Expecting Silhouettes

I had an ultrasound today to make sure Baby Boy Armstrong is all set to go when the time comes. You can see his little face and hand silhouette here. Cute, huh :)



Speaking of silhouettes, I made this print to hang in his room-- "Dude" (as my father-in-law affectionately calls him til he learns the real name) and me at 37 weeks. And I've added it to the shop as a customizable print. If you or any friends have a baby on the way, consider a silhouette print as a great way to remember these days long after the frequent nightly bathroom breaks and endearing comments like "Man, you're huge!" and "Woa, that looks uncomfortable!"

RELEVANT!!

Hey guys! So the new online store I've been eluding to that is now selling my prints is RELEVANT magazine. If you don't know RELEVANT, I highly recommend it. I've been a fan for several years and I'm totally honored to be in their online store. My prints can be found on the RELEVANT Store banner this week and for sale in the "Art"--> "digital prints" section. I'd love for RELEVANT to continue to carry my work and I hope to do more "RELEVANT only" prints. So if you like any of those prints, especially the two "RELEVANT only" prints, I'd really appreciate the support!

I'm currently looking for other shops/boutiques to carry my work on consignment so if you happen to know of any, let me know!

Guess the Birth Date!!

Correctly guess the birth date of my soon-to-be-born son and win a free print of your choice from my shop! Just leave your guess in a comment on this post. If more than one person guesses the correct day, I will draw one name. Vote til Feb. 8th! Make sure to include your email address before you publish your guess! ( I will not contact you unless you're the winner so don't worry about a sudden flood of forwards in your mailbox.)

FYI-- The due date is February 13th, this is my second child, and my first was 4 days late. : )

New Prints

Here's the other print I just finished that will only be available through one of the new online stores soon-to-be carrying my work. I'm finishing up all the printing today so they should be online next week : )

And now available in my Etsy store is this "Clothes Line" Print Set--3 5x7 prints you can frame individually and arrange in whatever order you'd like.


Stop by and check it out! Don't forget the Valentine's Day card either. If you'd like one, it's best to order now in case I happen to go into labor a bit early (due on 2/13) : )

A Little DIY Project

My mom got this lamp for me in college when all my decorating was influenced by my summer in Japan and my plans to go back there (which I did, for 2 1/2 years--very cool). But the paper had yellowed, the flowers cracked, and it was just a little too Japanese for our current design scheme. So with a sharpie, some marker paper, and some double stick tape, I did a quick re-design. Let me know what you think : )

Some Melodious Sonnet

This is one of the prints that will soon be exclusively available in one of the online stores that will be carrying my work. Keep checking back to find out what stores and when! : )

Princess Party

Hudson attended his first princess party for this little friend's 2nd birthday this past weekend.


And no princess party would be complete without the dashing young fireman to put out those dragon fires.

Also, just added this card to the shop for Valentine's Day. Say "I love you" with an original card this year : )
