I'm working on new recipe cards for both print & pdf format. Here's a work in progress. Click on it for a closer look (I think it should work across platforms & browsers). Fun, right? Hang on. It gets better....

THERE'S THREE OF THEM! All in one set! Because who doesn't want a little variety in their life?? And sometimes, saying "eat it" is just funny. But I think I'll be switching the colors of "crave it" and "eat it" b/c the confectionery light purple/pink feels more alluring for "crave it," while the green just feels better for "eat it." Do you care? Probably not? Moving on.

I'm personally OBSESSED with helvetica neue & bodoni so I had to throw myself a bone and design something around my two favorite typefaces. Let me tell you something. When you have a close relationship with certain fonts, the design process goes WAY FASTER than when you're forcing yourself to use something different. It's like having a conversation with a close friend vs trying to converse w/ a new acquaintance you don't quite have much in common with. Am I crazy, or does that make sense? Anyway, those are your words of wisdom for the day, brought to you by MLP.

Popsicle Explosion

• — • — •

I'm obsessed w/ cupcakes on a regular basis, but for summer time, I'm also obsessed w/ popsicles. Not just regular popsicles though. I could care less about those. I'm talking FANCY popsicles. GOURMET popsicles. Unique combinations and glorious flavor explosions in a colorful shell. It's fun, but sophisticated. It's a chance to experiment, but without serious commitment. It's easy enough to do, but an intricate and intriguing recipe process. The possibilities are ENDLESS!

These are the popsicles sitting in my freezer right now. Of course, they're sitting on a lovely tray and I tried my best to create a lovely photoshoot. But the assortment is quite varied. Here's the color chart:

I might even be so wild as to post some recipes soon. What do you think? Would you be all for it?

Working on it...

Hey guys! I'm working on some new product as we speak. Things just got a little busier at work (Which is good! KEEP FINGERS CROSSED!) so the new products are taking a little longer than expected. I'm so sorry! But hey, maybe the longer I wait, the sooner the economy will get better and you all can buy my goods, right? :-) Eh, wishful thinking. I know. But anyway, here's what's coming.

• recipe cards, both personalized and non-personalized
• wine tags
• book plates

The recipe cards will be up first... like... w/in a day or two. The wine tags and bookplates will be a little while, but I'll keep you posted!

Now, tell me something. I'm toying around w/ the idea of selling PDFs on Etsy. It makes both our lives easy. It's cheaper for you, and you don't have to wait for a package to be shipped. I don't have to hand-cut and package and ship anything, so it's easy for me. Would you be interested in this? Send me an email or post a comment!

I think I'll post a few items as both a ready-made paper good and a downloadable PDF and see how things go. If you have any thoughts or wishes, please let me know! I'd love to hear them, since you're the ones keeping me going!
