label me.

My woven labels finally arrived. Very exciting.

focal point.

For years now, AJ has gotten used to (put up with) me constantly taking his picture. He was often the subject of my college photography projects, and as my photography obsession continued to grow, so did the photos of him...all of which he really doesn't care for.

So when our Adelaene came around, my focal point switched and he was glad to pass on the lens to bare. She too has got used to (put up with) a camera constantly in her face snapping picture after picture. During her first year, I took over 9,000 pictures and in fact by 18 months she says "cheese" when she sees me pick up a camera. I take so many pictures of her, that I often forget about taking pictures of my original focal point...the person who is so easy to capture in his raw, honest state and who I could never truly have enough pictures of.

Bag Preparation.

I spent last night sorting through my fabric collection and preparing to make some new bags. As I cut out the pieces to construct the bags, I placed all the fabric remains in a pile. By the end of the night, a colorful fabric mountain had been created.

Fabric for eight bags have been cut and await to be sewn....

Strawberries and Cream.

Laeney('s mommy) spent last night making thank you cards for all the thoughtful folks who thought of her on Easter! The Easter Bunny was quite busy showering this little girl with gifts this year! 

Happy Easter

Solace Interior Design

 

I was fortunate enough to work on a great project for a fantastic Twin Cities interior design company, Solace Design www.solace-design.com. I was asked to design their logo, business cards, and brochure about a year ago. Through feedback and collaboration with the designers vision, the look of solace was created in their marketing materials, transforming that image to their clients. 

I just re-printed some of their tri-fold brochures last week, so I thought I would post some photos of the brochure.
