New embroidery pattern: A for Alligator and Albatross

Finished a new embroidery pattern and listed it up in the store. Woo hoo! It's a little Alligator and his two friend Albatrosses (for the letter "A" obviously).

Artist: The Mincing Mockingbird

These bird paintings and prints from The Mincing Mockingbird are absolutely gorgeous. I love how traditionally painted the birds look but in modern compositions. Check out more in their etsy store and blog. And if you're headed to this year's National Stationery Show in NYC you can check them out there too.

Artist: Isabelle Arsenault

I saw the illustration work of Isabelle Arsenault today via Illustration Mundo and just fell in love with all of it. Beautiful! See more on her website.

Artist: Noodle & Meatball

These shirts are so darling! They are made by sisters Autumn and Erin for their company, Noodle & Meatball. What a cute name! Check out many more lovely shirts on their website here.

Artist: Stefanie Beyeler

These paintings by Stefanie Beyeler made me smile today. My father-in-law's favorite animal at the zoo is the tapir so I'm pretty sure these would make him smile too. Check out more of Stefanie's work in her etsy store and on her website.

My little lion was on Pecannoot!

Yay! My little gold lion was on the Pecannoot blog yesterday. Pecannoot is a new blog started by the wonderful Jess Gonacha and was made to showcase works of "abundance." Basically things to uplift you and make you smile. Fun! It's the perfect blog to go to for some morning inspiration. The third and fourth images here were designed by Jess, and the last image was made by the lovely Gemma Correll.
