Yippee! I finally added the Raccoon and Pirate Kitty designs to the baby one-pieces and the kid’s tees! Also, I now offer the one-pieces in 3 different sizes: 3-6 months (NEW!), 6-12 months, and 12-18 months. A lot of you asked for the 3-6 month size so there you go :) I am also working on two new textile designs that I will be adding to the collection. They are very useful items so I can’t wait to get them all designed and screenprinted!
Oh, by the way we will be a vendor at the upcoming Unique LA Local Love show at the California Market Center on February 11 + 12. Need to get some goodies for Valentine’s Day or just do a little shopping? Come check out the event!

For today’s Snapshots installment I thought I’d get some shots of my packaging, tags, and the little items that make preparing orders even more fun. Maybe you’ll even get a little inspiration! I adore the simplicity of Kraft paper dressed up with baker’s twine and washi tape. How fun is it to start a washi tape collection!? I’m on the hunt for a new roll of the french airmail striped tape that appears in a few of the photos. Sadly, I can’t find this tape anymore and I love it! Well, Happy Friday to you all and I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! I’ll be spending it in the studio screenprinting more baby one-pieces, tees, and a new product that I can’t wait to share soon!!

I have every exciting news! Last night four of my pieces were featured on the hit NBC show Parenthood! My sleuth East coast friends caught the scenes with the product and instantly let me know about it. The show comes on here on the West coast at 10pm so we were able to catch the episode ourselves! I can tell you it was a very surreal feeling to see my work sitting in Erika Christensen’s character Julia’s new nursery, as the walls are being prepped for painting. Let’s hope they get hung soon! If you want to see the episode the prints appear at about 17:30 here. Thank you to everyone who emailed/tweeted/facebooked me about it, you guys are the best!!

I’ve added some 100% hand-screenprined organic kid’s tees to the webshop and to my Etsy shop! If you’ve stopped by my booth at a show before, you’ve seen these tees. I just recently got around to getting them photographed and listed online and I wanted to share! They are available in two sizes, 2T and 4T, and are gender neutral just like the baby bodysuits. I’d also like to add that I will soon be offering the Raccoon and Pirate Kitty designs on both the baby bodysuits and the tees. I’ve gotten a lot of request for those additions and I am happy to oblige. I hope everyone is off to a great week and that you’ve all enjoyed this Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Cesar and I spent the day at the Staples Center in LA watching our LA Clippers team take on and beat the New Jersey Nets. Going to basketball games is one of our favorite things to do together. Have a fantastic week everyone!

I know what you’re thinking…really…already? Trust me, I was saying the same thing when I started designing these, but Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! I’m one of those that scoffs when I see stores putting out holiday decorations just as soon as the prior one ends, but as a product designer I am now in that boat! Well, anyhow I am very excited to share the four new cards I designed for this year’s collection. Red & blue have become two of my favorite colors to combine so I thought it would be a perfect palette for these cards. They’re not too sweet, not too serious, and not super traditional, which is right up my alley. I also had a blast styling the cards for the photoshoot, but quickly learned that I both love and hate glitter all at once. I’ll be finding those little sparkling red dots all over my studio for weeks to come I’m sure of it.
Click each image to see them in the webshop, or you can pick them up on Etsy here. Well, I hope everyone is off to a great Monday! Have a wonderful week!

Drum roll please…..it’s time for another downloadable and printable FREEBIE! I was working on some new Thank You notes for my product packaging and became inspired for this giveaway. I thought that Thank You notes would be perfect for January as most of us will want to send them out in appreciation for receiving gifts over the Holidays. Print one set or print both, there are four designs to choose from!

For this year’s Christmas gifts my goal was to purchase mainly handmade goods. I bought from fellow vendors at craft shows and shopped Etsy to add to the selection. I’m happy to announce that the items were huge hits with everyone and this will certainly be my method of gift-giving for the future! Since I couldn’t share images of them when I bought everything for fear that the recipients might find out, I quickly snapped some photos of them before I wrapping. Here they are below with links to the maker’s shops and websites if you’d like to learn more. A huge thank you to everyone who purchased locally and handmade goods this season. We could not do this without YOU!
