Something Fishy

I wasn’t even going to tell this story out loud on my blog, because it’s so ridiculous and kind of gross.  But I find it, also,  sort of hilarious, and you know how I like to get a laugh.  And since this blog is a look inside my life, I thought it might be worth [...]

Birds, Bouncing and Balloons for Addisynn

Last year when my friend’s daughter turned one, her party had a ballerina theme, for which I made invitations.  And a friend of the party host made a darling cake to match!  I feel like I might have posted about it in the past, but can’t seem to find it.
Well, it’s the time of year [...]

What’s new at Mew? Bird Wedding Invitation with Belly Band

I think I’m on a cottage-y, vintage-y, garden-y kick these days and I think this new wedding suite certainly fits the vibe.

Shown here in sage green, ivory and chocolate brown, this two-layer invitation has a coordinating belly band to keep enclosures neatly in place. Birds, scrolling calligraphy and flourishing script give it a glamourous, [...]

A must-add for your blog reader: Little House on the Southern Prairie

Earlier this spring I did an invitation suite for a fun, North Carolina couple–the theme of their wedding was a laid back Bar-B-Q with a cool music mix, casual vibe and ice cream sundaes.  Count me in!

I really love it when I build a long-distance friendship with my clients–especially Emily.  I have absolutely loved staying [...]

Not that I even LIKE ice cream.

Holy. Freeking. Meltdown.
Day 6 of body detox begins. Last night was the fifth night. Things were going along just fine–no, I wasn’t enjoying myself (not even close) but I was fueled by my own determination and the fact that I didn’t cheat–not even once.
But last night…oh man, [...]

Spring Cleansing

Morning Cup, originally uploaded by mewpaperarts.
When things get really busy for me with work, my health and personal well-being are the first things that I stop paying any attention to. (My friends and socializing are the second thing to go.) It pains me to say that until I was in Block Island last [...]

The Scooter Chronicles, 2009 (Part 1)

We’re on vacation!  (Don’t tell anybody, but I’m already going a little stir-crazy, but we’ll save that for another post!)  We got here yesterday–clear, but windy skies made the ferry boat a leeeetle bit rough, and I had to stay in the garage area with the scooter to keep it from tipping over.  (And to [...]

Chipping Away

It never fails that when I’m starting to stress about being a little slow at work, the floodgates open and I’m once again blessed with an abundance of the work I so love to do.  Today, that abundance was a tiny bit overwhelming, but I was able to isolate the reason why and just chip [...]

Monthly Goal Meetup for May via Modish Biz Tips

Oh man.  Don’t I feel like a schmoe.  I was all gangbusters on this
monthly goal-making list via Modish Biz Tips and I’m kind of
embarrassed to report my findings.  It would be a lot easier for me to avoid this altogether, but that would sort of defeat the purpose of setting goals for growth.
So, with my [...]

Thai Noodle Soup, my way

After a perfectly clear and sunny weekend full of gardening, reading on the deck and eating outside I certainly was not expecting a grey, sleety Monday. But I suppose, if the weather is going to be a jerk, better on a work day than a play day right?
To [...]
