I really love seeing those simple line drawings turn into these beautiful, [...]

What’s New at Mew: A Rustic Farm Wedding in the Berkshires

Teri contacted me via Etsy at first with a pretty solid vision of what she wanted her invites to be like.  The wedding would be held in a rustic old barn up in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts.  It was important for the bride to incorporate birds, wildflowers and a barn.  At first it was [...]

Bunny Ballerina Stamps are in production!

A while back I shared the good news of my little licensing agreement to have rubber stamps produced by my friends at The Cat’s Pajamas.  Just in time for Easter, the design team over there has come up with the sweetest little magic wands using the stamp made from my illustration!  The stamp itself is [...]

What’s new at Mew–Purple is the ‘10 Wedding Color

For the past couple of months I’ve been working on a project with an old, dear friend.  Sometimes working with friends can be a slippery slope, but so far I’ve been lucky.  I was so excited to work with Lisa on her wedding suite–we’ve known each other for more than 20 years!  I pegged her [...]

What’s new at Mew–Nesting Baby Shower Stationery

Haven’t really had time to post about what’s been going on in the studio lately–so much design and production on new client projects!  I don’t like to release wedding invite photos though until the client sends her invite, so the What’s New section has been a bit quiet.
Last week, a past client (who is now [...]

An evening with Perideau Designs

I’ve been lucky enough to meet a few of my Etsy pals in real life.  Lauren of Ornametal just happens to be my neighbor, which I probably would never have known if not for hours of forum surfing during my former day job.  And Michelle of Cicada Studio and I had a great visit (but [...]

What’s new at Mew; Rubber Stamps!

My belief in manifesting your own destiny, or however you want to refer to it, is a primary focus for me in 2010.  I have a certain list of goals that I want to accomplish, and I just keep telling myself that I will successfully meet all of them.  It’s kind of amazing to me [...]

Win Mew goodies in a Blog Scavenger Hunt!

Happy New Year!  Happy, Happy New Year!  Nothing like a clean slate to get things started off on the right foot.  Here at Mew, I’m making room for some new illustrations and designs in the collection.  So, I thought it’d be a good time to host a giveaway featuring some of my tried and true [...]

New Year, New Mew!

Just took a minute to refresh the look of my Etsy shop–I haven’t changed my banner in who knows how long, and I’ve had the same avatar since I joined in February, 2007–wow, three years already?  And I sent the holiday cards into retirement as of today to make room for Valentine Cards!  (However, if [...]

In this issue of Happy Elf Digest…Christmas Cookie Baking!

The joy and festivities continued yesterday with a full day of serious cookie baking.  My mom came with three huge laundry baskets (that’s what she travels with–not suitcases or bags.  Laundry baskets.) full of baking artillery.  Sheet pans, hand mixer, about 37 lbs. of flour and sugar, and of course a Pampered Chef cookie press.  [...]
