Baby Diary (22 weeks 5 days)

The pregnancy waddle! This started pretty much at the beginning

of my pregnancy, but now that I'm over halfway done, I feel like I'm

walking like a penguin!

February Plant

The plant I bought for February.

An Elephant Wagon

Spring Like

I'm feeling much better today. Thank you for all your comments and suggestions -- I think they helped! 

I drew this little sketch on Valentine's and meant to post it, so I'm a bit a late. Happy Weekend!

The Flu

My husband got the flu, then my cousin, and now me. I guess there are widespread cases across Chicago, and we got to be the lucky ones! What are your flu remedies? 

Folksy Flowers

While it's currently 9 degrees outside, I'm inside dreaming about spring. 

Weekend

Some bits of my weekend. Packing, reading, hanging out with good friends and dreaming of spring.

Year of the rabbit

The year of the golden rabbit starts today (it's also my aunt debbie's bday Happy Birthday!). Apparently the rabbit is a lucky sign. I think it's going to be a good year.

Folksy February

I declare February to be Folksy February!

Weekend

A few little bits of my weekend. 

Midwest Needles

Meet Midwest Needles newest mascot. 

Midwest Needles is Kate and Kerith, two girls who like vintage fabric, knitting, crocheting and sewing. {I am lucky enough to own one of their pretty cowls.} If you get a chance stop by their blog to get a peek into their lives or their etsy shop. I love this so much! 

Thanks for working with me girls!

To Do

My to-do lists never seem to stop.

Chicken!

My illustration for Illustration Friday. This weeks theme - chicken! While everyone was thinking about drawing chickens, I had an image of two kids standing outside a haunted house. Come on don't be such a chicken!

Weekend

Inspired by For Me, For You's Bits of My Weekend, I decided to draw some bits of my weekend. However, my life isn't too exciting - aside from eating some good grapeleaves and playing too much Wii at my mother in laws - it was a pretty uneventful weekend.

Hot Chocolate

It is a hot chocolate kind of day. 

Handsome Molly

"Wished I was in London, or some other seaport town, set my foot on a steamship and sail the ocean 'round. Sailing 'round the ocean, sailing 'round the sea, think of Handsome Molly wherever she might be."

A few years ago we almost moved to Asheville, NC, where I had imagined living in a bungalow on some land. We'd grow our own food and I'd play the banjo all day long. Instead we ended up in New Orleans for a year and then Milwaukee for half. Now we are planning on going back to where we started in March. Hello Chicago we now know that you are our home.

Resolutions

My illustration for Illustration Friday. Read more and buy more house plants. (i got the idea for house plants on hello jenuine - i really like that one!)

Wendy the Cat

Wendy the Cat is a collaboration between Shashi Bhat (the writter), Matilda Yoo (The Paper Whale Blog) and myself (the illustrator). You can follow Wendy's adventures bi-monthly at The Paper Whale. This weeks tale - a few items Wendy has peed on. 

2011 goals

One down, few more to go. Not a bad start!
