My daughter, Siri's, birthday party inspired these adorable felt pennant banners. Here's just two of the banners I have been working on this week. More fun ones to come!
Some fun goodies I've been designing here & there
I have so much enjoyed working on my friend Eneida's re-branding. Her delicious creations make me drool daily. #thefarmbaker #homemadeandhonest #rebranding #rebranded #nonnaiandd
The Cookie Baker • Pop-Up Signage for Anthropology Mother's Day Event
I was lucky enough to have been asked to help with a little sign for the Pop-Up Market at Anthropolgie for The Cookie Baker's Enieda. I had such fun creating it for her. Speaking of, I need to share her revised logo with you & all the other fun items I was able to help her out with! They were are so exciting to do. My next post shall be overwhelming, I promise. Lol!
We said HELLO to baby & GOODBYE to our sweet Chewie
This is the day we got our sweet boy from Wayside waifs in 2003. He was already 4 or 5 years old. Emaciated and only weighing in at 56 lbs. Shacking and petrified at the back of the cage. He melted my heart and I told Ryan he needed us. We brought him home and he swiftly gained weight and got to a healthy 105 lbs! The abuse he went through before making his way to Wayside Waifs never did taint his kind nature. His heart was gold through and through.
Fast forward 14 years, he really without a doubt was the BEST dog anyone could have asked for. We lost Chewie the week before Christmas and it's been so hard to not have him home with me everyday.
I keep remembering all the best things about him. The day we took him to the dog park and he got between a 100 lbs mean dog and a tiny little dog being attacked. He came to the rescue and I was astonished what an amazing kind hearted dog I had. Then, the week we had to put our cat, Butterscotch, down; I caught him in bed with her, touching paws. I know he had to sneak up there and do that all sneaky as my cat would have hated that. He was seriously such a wonderful guy. My heart aches for him on the daily. I am hoping that fades to remembering all the good times without the tears.
I love you, sweet boy. Miss you so much.
A Little Update • Pregnancy, Baby & Returning to Work!
This second pregnancy was easier than the first, yet still not great. Full of feeling sick and having gestational diabetes toward the end of the pregnancy wasn't fun. All-in-all, I am so grateful to have been able to have another baby.
Introducing Theodore Elliot Stobaugh • 9 lbs 4 oz • 20.5” • October 30th 2017 • Finally with Mommy & Daddy safe and sound out of the NICU • Thank you all for the prayers & well wishes • We’re so thankful for our new little addition.
A Little Vintage Floral Full Repeat Pattern • Peach Pinks
I had fun working on this one. This would be a super cute pattern on a quilt square with solid oranges, pinks and peaches. Swoon. Maybe someday I'll do it!
Baby is Due November 7th • Hard at Work!
Walls painted, thanks to my amazing husband, Ryan. White slipcover almost done.
The Mobile was a test of my patience for sure. Trial and error was my method. No wonder the ones on Etsy.com are $120. I made mine myself for $26, thanks to ElaLakeDesign & GracieandMarie on Etsy.com
I was even able to get the shelves up on the wall by myself! Vintage frog print and some vintage touches set up for now until I have my table setup. Prying the table out of Siri's room for Theo's has been difficult. Even after promising to go get a new big girl night stand. She just doesn't want to let it go.

Brand Launch • Wild Edges Photobooth Co.
I cannot tell you how much fun I had doing this Branding / Identity for Wild Edges Photobooth Co. Angie, the owner, has such fun ideas in her mind and I was so thrilled to bring it to life! I was able to use my illustration of my Grandfather's old camera and incorporate some adorable flowers into the mix in her favorite colors. Adding the photo props into the logo was a great touch Angie thought of and was so thrilled I Was able to get each request just as she was thinking and hoping for.
Stop by and see the website I did for her as well, it's so fun to see all her sample pictures from events. It really gives you ideas on what kind of parties and events she can do.

I am already making new things that I'll be able to cut with my glowforge once it gets here. This one shown here will be cut out, then twirled into a loose spiral for under a glass dome. Perfect for a baby room on a shelf. I so wish I had the machine now to cut it and see!
