I'm not really big on making holiday items because they can't be used any other time of the year. But I do love the holidays! I picked up these papers to make these journals because I thought they were subtle, but had a hink of holiday :)  Plus they were just plain cute.

its done! my new logo is done! i love it! 

About a month or two ago, I contacted Rakel Ingero after seeing some of her previous work (check out her portfolio: www.ingero.com).  She is so friendly and really great to work with.  I wasn't completely sure what I wanted to do, but I knew I didn't want it to be something so obvious, like just a book.  I thought it would be cute to use a small animal like a hedgehog, mouse, or possum.  I decided on the hedgehog after Rakel wisely pointed out that possums are kind of creepy looking :)

I was a little indesisive at times but she totally worked with me.  When I mentioned that I'd like a little color added in somewhere, she added the adorable bird and snail. 

i changed the banner and avatar in my shop too, they're pretty basic looking right now, but I think it makes the banner look nice and clean.  I might do some tweaking later.

tangy sweet

I had a pretty fun weekend.  First on Saturday, one of my best friends and I went downtown to eat at Teaism, our new favorite restaurant, and we went to tangy sweet. If you've never had tangy sweet, pink berry, or mr. yogato, you must go if there is one in your area! It is so good!  My BF and I determined that it kind of tastes like a mix of yogurt and italian ice.  Oh and the fresh fruit!  They don't use that syrupy, mushy fruit as toppings. They have the sweetest strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc! I am so craving some right now!

Anyway, enough about the froyo. I finally sucked it up and bought a gocco, I've been dying to buy one for years, and finally bought one on Ebay and it came this weekend! I bought a used one, but it came with everything, and extra ink.  I spent most of sunday playing with it, its actually a lot of fun. The masters are a lot easier to make than the silkscreens I usually make with photo emulsion, and a lot quicker! But they are definatly harder to clean.

I'm working on getting Saidie back up and running soon, and this time I will be using my original artwork for my silkscreened clothing, as well as a few other printed items. <---- (here's a little peek, coming soon :)

I also made these notebooks this weekend and listed them in my Bound.To etsy shop. I was so excited to get that fab yellow paper in last week!
