I just wanted to write a quick update, I seem to have been super busy since my last post. As per usual the majority of my time has been spent raising little Avie bean. She is still loving her little adventures, her new thing is to crawl around the back of our drafting table and then climb over the support beam, a good 12 inches high, no mean feat for a 1 year old. She’s also taking more and more steps on her own, she’ll be running before we know it, this summer is going to be fun chasing her around.
On the subject of little beans, this week will see the exciting launch of Crystal’s illustration shop Little Beanz. Specializing in fine art prints, which will focus on celebrating childhood by highlighting an exceptionally unique little darling in each illustration. You can see some sneak peaks of her work over at The Micawber. But the shop will be launching on this coming Friday at 2PM EST. So don’t forget to check that out at www.littlebeanz.com. I’ve been helping out with banners and such for her shop and starting to put together flyers and posters for the launch too.
Apart from helping out with Little Beanz. I’ve also been starting to put together my own T-Shirt blog T-Shirt Advocate. Over the last year or so I have spent a lot of time on various T-Shirt sites and Blogs and thought it was high time I jumped on the bandwaggon. It will be a good learning experience in the worlds of webdesign, online marketing and “pro blogging”, 3 things I am intending to persue when my Visa is eventually sorted. Which reinds me, I was supposd to be doing a post entitled “priorities” listing my priorities right now, (immigration being the first one). My theory being that if I get things down on here then it will give me more incentive to get them done, a reader moderated ‘to-do’ list if you will. Getting back to T-Shirt Advocate though, the aim is to write about my favorite T-Shirts and shops and to research and report on different avenues for designing, printing and selling T-Shirts.
One last note, on the mirror I posted about, Crystal actually ended up painting it, and I cleaned up the glass and added hooks for our keys. I think it turned out really well, especially considering it was only 2 dollars…
