I’ve spent the last 20 months growing and then caring for a tiny baby (along with taking on a new day job, bringing home a new puppy, selling a house, buying a new house, and remodeling). I spent nearly two years practicing the ability to give myself grace when I fell behind in my day job, or house chores, or responding to an email, or accidentally forgetting to feed the dog dinner. Learning how to be a mom was natural, but also very hard for me, so my calligraphy “hobby” got very little of what was left of me. One project I knew I wanted to work on was my little brother and new sister in law’s wedding invitations. We combined my loose calligraphy style with illustrations of their venue in an olive green color for a very simple and romantic invitation suite. I loved working on this project and hope to take on a few more sometime soon. Until then, I’ll be chasing my almost one-year-old who just took her first steps today! 📸: 🎨:
