I adopted a dog! Her name is Jenny Penny. I absolutely love having her.

There is no place like home!

I moved and it feels like home! The apartment I rented when I first moved to Kansas City was HORRIBLE. I’m so happy to be out of there! I love coming home now. I live 2 houses down from a friend, my landlord is AWESOME and i’ve never had so much space to live in! There really is no place like home.

Fabric

Found some Fabric I designed for Colorbök at Jo-Anne’s!

Playing in Photoshop

I recently took a Photoshop class at work. I wanted to practice a few of the techniques I learned so I made this illustration.

Turkey

Finished my turkey… Keeping myself busy while I watch the election coverage.

Type Play

I took a couple hours off from client work to have some fun and play with type this weekend.

change is good!

September was busy EXTREME!  I moved to Kansas City for a design job at Hallmark and finished up a big freelance project that I took on before I even had an interview….  I had NO idea how much my life was going change! It’s been a whirlwind, but a great one.  I feel so lucky to be here.

Blogging Break
