While working on this illustration, I kept imagining Isaac’s toddler room. He is definitely going to have a space themed room.. maybe even based off the colours in this print. I also picture a dark blue ceiling with white dots as stars! …and maybe have white furniture to contrast with the dark walls? I won’t be starting on his room too soon, but I love to get the ideas going early on :)

This new illustration is available as a print in my new Etsy store. And as a side note, if anyone is interested in having a print or greeting card made from any of my past illustrations (the full collection can be viewed on my Flickr account), I’m more than happy to do a custom order. Prints are $20 and cards are $4.

I’m also getting VERY excited that my mom is flying in from Australia tomorrow night for a 6 week visit! She hasn’t seen Isaac since he was about 7 months so a lot has changed since then. I’ll have to do an Isaac update post soon :)

These cakes are too cute! I was just contacted by Ween from Penang, Malaysia who created these adorable decorations for her cakes. She was inspired by two of my illustrations: Prickly Passion and Be Mine! I am flattered that she was so inspired by my work and did such an amazing job reproducing the images. I had my own go at cake decorating not too long ago and it’s definitely not easy! Very cute :)

Thanks for showing me your amazing cakes Ween! To view more photos of the cakes or her other work, check out her Flickr account.

…well it felt like a Christmas present anyway!

I had just finished serving Isaac his lunch when the doorbell ran. UPS was  at the door delivering my very first box of products samples! I quickly signed away the package, closed the door, and squealed to Isaac. He was also very excited! I know this may sound dramatic but these are the first decor products I’ve designed and it was amazing to see my illustrations so professionally produced… and even more exciting that I could use them in my own home :)

I’ve mentioned before on my blog that I designed these products for Goodnite Moon Kids. My designs included clocks, canvas art, door hangers, and growth charts. The company offered to send a few samples my way so I requested some of my favorite pieces. Everything looks amazing but I’m most excited at how my clocks turned out. The quality is top notch and the printing/colour of my illustration is just how I wanted it. I’m planning on putting all these pieces in our almost-to-be-finished basement playroom/office.

My designs are perfect for a baby’s nursery, kid’s bedroom, or playroom. If you’re interested in purchasing any of the products I’ve recently designed, you can do so at Rosenberry Rooms.

“The garden was lit with flying fairies gathering flowers for their homes.” This week’s Illustration Friday submission is a children’s canvas design for Goodnite Moon Kids. This canvas will be available in stores very soon!

With the help of my wonderful hubby, I’m happy to launch my redesigned blog! Not only have we been working hard at redesigning my blog but we’ve also created a new portfolio website.

I wanted to separate my blog from my portfolio site for a couple reasons. Firstly, I didn’t like having my blog as my main page because the content continuously fluctuates on this page and it’s the first impression a viewer has of my site. I wanted to have a bit more control over the first impression. Secondly, I want my portfolio site to remain professional but also want the freedom to be more personal on my blog. By separating the two, I am able to have a bit more fun with my blog :)

I have designed a new logo, layout, and colour scheme. The logo represents me and my little one, Isaac! Anyone who knows me, knows that Isaac LOVES to be carried and that I put him in my Ergo baby carrier (best baby invention ever!) everywhere I go – even at 27lbs! He is my little inspiration and I wanted to include him in my redesign.

My blog is also a bit larger now and has more features – feel free to take a look around! Currently, you can subscribe to my RSS feed, add me as a contact on Flickr, become a fan on Facebook, add me as a contact on LinkedIn, follow me on Twitter, and subscribe to my email updates!

I’ve also managed to redesign my business card, letterhead, and envelopes. I’m hoping to make a post about those soon.

I’d love to hear your feedback on my redesign and the design of my new portfolio site!
