millions of projects, projects for me

Since Lucy was born back in November, I have realized that my home has become the graveyard of unfinished projects. This charming vintage sideboard? It still needs to be restained. Only one door has been given any attention. And I have had this in our home for like 5 months.

My most awesome upholstered houndstooth armchair? Still missing the piping around the edges. Which means there are many upholstery staples exposed. Not super classy.
I’ve got a list a mile long of half finished projects around the home. Hopefully now that Violet has started public school full time and Nathan is back for the semester, life will fall into a nice, predicable schedule.
Are you like me? So much to do, so little time?

Owl Onesies Preview

Hi! I wanted to show you a mock up of one of the new designs coming soon to Gingiber. 
These are adorable 2 color owl onesies (and toddler tees) printed with eco friendly water based inks onto the softest navy blue shirts. Available in Pink for girls or Blue for boys.
The actual onesie may look a bit different (i.e. have more of a worn “vintage” feel to them). As soon as I have them back from the printer I will snap pics and show them to you!
I am soooo excited about these. I will share another new design with you next week.

1st Swing

This is Lucy’s 1st swing ride. She is all like “yeah mom, I’ve got this”. 
This was Violet on her 1st swing ride. Hard to believe this was 3 years ago.
Time goes by far too quickly. I’ve got to get to the park more often 🙂
P.S. I’ve updated my blog layout. Again. You’ve heard of stress eaters? Well I am a stress coder 😉

Reindeer Games

What am I doing? Oh, just sketching some reindeer. Working through some ideas for limited edition gold silk screened prints 🙂
That’s all. 
What have you been up to?

Happy Mail

Happy mail on Monday from Bookhou. Seriously the quickest shipping from Canada (less than a week) and the most lovely handprinted tea towels 🙂 I seriously may frame them above my couch.

A nice closeup of the packaging. Simple and clean. Sometimes you just need something beautiful in your home, ya know?

Critters

I’ve been drawing animals since I was a little girl. I have always gravitated towards cute little critters. Foxes. Birds. Dogs. And animals like that. These doodles are from my chalkboard walls in my dining room. I’ve been thinking of painting over the wall color with something more “approachable” for when we try to sell the house, but I am struggling with parting will the years of doodles 🙁
But I’ve been branching out lately. I am trying to come up with the perfect Gingiber hedgehog. My husband wants to see a sloth. I’ve had some custom requests for dinosaurs. 
So I am going to take some time to just sketch. See what comes out. I have been wanting to play around more with mixed media and watercolors. Maybe if anything turns out it will find its way into the shop!
Any requests?

When All Else Fails, Draw A Barn Owl

The picture is a bit blurry, but I drew a wee barn owl yesterday. Truthfully, I poured a great deal of energy and time into the line that I released last week, and I just feel like I need to clear the pipes. 
So why not draw an owl? I draw lots of owls. Owl calendars. Owlphabets. Friendly and feathered. 
Not sure what to do with this fella yet. I’ve been dying to design a tea towel, so maybe something wintery and black and white with this bird?
What do you think I should make with this owl?

Fig and Yarrow Packaging

Handsome packaging by Fig + Yarrow. Clean and Masculine. I think Nathan might need a bottle.
