MOTHER HEN

Janette and I are trying to pull a baby shower together for Rachel in the next couple of weeks. We decided on a mother hen theme in reference to the baby chickens Rachel got not too long ago. I drew up a vintage style chicken for the evites. Can't wait to meet little Kempf!

LARA COLLINS

On my most recent trip to Fredricksburg, TX, I met Lara who is a super cool girl and owner of Enid. It's a great little shop featuring one of a kind handcrafted gifts and decor. She approached me a few weeks after my visit to see if I would be interested in creating a logo for her jewelry line. She had a clear vision for what she wanted and we came up with something really sweet. Here's the logo in action.

I CREATED AN ALPHABET TODAY

I'll call it Dove.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR

This is a project I got to work on for Sunrise Greetings last year. They were launching a new handmade line and wanted some fun attachments.  You can find it at Barnes & Noble!

NEW AARON HALE MYSPACE COMING SOON...

AMPERSAND = BIRD

I was doing some logo design in the car on the way to Arkansas today and Aaron suggested I play around with a new logo for twine and twig. I made an amazing discovery... ampersand = bird. Since the name "twine and twig" was inspired by a line from Spoonful of Sugar, I thought a robin would be the best choice. I think I'll name him Bert after Dick Van Dyke's character.

TURNS OUT I MIGHT HAVE A GREEN THUMB AFTERALL

This weekend was a beautiful weekend for working out in the yard. I got our flower beds cleaned up and we finally had some time to fill our flower boxes. We had some dusty miller at our wedding. It's one of my favorites and I love the way it contrasts with the dark leaf plants. I also planted some basil and cilantro. It's doing pretty well so far. Can't wait to cook with it!

PEABODY & WONDER

A friend from Lubbock was in town the other day and got some really cute shots of our sweet dogs. I had to share.

Thanks Caleb!

VINTAGE MIXER

My friend Becky in Salt Lake City area has a great blog and wanted a little update with a coordinating twitter page. I had a tough time getting started, but I think we ended up with something really fresh and it totally fits her style.

THE BIGGEST LITTLE THING YOU CAN DO

Hallmark is reacting to the turn in the economy and giving their 99¢ card line a much needed face lift. Our team got to lead this redesign. I had a lot of fun working on the kids' cards. The line looks great! To see more visit a Hallmark store near you!
