Today's Work-in-Progress

First off, I am so happy to say I have an internship! Aside from pending paperwork finalization, I am officially employed in my field of study!

Second off, and on a much, much more important note: my sister's baby is due in less than a week! Miss Harper Sylvia Knapp is expected to join us on Monday and I am thrilled. In my anticipation I've started working on a few potential birth announcements. I've only really explored a single theme at this point, but I've got a few more to poke around with.


"we are stoked to announce the birth of
Harper Sylvia

8 pounds, 7 ounces
18.7 inches long
perfect.
welcomed by judi, erik, and big sister
Callie Indyca"

On the 4th draft I even included their puppy, Monty Boy. The figures I used are my guesses for my family's pool going on, so hopefully putting them down in writing will send some message to the universe.

How much do babies normally weigh? How long are they?

Oh I know the answers are just around a corner (or google tab) but I'd like to remain unaware so that I'm more convinced that my numbers are spot on!

Today's happenings: pineapples.

Today I was feeling extra inspired and wanted to play around with some illustrations and making cards. I started with a similar template of a pineapple, and branched out from there. The paper I used is an off-white with specks of color throughout.

I'm a screenshot maniac. 

I love seeing so much creativity in my instagram feed. I love pineapples and Amy Poehler, illustrations and brush lettering, Sophia Amoruso and funny quotes. 

And books. 

 And Rosé, of course. (And Hogwash! If Hagrid was a rosé drinker- and of course, who am I to say he isn't- I think he'd be partial to this one)
