Inside the house we have these this morning…
…but Valentine’s Day looks a little different in the yard. Spring is already on its way here, so we have to seize the moment and get going on the massive pile of landscaping projects we have planned for the year.
So we’re spending our romantic weekend with chainsaws and tree stumps. Hope your Valentine’s Day is a special one, too—whether you stick to tradition or not!

Today I am surrounded by piles of bird illustrations and hot pink envelopes, because it’s time once again for my local Valentine craft fair! My newest goodies this year are these color-your-own love notes, inspired by those adult coloring books that have been all the rage lately. I did a trial run with a little Tacoma coloring card last fall, and then you people nearly cleaned me out of them in one fell swoop! So this time I’ve done something with a slightly wider appeal, in case you don’t happen to live in my lovely town (and if you don’t, you can find these cards online in the shop).
If you are local, stop by this Saturday and see them in person. Here are the details:

Here they are! My new line of bird illustrations has arrived, just in (the nick of) time for Valentine’s Day.
In the shop you’ll find snazzy new postcards…
…gift tags (I’m particularly excited about these)…
…and even fun temporary tattoos! This is all just a taste of what I’ve got planned for this year—look for more soon.
In the meantime, head on over and see if something catches your fancy. Happy Valentine’s Day!

For the past few days I’ve been painting while wrapped in a thick wool shawl and wearing fingerless gloves—but howl as it might, no polar vortex can dim my bright tropical paints.
I’m putting the finishing touches on a few new goodies,
just in time for Valentine’s Day. If you’re local, you can find them at my table at the craft fair this weekend! Here’s the skinny:

I’m giggling like a schoolgirl, now that my new Naughty Undies valentine is here! This is my latest pop-up card collaboration with Igloo Letterpress—Allison came up with with the mischievous rhyme and die-cut structure, and I did an entirely typographic illustration of a pair of pink unmentionables. Want to make your Valentine’s eyes pop a little? You can pick up your card in the shop!
