Friday Favorite
We are big fans of bold graphics & literary classics. So when I stumbled across BabyLit® new series of children's books I could hardly contain my excitement!
Our Friday favorite goes to none other than author & University of Washington grad, Jennifer Adams. Jennifer received her degree in English literature in my beloved Emerald City. We are a big fans of her work & gift her products any chance we get.
These mini masterpieces paired with the colorful imagination of Sugar illustrator & designer, Allison Oliver is a must have for any little person in your life. I can't think of a better way to introduce literary classics to young gazers & readers.
The BabyLit® series includes: Alice in Wonderland, Jane Eyre, Romeo and Juliet, and Pride and Prejudice. All copies listed above adorn the shelves of my daughter's library.
These books have quickly become everyday favorites!

Auld Lang Syne
Crossing off another calendar year is a time for reflection. A chance to reorganize, prioritize and give thanks. I am anxiously awaiting the stroke of midnight, to welcome 2012 & bid farewell to 2011. The past twelve months have been rich with transition & patience learned. My New Years resolution is to dedicate more design time to personal projects.
Eleven highlights of Twenty-Eleven: In no particular order.
1. Moved to Locust Point, Maryland
2. Toured Washington, DC
3. Spent my 31st birthday in NYC
4. Colin Cowie highlighted & featured our Visage design
5. Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine featured our Onesie design
6. December 2011 marked our highest selling holiday to date!
7. Ava enrolled in her 1st team sport (soccer) The Shooting Stars
8. Moved back to Washington State
9. Legally change last name
10. Tattooed forearm
11. Top 2 apps of 2011: Spotify & Instagram
I have so much to be thankful for! These eleven highlights are just the tip of the iceberg that was 2011. Wishing you & yours a happy, healthy & joyous New Year! xo!

Gifts That Give Back!
Throughout the year my husband & I encourage our daughter to participate in activities that promote her self-awareness, as well as compassion. This year we gave Ava the option of selecting from 3 charities to endorse & she choose, Same Sky. An organization that provides employment to HIV-positive women in Rwanda struggling to lift themselves out of poverty. These bracelets are naturally dyed with Rwandan textiles & adorably adorned with hand-blown glass beads. Ava intends to on gifting these bracelets as tokens of friendship. I couldn't be more impressed with her sincerity or sense of style! ♥

DIY: personalized sneakers
Get inspired:
The shoes above were inspired by Gauguin’s paintings in Tahiti and ikat textiles from Uzbekistan. Check out the V&A museum for more ideas.
Design:
Keep it simple! The shoes have lots of nooks and crannies, and the rough canvas makes detail nearly impossible. Take into consideration the lines of the shoes and consider how your design will fit in with the stitch lines, piping and lace holes.
Color:
Use Prismacolor markers, and buy extra since they run out really fast! You’ll have to go over your pattern multiple times to get saturated colors.
Add texture:
In keeping with your inspiration, find sew-on beads, rhinestones, prong-set studs, etc. (don’t bother with stuff you have to glue). Changing the laces to a unique trim also helps add a custom touch. Each kid’s sneaker takes 1 to 1.3 yards per shoe, and you can find lots of trims and things here.
In love with these one-of-a-kind shoes? This pair and others are available at the Crewcuts University Village store.
Big thanks to J.Crew Crewcuts for the amazing tips & tricks for our little ones kicks! xo

Sesame Street Beats
My husband & I believe that creating a rich sensory environment will positively influence Ava's development & love of music. In our home impromptu dance parties happen often & everyone's invited! She recently created her own Spotify playlist with my help, affectionately titled after her nickname "Tink". Below are a couple of her favorite videos from Sesame Street courtesy of Hulu.
Share & enjoy!
