Sugar Bunny

We are so proud to announce our second ornament line. Sugar Bunny by Little Star Soup.
This is our second collaboration with RAZ Imports, and we couldn't be happier.

A Long Road

I said I would be back in the Fall, and now it's nearly Spring. The road I chose made this harder. Miss Lila is home with me, and I haven't quite figured out how one makes artwork with a baby underfoot. I am grateful to have the choice to have her at home with me. I realize that with time more pockets of time will appear. Right now I am enjoying every last minute of this new adventure. Luckily I had some things in the works before Miss Lila joined the party. Product shots coming up.

Maternity Leave

I will be on maternity leave through the summer. I'll be blogging over on Chickpea's site, and burping and pacing, and burping and pacing. Be back in the Fall with some exciting new products!

Welcome Miss Lila Skye Burke

Lila (lil-a), Sanskrit word meaning “Divine Play.” Like Lila, art and play are a gift, coming from a place of joy, self-discovery, and inner knowing.

Artful Nesting

We live in a one bedroom apartment, so I don't have a nursery to decorate. What I do have is a corner of our bedroom. So, as soon as our apartment is back to normal, I will get working on this project. In the meantime, I have been doing some artful nesting. I've been buying prints and cards that I will frame, and hang in Chickpea's corner. Now being that this is our bedroom, I wanted prints that would blend into our world. My idea is to get a group of prints together that represent where Chickpea came from, our story, things we love, and hope to share with him/her. Each one represents something special in our life, or simply something we love. The most important thing is that they are all sparks for stories.

I am still searching for a sun, beach and forest scene, and a representation of dance and music.

I've seen a lot of successful groupings of art prints on one wall, so I'm hoping this pulls together well. Made By Girl, has a step by step tutorial on how to pull an art wall together.

OK, back to my artful nesting.

37 Weeks

37 weeks marks the full term point. If Chickpea was born now (don't get any ideas Chickpea) his/her lungs should be fully mature and ready to breathe air. We're hoping to get to 40 weeks plus though. Mainly because it's best for baby, and because we'd like our apartment to be ready (with a ceiling). Also, we love this belly. The anticipation, the dreaming, the making of endless name lists (sorry John). We want to enjoy the last weeks of this phase without wishing them away.
