Sigh. I must remember this, as I find myself saying, “I don’t have enough time” all too often.
party on your shirt
These tiny brooches from Boo and Boo Factory scream “PARTY!” I would wear one of these whenever I felt like having a mini party on my shirt.

I absolutely love these prints by Aled Lewis which are now available to buy at In PRNT.

milton glaser words of wisdom
I periodically go back to Milton Glaser’s Ten Things I Have Learned to review his advice. I always feel refreshed and inspired when I read his wise words. His number one is “You can only work for people that you like.” Brilliant and true, when you like the people you work for then work doesn’t really feel like work anymore.
to do {clean + tidy}
These images from creative studio Kontor Kontur are just the inspiration I need to tidy and clean this weekend. Guests will be here in a few weeks and I need a jump start on my spring cleaning!
- deep clean bathroom
- clean out closet
- deep clean kitchen
- sketches for new web design client
- bookmark and clear out the 100+ tabs open in my browser (yikes!)
- dust living room
- clean out / tear out good pages from stack of magazines on my desk
- go for a run!
the makers
Have you heard of The Makers? It’s a beautiful photography project by Jennifer Causey. She documents people making things and the final photographs are stunning. She snaps the mundane objects that people work with everyday and makes them into art.

project thirty three
The owner of Jive Time Records in Seattle has been collecting geometric album covers and posting them at Project Thirty Three. The end result is an inspiring array of rectangles, circles, dots, squares and triangles that remind us what we can accomplish with a few simple shapes. You won’t see gradients or 3D effects on these posts, just bold and beautiful shapes. A big high five to Jive Time Records for taking the time to scan all of these album covers.
