December Around The Web

I love discovering and being inspired by artists online. This month I discovered Kristi Kohut, and simultaneously fell in love with her bold brush strokes. Below is one of my favorites, as well as a few other links I discovered this month:

November Around The Web

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Here in Kansas City the weather has been somewhat dreadful with lots of freezing rain, but it was still wonderful to be surrounded by friends and family. Here are some of my favorite finds this month:

November offers a much needed time of gratitude before the chaotic month of December. I am especially thankful that I have the ability to create things every day, and for this small piece of the internet where I can share some of my work and inspiration. Thanks for following along! 

October Around The Web

October has been an inspirational month for me. I have started a super exciting project at work, and I have tried to embrace the beautiful fall weather before we head into winter here in the midwest. One of my favorite discoveries this month was Andy J. Miller's Creative Pep Talk Podcast. I have only listened to one episode so far, but I can tell this is going to be one of my new favorite podcasts (although it is really only new to me). Here are a few of my other favorite finds this October:

  • I once had a layover in Iceland on my way home from London, and have always regretted not stopping for a night or two. Elise's (A Beautiful Mess) pictures really have me hoping someday I will get the chance! 

  • It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas (especially when you work for Hallmark), and I love these ornaments by Ampersand Design Studio available at The Land of Nod.

  • National Cat Day was this week and I am obsessed with these. 

  • I love this guide to pumpkin varieties.

  • If you haven't read/listened to/heard of Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert it is a must read for anyone who thinks of themselves as creative or wants to bring more creativity into their life. I listened via Audible and loved it so much I am now the proud owner of a hard copy. 

  • These cards are beautiful!

  • Also this book is beautiful, much like everything else from Rifle Paper Co. 

  • There has been a ton of awesome Halloween inspiration on the Think.Make.Share. blog this month. Here is my favorite. 

Happy Halloween!

September Around The Web

Fall is officially upon us! While we are just now heading into the colder months, Kate Spade's #missadventure Episode 3 has me in the holiday spirit a little early. If you haven't seen it, take a look and enjoy some other links I discovered around the web this month: 

  • Mapiful — Now if only I could decide which city / where I would hang my print.

  • If you are a fan of podcasts check out Limetown. One of my new favorites. 

  • Look at all these beautiful Hallmark Signature cards available online!

  • I love Kelly's first outfit in her recent Studio DIY post. 

  • If you browse online long enough eventually you will purchase something. This month it might end up being this Lulu & Georgia rug. 

  • One of my favorite recent pins. 

  • Think.Make.Share's DIY tutorial is inspiring me to get going on handmade Christmas gifts. 

  • I have started using the Five-Minute Journal. While I haven't been completely consistent yet, I have found it meaningful to be grateful on a daily basis. 

  • Last, but not least, enjoy this JR JR song.

August Around The Web

I can't believe it is already nearing the end of August! Here is a round-up of some of my favorite inspiration I gathered around the web this month:

This past month also marked the start of my Letters Are Lovely weekly lettering posts. Three weeks in I am feeling energized, and I can't wait to see the variety and evolution that occurs in my lettering over the next year. I haven't undertaken a personal project of this nature before, and I'm excited to see where it will lead. Follow along on the blog, and see the entire collection here!

July Around the Web

I can't believe we are heading into the last week of July, this summer has been a quick one! Here are a few quick picks I have found browsing the inter-webs lately. I am super excited about the beautiful new rug I just ordered from Arro Home, I can't wait to see how it looks in our apartment. I also have to recommend the lemon poppyseed cake recipe from Lauren's Latest blog, it's delicious! The Catalina Bag by Lo and Sons is at the top of my to-purchase list, it would be perfect for my commute to work each week. Enjoy the rest of these links!
