Howdy strangers! Ugh, are we terrible at blogging or what? I’ve been feeling motivated to share and just do more writing in general. I’m hoping this spurs some more consistent postings.

There are a number of things that I’ve been wanting to post about. New projects, old projects, new and old ideas that I’ve been tossing around the old cranium. Maybe it’s the promise of spring that has me feeling revitalized and more motivated than usual. I think it’s also the baby boy’s growing independence and seeing good changes and opportunities on the horizon that are also contributing to this feeling.

So what’s new? First, I wanted to share this logo that I designed for a newly formed online book club that was spontaneously put together.

Basically, a Facebook friend threw out the idea of starting a book club. A handful of mutual friends showed interest and – boom – the Confused Club of Book Reader was born! The name comes from the fact that none of the members has been in a book club since elementary school and none of us knew anything about starting one. We winged it and are sort of just making it up as we go. Which is actually sort of fun!

Right now, we are reading I’d Know You Anywhere by Laura Lippman. I’d actually never heard of it. I’m about 5 pages in.

In other news. I’ve been playing around with the idea of moving all non-design, non-craft, non-making related blog post to a completely different blog. I feel like the main purpose of this blog was to share things that Andrew and I make. But I’ve been wanting to write more about baby boy and other non-creative aspects of our lives but not sure if this is the right forum to do so. What do you guys think?

And with that, just a couple things to look forward to on THIS blog. Some past due Christmas gift updates, crib photos (finally!), wedding designs, and some freelance stuff that I’ve been working on.
