Hey friends. I’ve got some great news … new designs are in the works. Aren’t you ready for something fresh and fun for the summer? I know I am! The above image is a little something from the new work. I’ve been working more with drawing and painting as a medium with this set. I’d love to know what you think …

My weekly feature “my weekend” will no longer be a weekly feature. I’ve come to realize that I can’t force myself to post on a schedule here. I find that it’s a little overwhelming when life takes over. I’m really not a scheduled blogger kind of gal, I’ve tried very hard to be but the truth is out :) Anyway, life goes on and I know what needs to be done!

Please stay tuned for the new “spring/summer” collection! For now, check out what’s available in the shop now!

Today began with a run. Yes that’s right, I’ve started to run and exercise. Just trying to live and eat healthier and I think everyone should – we deserve it! :)

Sorry for the lack of posts – not much excitement here this week. Lots of administrative behind the scenes work. Next week should be back to normal! Happy friday everyone!! Enjoy your weekend and I’ll see you here on Monday with my weekend, maybe you’ll have something to share with us here.

Today was an awesome day! I spent the whole day outdoors in the sun with my pal Despina and her babe James, whom is really really smart and will be such a nerd when he grows up.

Happy Friday everyone. Spring is already here – the trees are budding :) Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend and I’ll see you here on Monday with my weekend, maybe you’ll have something to share with us here.

So glad the weekend has come. I’ll be busy again working on my taxes because I didn’t finish them last weekend. Procrastination! Anyways, I hope everyone has a great weekend even though here in NYC it’s going to be a wet one. Oh sun … how you tease us. And don’t forget it’s day light savings this weekend :) more day light = more time to have fun!

I had the week off from work and it was pretty productive and sort of … not so productive. At the beginning of the week I was moving furniture around, setting up a Malm dresser from Ikea, cleaning out bookshelves, tossing things out and made a pile of clothes to donate. Then the internet went down. The earliest Time Warner can come by is Monday the 15th – (11 days away) now that’s crazy!! Then tried to upgrade my blog and it crashed and then I had to reinstall everything and reformat the template I was working off of … so that’s about it. You may notice some minor differences here on the blog.

I hope to have a peaceful weekend with some r&r with BB and some good eating!

psst … do you have this problem? You turn your computer on (say about 9am) to check your email and then one click leads to another and before you know it the whole afternoon is gone. I guess I need some lessons on time management, what are your thoughts?

It’s been a while since I’ve had a happy friday post. I get so wrapped up in life and everything that goes along with it (the boyfriend, family, friends, day job, new pets, etc …) that I neglect the things I know are good and healthy for me and just me alone.

Just so you know, that’s the last of my 2010 Calendar – for the first time in production, it was a great success. I mailed out my last one earlier this week. I was so happy with the turn out and received many great reviews on them. Thank you to all those that purchased one and I hope you enjoy through out the year. Look out for a new one next year!!

Here are some great things I’ve found browsing the web:

- for all 3G iPone users be uncommon and create your own case.

- don’t know what to make for breakfast, lunch or dinner? Refer to Smitten Kitchen, you’ll find something yummy for your tummy.

- via decor8: reference links for product photography & styling

- Studio 1482 Calendar giveaway.

Well … I wish you all a Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend! I’ll be back on Monday (my Birthday) for “my weekend” post.
