Owl and Pussycat Print

A new print is in the shop, which means I am on track with goals #2 and #5 for 2011. And another new design will be unveiled in a few days (hopefully).

Best get in some work time before bed!

Limited Edition Scarves in the Shop

Just a quick post to say these scarves are available in my shop. Only a handful of these will be made, so you'll be a lucky cat if you get your paws on one.

Hi Kitty Scarf

Love Cats Scarf

Moderncat Feature

I was literally doing a happy dance yesterday after finding out that I was featured on Moderncat! It was a lovely surprise (and ego boost) after a rather lacklustre start to the new year, at least in my etsy shop. Thank you to all who stopped by my shop because of the press. And a big thank you to Kate, aka Ms. Moderncat.

Mustache Monday

I'm loving this fantastic treasury that this tee is in, put together by this lovely gal.

Been working away on a new print that will hopefully hit the shop by the end of the week. And I will be listing some new items before the end of the day.

Happy (Mustache) Monday to you!

11 and 1

my awesome new planner

Before January turns into February, here are 11 Goals for 2011:

1. Update my blog at least once a week.

2. List a new item in my etsy shop at least once a month.

3. Get some printed press.

4. Drink more water.

5. Make at least one new painting/illustration/design a month.

6. Enroll in a mom and baby class and/or get Whitney into a playgroup.

7. Dress up at least once a week.

8. Date night with Matt once a week.

9. Reconnect with friends, meeting with at least one friend once a month.

10. More belly rubs and chin scratches for Suki and Dex.

11. Grow my business.

And Whitney turned 1 today.

(pardon the terrible blurry photo)

We enjoyed a low-key day together, skyping with family, and eating cake.

Yum!

Too Funny Not to Share

the picture we're referring to

Our conversation as we're getting Whitney ready for bed tonight (slightly paraphrased):

Matt: So we should hang the picture above the dresser.
Me: Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Matt: There's definitely studs in this wall. I'm not sure about this one. (touching other wall)
Me: Did you already check that wall? I thought they (previous owner's) had a picture up on that wall.
Matt: Yeah, but that was pretty iffy. (banging on wall and the sound of falling rubble) I think it's hollow. Did you hear that?
Me: Yeah. (eyebrows frowning) Above the dresser is definitely the safest place for the picture.
Matt: Well, as long as you find where the studs are, that's the safest place to hang something... That's why you feel so safe with me, cuz I'm a stud.
Me: (on the floor, dying of laughter)

Whitney: waah!

Night night :)

It's a New Year!

And Whitney will be a year old in one week.
Man, did 2010 flew by!

Hope your 2011 is off to a great start. One of my goals this year is to update my blog at least once a week, even if it's just with a photo and a short blurb. So yay for staying on track thus far.

I'll be back to share more of my goals soon. Whitney just woke from her nap, so gotta go.
