Brilliant & Boring

It is come to me recently through sharing with you my path to understanding my calling that I sort of see things a teeny tiny bit black & white. As in, the daily tasks of life mostly fall into two categories: those things that are brilliant! (spending time with the girls, taking photos of the sunset, creating a new bunch of fabric flowers) or boring (cooking dinner, cleaning the fridge, trimming the girls toenails). Right? So, in my new effort to try to weave the creative through all aspects of life, I am doing something new.

I am going to attempt to do at least one thing brilliant AND one thing boring every day. I hope that eventually I'll stop seeing it as only black and white, and it'll all swirl into beautiful shades of grey, but for now, this is my goal.

Would you like to try it with me!? Come here and check in along with me...what have you done that was BRILLIANT today? And how about BORING? Discuss!

Logo Love

I'm so excited to have the opportunity to design a logo for a friend and fabulous photographer, Rachel Closson. An opportunity to design for another artist is really inspiring (not to mention really fun!) And besides Rachel's fabulous design taste, I just love being able to help a small business owner grow and find their personal identity. A realtor, an accountant, even a dentist can own their certain look and leverage it to help them succeed. To reach Rachel, send her an email here.

I hope you're having a lovely weekend! I am whipping up some other lovelies today as well! I have some custom-ordered stationery, and might even whip up some cards for Charm's black Friday sale. Thinking about getting out the old calligraphy pen! What are you doing this weekend? Putting those creative minds to work? Do tell!

Art class today!

Check out the outfit Gracie picked out for her first day of art class at the Nelson! Don't tell me this girl isn't an artist in the making? Now, I am a proud mama of course but I have to say, she's got the art genes. She's fiesty and creative, her drawings aren't too shabby, and now she's off to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and nothing's going to stop her!
