Just finished creating a little thank you package of cards for some friends. A set of little Yorkies with a very girly shitsu inspired thank you card. All wrapped up in a lovely kraft box with some paper I designed back in April.
In the background is an awesome little vintage bedspread I found with pom pom fringe. it really cheers me up when I’m working.
I have become a complete “glamper”.
That is, I like camping as long as it’s hot, with a clean lake that I can swim in, and there are clean showers, restrooms, and nearby stores, wineries and restaurants to visit should I need a magazine, a bottle of wine, or toenail polish. All this equals C H E L A N!
I wasn’t going to go this year. Elliott had a guys camping trip planned,but his camp buddy backed out and I was left to pick up the pieces. We persuaded our friends “the Talls” to join us for a day or two.
We normally go with a variety of friends, and have downgraded in the past few years to either skipping altogether, or now camping, which ends up being pretty awesome as you’ll see below!
An awesome sign in CleElum. A stopping point between Seattle and Chelan.
Beautiful view from one of our favorite wineries in Chelan, Nefarious.
This funny dog waits for you to come back to your car, then steals snuggles,pets and anything it can grab from your car while the door is open!
View from our campsite.
Yellow moments. Love the tab camper!
Awesome black beans in skillet!
afternoon banter, Kolina in tow.
The cutest little muskrat along the front of our campsite. A pet toad this little one found and kept overnight, and a visit from a pack of Yorkies.
After a day of boating, we end up at Tsillan Cellars for the incredible view and live music.
All in all a really wonderful last minute camping trip!
I’ve been working away at several designs these past few months. I just love them!

My summer garden is coming along just wonderfully! It looks like the sumac tree may be a bit aggressive though, it looks like it’s taking over!
Here are some close ups of lovely blooms I collected and other lovely flowers I’ve planted.
I had a chance to make it out to NYC this year! I made it a point to make it out to ABC Home, which I enjoy thoroughly!
Here are a few pix:

After months of creating these little darlings, I’ve begun to put together my Etsy site. Of course it lands in the middle of recreating my blog, starting a part time job, creating collections for Surtex, getting ready for New York etc., etc.!
Here is a sneak peak at some of the adorable pieces I’ve created for the site:
Inspired by my little ones, these just make my heart melt! All my friends with little dogs and big dogs and, er…elephants, are getting a kick out of them! Most will be available as prints, printed on an Epson 3880 on kraft paper, hand embellished with small glitter accents. Coming soon afterwards card-sets!
Stay tuned!

This looks so great in an ikea frame! print size 5x7
Julie lives around the corner from us in the most amazing little mint green house with yellow trim and lavender stairs…Her yard is a lot and a half and she is renowned for her annual plant sale. We thought we had missed it when we noticed our neighbors Jay and Wayne coming home with loads of plants from her sale!
After gathering the puppies together, Elliott and I walked over to choose our plants. We came away with a box of succulents, some artisan bread and a weekend of gardening ahead of us!
Check out the Olympic Mountains! It was a perfect day, with incredible weather!
I just can’t wait for something pink in my home! I have plenty of pink flowers, but I’m waiting for the perfect pink “something” to add to my decor!

I just love it when Spring is in the Air! I check my garden for growth progress every day and it seems to take forever for my tulips to bloom!
But bloom they do and I enjoy every minute they’re around!
A few years ago I begged my husband to help me clear out the front yard so I can have a cut flower garden. It was formerly all capped evergreens, not so pretty! Now it yields the most lovely flowers! I l o v e having them ready for a fresh bouquet for a dinner party, bbq or birthday! These are some of my lovelies from Easter.
Easter brunch…d-lish!
An adorable little terrarium I created with some moss and clover from my front yard. I got the idea of course from Design Sponge, but only followed the concept of taking things from my yard.
I kept eyeballing this round little ball of moss and thinking how perfect it would be for this project. Add candy Easter eggs and VOIlA! Lovely centerpiece!
Some fabulous breakfast food accompanying my bacon….
Finally, I keep my flowers long after they should be released to the compost bin. I just love the way they look when they are faded. My husband always shakes his head and wonders what’s wrong with me!
