It's always fun to see how people interpret the topic so differently sometimes. I love doing this challenge, and I'm glad their are lots of new doodlers joining in every month. It's also great to see people keep at it month after month. It's a great feeling to fill up the pages of your sketchbook and look back on how much you've progressed!

Fun Crafts

The husband and I have been doing a few craft projects for our home that's being built and they are turning out great and are so much fun to see them come together! More on that soon, but I wanted to share a few other craft projects I'd like to try and maybe you will too! Some for the home and some just for fun :)

 Hex Planter Box via /// Pepper Design Blog

Embroidered Merit Badge DIY via /// Etsy Blog

Nail string art via /// Brit + Co.

Rustic pencil holder via /// Strawberry Chic

What I like about these projects is that they seem fairly simple and you can easily add your own creative spin on them! What do you think?

Sweet Summer

I found this super sweet June desktop calendar on the Ruche Blog and couldn't help but share it with you! Such a refreshing backdrop to get your taste buds ready for summer...

Speaking of sweets... I made my first Strawberry Rhubarb pie this weekend and heavens was it delicious! We stopped by the Asheville City Market and bought some lovely smelling bright red strawberries, then a friend in our neighborhood let us cut some stalks of his rhubarb. So the ingredients were super fresh! I used this recipe from thekitchn.com only I did half brown and half white sugar so the pie wouldn't taste too sweet. It was super simple and turned out so GOOD!

 Voila!

 I'll leave you with a doodle I did inspired by our trip to the Asheville City Market...

Have a lovely Sunday and great week!

Garage 34

Now that my husband and I have settled into Asheville, we've had time to work on our art and we've really been enjoying it. It's a slower pace than our previous 9-5, but still plenty of work! We are working on getting our prints and cards in local shops and our work is being very well received.  I've had my eye on a little downtown Asheville shop called Garage 34 since last September that sells local handmade goods and wares. Luckily one of the very sweet store owners, Holly, contacted me about selling in their store! So I paid them a visit last week and they are now carrying my prints and cards. So happy about that!

Here's a look at the cool indie shop located on 34 South Lexington:

 

Hope you visit if you're in the area or are visiting Asheville! It neighbors Mast General Store and French Broad Chocolate Lounge. Make a day of it!
