Why this blog is (and I quote) "snoozeville"

February brought me a very lovely Christmas gift in the form of an online Illustrator course (thank you, Mallory) and I have been spending most of my free time practicing and studying. I'm including below a few of the things I've been working on, but they're not going to be very impressive. These are just brief homework assignments I was given. I have really enjoyed this course and am excited to continue working in Illustrator.

Note to overly excited family members:
This is NOT the name we have decided on for the baby. This is just a fake invitation.

The project

Scott and bravely purchased $1 chairs from a thrift store and made an attempt at painting and recovering them. We're pretty happy with the results. I don't have a before picture, but they were hideous.

A lesson in being a mom and cleanliness

If you use the same knife to cut cheese for your child's snack that you used to cut a raw onion, your child will not eat the cheese. And perhaps never will again.
