I finished doing the illustrations for Center of Short Attention! It was really fun to do for a very fun lady. We used the theme: Bueno by Woothemes on wordpress! I love the theme and how easy it was to customize everything! I hope you like it Bridget!

5 Cute ... Mugs!

I am a little obsessed with mugs. I might have to make a wall in my kitchen dedicated to mugs I collect. So here are 5 mugs that have caught my eye recently and I find very cute!

1. Paperchase - Aren't these birds cute! I found this on the Print & Pattern blog! So cute!

 2. Adrienne Looman - Another find on Print & Pattern.  I am loving the birds, they also have a deer and owl one!  

3. Mod Cloth - Ready, Aim, Admire Mug! I love the colorful arrows. Super cute!

 4. Kin Ship Press - Available on Mod Cloth! I love the font!

 5. Howkapow - a simple colorful geometric mug! I think it looks so refreshing!

You can find more of my favorites on my Pinterest!

Minneapolis Finds... Favorite Doughnut Shops

I'm not sure why but I have really been taking any excuse to grab a doughnut lately. So I have found a couple places to go for my sugary fix.

Mojo Monkey Donuts is an amazing little shop in Saint Paul.  I spotted it on the cover of the twin cities Metro Magazine.  Ever since visiting a Ike and Janes in Athens G.A. we have been on the hunt for a bacon doughnut, and you can find one here along other unique items.

A lot of people have suggested the Donut Cooperative to me and I finally went! It is beautiful and sunny inside even on the cold winter day. It would a great place to meet up with someone for a treat.  They have other bakery items like small pizzas. Oh yea, their coffee is amazing! My favorite? The S'more doughnut.

Okay okay okay, I know Isles Buns & Coffee isn't a doughnut shop BUT I can't help it I love it so much, and cinnamon buns are kinda similar right? Well this place is also bright and sunny and I love sitting outside on a nice fall day.  My favorite thing to get is their "Puppy Dog Tails" it's not as overwhelming as a huge bun and goes great with their coffee!

What's happening in the studio...

What's going on in our studio!

Currently being bike inspired, probably just getting restless for summer, I decided to start working on a t-shirt design. It's only half done so far, but I'm liking it and really can't wait to get it finished!

Also I am working on a coffee inspired tea towel! So far I have my latte cup and now a french press!

ALSO finished Center of Short Attention's blog banner. Onto making a cool background pattern and an "about me" page!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
