2 years today..

These 2 years have gone by so fast.. and it was just like yesterday that we were married. We are truly thankful for these past 2, and look forward to more fun-filled, exciting life ahead together!

2009 Calendar is here!

I've been working on 2009 calendar.. and it is done! Each design is a decorative frame.. total of 12 frames. I got this inspiration while working on the labels a couple weeks ago. Hope you like it : )

Pistacia Vera

We had our friends getting married here in Columbus on Saturday. In between the ceremony and the reception, we stopped by Pistacia Vera (located on 3rd in German Village).. and I could not resist my temptation of getting some of their beautiful & delicious sweets! The storefront is beautiful, modern and clean design. I'm going to have to try their pumpkin spice mouse next!

Hot off the press!

I've been working on some new designs for tags and labels... and here they are! Please check out my etsy site for more!

animal index

Am I ever be inspired by Japanese designers? Of course! I love unique, clean and modern Japanese designs and I believe there are some amazing designers in Japan. Hiroshi Sasagawa's animal index is such a clever, beautiful and fun design! These animals can definitely make your boring office into a delightful space : )

Country Living Fair '08

Country Living Fair '08, originally uploaded by Paper and Inkling.

Country Living Fair is here in Columbus this weekend! Despite the rain, many country/vintage lovers were at the Ohio Village today. I was there to see one of my favorite fabric designer, Amy Butler. She had a workshop on all the new sawing projects and they were beautiful! I have such a respect for her because she also gets all of her creativity and inspiration right here in Ohio : ) My favorite project was her little Kimono outfit for the baby.. so amazing!

Sewn Paper Cards

I found these cute & creative cards on Etsy site.. moonmum. All of these cards are crafted with paper and fabrics, and sewn of the shape of birds, animals and robots! Simple idea, creative and beautiful.

"eclectic modern" by Joel Dewberry

My friend introduced me to her favorite fabric designer site.. Joel Dewberry. His "eclectic modern" designs are beautiful. His choice of color and pattern make these fabrics the modern vintage style. These fabrics make me want to take out my old sewing machine and create something.. Bohemian style is definitely in!

New designs - Personalized Note Card

These are 2 new designs of the personalized note card sets. I wanted to incorporate "gray" color in my design, and my favorite 2 colors with gray are yellow & purple. I hope everyone will like this design as much as my first note card design.

I'm still learning about Etsy.. it is an amazing site. I love the community you have with Etsy, and it is so helpful to new people like me. I hope to be able to join some of the Etsy team sometime soon!
