A huge, huge thank you to Jenny over at LMNOP for featuring my work in the current issue. It is a wonderful issue full of so many great finds and I am very flattered to be a part of it! I had a lot of fun working on the editors portrait below
my portraits and wallpaper panel art were also featured!

Yesterday we did a little welcome picture on our chalkboard in preparation for our kindergarten teacher visit. Body prints were made and decorated.
dog body prints, not so easy to capture…
though the same can also be said for little boys…
to project nursery for featuring my wallpaper panel art today! If you go take a peek, you will notice a discout code I am offering for 10% off any purchase.
after several days of heat wave, we awoke this morning to a wonderful thunderstorm. Oh how I’ve missed the rain.
I just added a few new prints to the shop. I am hoping to add several more sometime next week, also.
happy weekend!
I’ll say it, I am a fair weather camper. Luckily we got some gorgeous weather last weekend up at Timothy Lake on Mt Hood. Here however, we are looking to break 100 over the next few days, blah.
these adorable little wooden families from fellow etsy seller Goose Grease. I am seeing a little family project in our near future. You can also order them customized to match your family (you know how I love portraits!).
…and these little beauties! Found here
So back in the day my bedroom was covered in music posters. Yes, even the the door sized posters. I met my husband at a concert, so a few years ago I gave him some beautiful hand screend posters of some of our favorite bands. I am tempted to add to our collection with these…
available at the small stakes (via oh joy.)
see you next week!

My son is at science camp this week and he came home with this little project the other day. If you need an easy little craft this fits the bill. All you need are toothpicks and some gummy candies. Then let them at it…My hubby saw it and said ‘so it’s tinkertoys with candy?’ Well…yes, you got a problem with that?:)
We’re trying to stay cool today. I loved how my girl accessorized her summer dress with a butterfly belt.
I was having so much fun with this new piece I thought I would offer it as a print in several colors. It is now available in brown, blue and orange here!
Bremen Town Musicians by the brothers Grimm was the inspiration for this new piece. These will be available on my website for purchase in several colorways this weekend, but for now you can find it here.
I think we’re going to head town to the river tomorrow and witness this…
flugtag!
The kids built dioramas yesterday. It was a fun and easy project. We used a couple of shoe boxes, they drew the background, added some trees from the local craft store and our yard and put in some toys from around the house.
taping up my latest work on our chalkboard entry hall…
Every summer we set up a projector and watch movies in the backyard.
With the sun now going down a bit sooner, our theater will be kicking into high gear, can’t wait.
I hadn’t used my holga camera for a few years, four actually. But I took it with us recently on vacation and am really impressed with the results. I only wish I had brought more film. It’s pretty amazing what you can capture with a plastic camera…
(this one was an accident, but a fun one)
Today we went downtown to the Oregon Historical Society to see the exhibit of Michael Curry’s puppetry. His work is probably best known for the Broadway show The Lion King. I highly recommend heading down to see it if you are in the Portland area. You are allowed to touch and actually work some of the pieces so it’s especially fun for the kids.
It also got me thinking of this video I saw some time back of Royal de Luxe performance of The Sultan’s Elephant . I’ve seen it many times and still brings me chills. Really, if you haven’t seen it, you must go watch it now. You will be so glad you did.
