Oh summer how I miss thee... well, not really. I'm actually glad to have a routine again and be back in my groove. It's been almost a month since my son and I both went back to school! He's in pre-k and I'm teaching art... and I'm also a student! I'm taking the course "Illustrating Children's Books" from the Children's Book Academy and so far so good. I won a scholarship, and I joined one of their critique groups. I also was really, really pleased that my character sketches were chosen to be reviewed by the well-respected agent, Christy Tugeau Ewers. That was so cool!
Blueprint Next Month
I can't believe Blueprint is already in less than a month! This time it will be in Fort Mason, San Francisco, in their Gallery 308 space. If you're in the area, let us know. I won't be there, but several of the Finch & Foxglove gals will be representing us. I have some cute new patterns and greeting cards to share!

My card for DesignDesign is now live! If you have a shop, you can order in bulk from their merchandiser/retailer portal HERE. If you want to order just one or two boxes, you can preorder with me (just respond to this email or email me here)! Each box comes with 6 cards. Each card is approximately 4.25 x 5.5".
