Gwen Frostic
Have you ever heard of Gwen Frostic? I fell in love with her work after reading a feature article in the March 2005 Martha Stewart Living magazine.
The last time we were in the US I was really excited to find a lovely bird-themed
block print Note Card set at Anthropologie. Aren't they enchanting?
I feel inspired to make a four color block print of my own...

For you
I made a line drawing of the birdie I used for the Linen Tea Towel as a little gift for you.
Click here to see it BIGGER, download it, print it and enjoy!
I'd love to see it when you're done, so don't forget to take a picture of it.
I added a flower just because :)

Embroidered Tea Towel
It was fun to use needle and thread again, I hadn't done it in a while.
I used chain stitch. It's my favorite stitch to "draw" on fabric.
I got the pretty linen tea towel at Manos.

Magnolias
I created this digital collage using some drawings I made yesterday,
while fascinated by the beauty of these amazing, big, bold flowers.
I scanned & isolated the line drawings in the computer,
placed them on a digital background and played around a little :)
I've found numerous little shops @ Etsy where you can purchase
digital backgrounds & vintage images. You can go take a peek by clicking here
Thank you for your sweet words on the passing of my mom's beloved kitty.
She was very moved by your kindness :)

Marcelita
My mom's 12 year old beautiful kitty passed away today. So sad...
specially because it happened at such a sad time in Chile
with of the earthquake and tsunamis.
My mom, brother & family members are all well
and suffered no harm or loss of any kind, thank the Lord.
My friend Elsita Mora has a niece that needs a helping hand in Chile.

¡Fuerza, Chile!

Snippets
Random snippets from home.
My very comfy bed with the "birdalope" linen pillow that Urban Outfitters
made last year (it sold out and is no longer available)
& the vintage Dutch (thanks Liz!) school map I just got
from Three Potato Four that I absolutely love.
