I've been working on some illustrations for kids t-shirts. Not sure if the project is going to go through or not so I figured I would just post them now so they're not collecting proverbial dust on my hard drive. Have a look!

Supermarket Sarah Wall
Check out the wall I did for Supermarket Sarah! I wanted to make all new things and just have fun with it. Go have a look! All of the prices are in British pounds but it's nothing a little google search can't clear up if you live in the good old (actually not so old) USA.
Women's button down with a sweet triangle pattern:
Moon Crater Skirt:
Colorful Mini duffles with wooden bead pull:
Zipper Pull Detail:
Granny Cat Sweatshirt in Mint
Navy/Aqua Briefcase Tote:
Coral/Jade Briefcase Tote:
Love this one:
Backpack with clear vinyl pockets that hold vintage tickets!
The pockets are open so you can take out the tickets to wash the bag or put any long object in the slots; paintbrushes, jumbo pencils, dowels, you name it!
It also comes with a mini pouch for change or whatever you like!

New Colors for Waterproof Pencil Pouch
For the longest time I have been making these teeny 7" x 4" zip pencil pouches and selling them on etsy but I only had the one picture of the royal blue pouch in the listing. I had all of the other color options but since the only one I showed was the royal blue people pretty much just got that one or they didn't read the description at all and just figured that was they one that was for sale. I made them to order so I never had more than one to photograph together for the listing to show options.
Well I recently got even MORE amazing colors that I had to extend to the zipper pouch listing so I decided to just make a bunch to actually show peeps how cool they look in other colors too!
Above the pouches are pictured in (top to bottom) berry, mint, royal, and coral. I can't even pick a fave they all look so good in person and you can use them for pretty much anything: pens/pencils, embroidery thread, money/change, business cards, washi tape, sewing kit supplies, and the list goes on!
Shown above is the original pouch! I also cut mini swatches of each color and lined them up so it was easier to see the difference instead of just listing the colors and having a picture of only the older ones. Now it's much clearer, finally!
I'm also selling some of the fabrics (13 total) by the yard on my Etsy as well if you are itching to make something rad for yourself with these crazy cool waterproof coated nylon fabrics.
Buy some fabric and show me your cool projects! Maybe I'll do a poncho-along... That would be fun!

Custom Bedford Bag, Kickstarter Reward
If you can think way back to last year when I did my Kickstarter, seems so long ago, right? One of the backer reqards was a custom color Bedford bag which came along with many other goodies. I sent the last of the rewards out a little while ago but wanted to show one of the custom bags I made: purple and teal with a matching wallet and hand embroidered keychain.
The hand embroidered keychain: 3D glasses
Finished!

New Embroidered Patches
Finally got around to making some new illustrations for embroidered patches. The top three were made as a nod to boy scout/girl scout patches as acknowledgement of learning a new skill/completing a project. Shades of a Feather, Camping Cabins, and Plaid Shirt! Bear Friend Society is just a fun one and Camera Crew is pretty straight forward. The neon mountains patch is featured on the vintage style blue linen 5 panel hat and is now available for sale by itself. The others are some of the older designs, all now available on Mokuyobi Threads and in the Etsy shop.
All Patches
Award Badges
I ironed the three achievement badges on a ranger-y button down short sleeve shirt and when I wear it I look like I legit work at a forest preserve, the coolest forest preserve ever, obviously.

Teeny loves all of the patches, she just can't bear to pick a favorite!

New Studio: Tour
Well things have been pretty crazy around here for a while. I was planning on posting some photos of the new studio shortly after we moved in on Feb 2nd but clearly that didn't happen. So here we are a few new pieces of furniture and a whole lot of organization later, quite an improvement from the last place as far as space goes. It's a converted warehouse building turned apartments with a whopping 1300 square feet located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Have a look around!
Teeny totally sneaking in this shot.
Still have some posters to hang, oops.
Remember these paintings?
Knick knacks and supplies
Treasures!

Handmade Cards for the Win
With summer comes LOTS of important holidays. My good friend Dustin's birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and my Mom's birthday. I try to make a special card for all of them (If I can get a free minute). This year I totally rocked it on the DIY cards using a big spread of crafty supplies: tissue paper, embroidery thread, watercolors & washi tape. Some of which I even got to deliver in person which was exciting since I don't always see my family on these special days.
Remember that DIY pouf tutorial I did a little bit ago? Well I thought it would go great inside a card as a tissue paper surprise!
Magic!!
The first card of its kind! (I think, maybe)
Embroidered paper card! You can get really detailed with it but it can be quite time consuming.
A simple design can be really great too!
This was the card for my mom's birthday present. I drew a feather with a felt tip pen, cut it out, and then used watercolors to give the feather some pizzaz!
I wrapped the present in some brown craft paper and secured it with neon green washi tape. Then I tied the card to the present with some hot pink rope.

And last but not least a television Father's day card I made with cardstock, felt tip pens, and washi tape. So simple but so fun! Definitely a winner.
