{ A lot has happened }

So a lot has happened in the past year! Our 2 year old turned 3 and is very much a handful and a delight and we welcomed our second daughter in August.  Going from none to one was hard and going from one to two was even harder. But don't get me wrong I love my girls to the moon and back.

After my little break, here I go jumping in where I left off.

{ Foxing Around }

Between being a mom and a wife, I found a bit of time to create some new artwork! And I hope to find a bit more time to continue what I love doing.  This is an illustration that I completed first digitally but then wanted to try a bit of watercolour and gouache.  I am very happy with the results and hope to do more like this soon.  If you love this little fox it is now available in my Etsy shop!

{ Someone is turning 2 }

After a bit of a hiatus (mainly taking care of my energetic toddler) I am getting back into the groove of things for the new year and hopefully I will have a bit more time to contribute to my sometimes neglected blog.  With that said, its our toddlers second birthday very soon, and I wanted to create some special invitations for the day.  I repurposed an old illustration that I really loved but didn't like how it turned out.  I am much happier with the redesign!

{ Heather + Iain }

As promised here are photos of Heather + Iain's whimsical invitation suite.  So much fun!

{ Whimsical wedding invites }

A while back, a very lovely and wonderful couple commissioned me to create their wedding invitations.  An invitation often sets the scene and feeling of a wedding and this Toronto couple wanted their suite to be hand painted and hand lettered, capturing their love, the love for their beloved dog and the city they call home! Their suite included a double sided invitation, a mad lib RSVP and a Poster inspired guest book.

I haven't had a chance to take styled photos yet (its on my list of things to do) but I couldn't wait to share this suite with you.
