Studio Life Lately

And I thought last month was busy! I am smack dab in the middle of invitation season for fall weddings and trying to wrap things up before going on vacation so I feel a little bit like my head is spinning these days! And it doesn't help that Micahboo is teething, yet again... anyone else feel that 30 minute nap pain? Anyways, here's a glimpse at some of the amazing projects I've had the pleasure of working on!

Invitations

I'm working on 4 different invitation suites this month and shipped off 2 others! Crazy I know! But it's one of my absolute favorite things ever... just remind me of that come 10 pm when I'm on envelope 200 with no end in sight... and maybe bring a coffee with you, if you could! :)

Nib Holders

Ahh, my babies. This small aspect of my business has turned into something so wonderful and unexpected! I love trying new things and experimenting to make a beautiful tool that helps you create something beautiful! One of my favorite aspects of the nib holder shop is how your creative vision really drives the pen. I love that these creations look like their owners as opposed to their maker. It's unique, personal, holds character and a story! Here are some shots of the babies we've made this past month, and you might want to keep your eye on my Instagram feed because we're about to launch something really exciting and fun!!!

Free Quarantine Printables: Pack 1
April 5, 2020

Man, this pandemic has really thrown us all for a loop. It’s weird how comforting it is to know we’re all in this together - to have a shared grief, and suffering. So it’s in this spirit that I’ve been creating some printables y’all can download and use however you’d like. Hopefully they help bring you together as a family, or even just give you a little reprieve in trying to be all the things.

#TuneUpYourType Challenge!
July 27, 2018

I have been telling myself to sit down and get some intentional calligraphy practice for months now, and not just a couple words here or there, I need to get back in the habit of daily practice. My muscle memory starts to fade, but when I'm writing regularly I see my skills start to flourish quickly. So I put together a month long challenge for us to hold each other accountable and get some creative posts out of it!

A year ago we started on this journey for our new calligraphy product line. The initial exploration stages are my second favorite thing about a launch. The trials and errors, the happy accidents, the dreaming, the big ideas, the excitement, the creative problem solving. I live for this stuff. My first favorite thing? Actually launching and getting them out in the world. So here goes nothing!
