You can do it!

I love this illustration by Helen Dardik which you can buy from her Etsy shop. On her blog she says "I'm trying to get back into shape I've never been in:) ....so I made this print to encourage me... and maybe you too! Of course... I could have spent that time exercising - but making prints is a lot 'funner':)"

Mid-century inspired textile pattern design contest

Ummmm, yah! This looks like a lot of fun. I might have to start working on a few new patterns and enter something. Click here for details.

Mod Melamine Dishes

When I placed my last order of CHILDishes, I ordered 2 dishes with my mod patterns on them. They turned out really well! It's so cool to see my patterns on dishes, lots of fun. I will list these on my Etsy shop once I get some decent photos of them. I will also be ordering more designs just for fun.


Manifesto

I came across this manifesto on Twitter (told you there was a lot of good stuff out there). I will be printing this off and hanging it up next to my computer so I can read it everyday. If you would like your own free printable version, visit Build a Little Biz.

CHILDishes

Carlin, the photographer who took photos for the CHILDish website, took some super cute photos of her children with their faceplates.

Twitter

 
I haven't been around my blog these last few weeks because I have been sucked into a new and exciting world, Twitter. My oh so very smart friend Lori asked me if I was on Twitter. I told her I had signed up a few years ago to follow Donnie Wahlberg (NKOTB) but hadn't really used it much. She suggested I give it a try again and I am sure happy I did!!

Lori passed on a few blog posts about Twitter, Scoutie Girl Using Twitter Effectively and Havi Brooks Twitter Debunked  I now understand the world of Twitter! I am being introduced to new and exciting people, articles and products. I also get to follow Donnie Wahlberg's every move and that's icing on the cake!
