This is the newest video by sweet lullaby duo Lullatone. I love watching this video! I love kaleidoscopes! So pretty.

I made two new prints to add to the collection of spring prints I've been working on. They are both of two of my favorite things, and two of the things I miss most when it's winter.
I decided to try printing on the watercolour stock that I've been using for the past few years, and I love the way they printed up.
Oh yeah, and thanks again to Celine, who posted about the prints she'd already gotten the other day, on her blog yesterday!

I'm working on two new prints today! They could be a set, or separate, but they both look like spring. I'll post them first thing tomorrow morning.
In the meantime, here's a sweet music video to hold you over. It's by Swedish band Hold Your Horses!.

I've been collecting children's books for quite a while now. I have a great collection of some of my favorite Little Golden Books from when I was very young on our bookshelf at home. I also found a couple of these Junior Deluxe Editions, printed in the 1950's, at a local thrift store a while back. But a couple of days ago I stumbled on a Flickr photo set posted by Scott Lindberg, (who's also admin for a Flickr group featuring their favorite covers from the classic book series), full of some of the most beautiful book covers I've ever seen.
I can't seem to find any information on the designer of the covers of the books; only the inside illustrations are attributed. If anyone has any information regarding the cover design, email me! I'd love to hear about it.
Here are some of my favorites.

I've been a little AWOL the last week. I've had a few things on the go, including a new print design and possibly a new spring fabric design.
I got an email from Celine a couple of days ago to tell me that she'd spotted a post on the ReadyMade blog of a photo she'd taken of herself in the thrummed mittens I made for her! These particular ones are made from scratch, but they give a tutorial showing how to make "after-thought" thrummed mittens by stringing roving through an already knit pair of mittens in alternating stitches. Neat idea! I may have to try this with some of my older, not-so-warm mittens!
I'll have some illustrations that I worked on a while ago to post here in the next week or so. They're the set of six illustrations that I did for New York Magazine's Weddings Spring/Summer 2010 issue. It'll be on newsstands shortly!
