This beautiful tree is in my neighbor's yard and grows over the fence just outside my bedroom window. As I wake with bleary eyes I check to see if it's dark or light and these giant blossoms always make my tired eyes happy. The morning songbirds fly in and out between her leaves and no matter what the weather the magnolias brighten any gloomy morning.
A few months ago I talked about my design process for a new yarn label design, and today I got samples! The yarn, Coffee Beenz by Plymouth Yarn Company has a rich color palette and soft hand. The label has warm tones that work well with each of the colors of the yarn. I'm excited to whip something up, maybe a latte?
A few weeks ago I decided I would be the best daughter a good daughter and fly to Pennsylvania to spend time with my mom for her 70th birthday. Here's my mom and my dad, I think they're smiling extra big because their best daughter is I'm taking their photo. She doesn't look 70, does she? Happy Birthday again, Mom!
