air

A refreshing vacation. Ray and I spent last weekend at Hamilton Wood Type Museum. We took a break by Lake Michigan to grab some shells and bones. The Hamilton pictures will come soon.

Working

What am I doing. I don't know. Here's some stuff. I don't know. Am I even designing anymore.. If that means anything. hmph.

Nanny

One of my many new jobs. I introduced them to photobooth. They didn't quite understand at first. Now I can't get them away. Plus some awesome drawings from Jesus, my student that I mentor on Thursdays.
