Spring cleaning on crack

It took me 5 hours to build it and another 5 to fill it, but I'm thinking my beautiful new organized studio will be put to good use (and hopefully not totally disorganized) very soon.

But for now, I'm going to go rearrange the kitchen.

This Weekend! March for the Animals!

i am re-posting this to remind you all that it's time to get together and help some animals!

This Sunday is the March for the Animals and there are tons of ways you can help out...



well, don't fret! i'm giving you a chance to scoop up some fabulous goodies AND help support the MD SPCA. Beginning April 1st, you can enjoy free shipping off any purchase of $10 or more AND the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that 10% of your purchase price is going directly to animals in need. Just enter code MDSPCA in the "notes to seller" section at checkout, and wait for a revised PayPal invoice (Sale valid through Sunday, April 29th at 11:59pm). If you're interested in donating money without buying a bunch of stuff, you can also donate money on my pledge page.



And this month only, order a custom knitimal of your pet for only $100; $20 of which goes to the MDSPCA. If you've been wanting to get one... now would be a great time to do it! Knitimal Pets are about 8-10" tall and make great gifts for animal lovers; all i need is a picture of your furry friend and a little time to knit it up! If you're interested in ordering one, just send me an email!

You have until Sunday, April 29th, 11:59pm to cash in on all the animal-lovin-goodness, so go ahead and feel good about shopping!

And, if you want to check out all the good you're doing first hand... Mason and I would love to see you at the March on April 19th.

Spring cleaning...

Made just a bit cooler when sporting bright green DJ headphones... I'm taking the day to spruce up the joint and get things ready for a big restock. Stay tuned for a big old sale! Xo

embrace the schnoz!

Chocolate therapy

Dear cadbury creme egg,
I look forward to you every spring.
You are childhood in a foil wrapper.
Today, you are my reward for tax season; when I hit send on the e-file, you will be mine.

your moment of zen: goat monopoly

when the little silver pieces just aren't good enough...
so that's why we collect tiny goats!

dear kookaburra...

... i L-O-V-E you.

one of the great things about going to the zoo is you get to meet animals you've only ever seen in books before.
and let me tell you, no book ever made this little guy look so amazing.



this bird is brown and blue and all kinds of perfect.
i came home eager to paint and draw and a little bit wanting a pet kookaburra.



enjoy the spring and the beautifully re-invented Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, check out the investigation stations and meet a new animal friend for yourself! very inspirational!
