i want that. Taeeun Yoo illustrations

I'm in love. It is possible that I drool over art more than I do shoes, bags, etc. Then again, well made shoes, bags, etc should be considered a form of art. Well, at least in my own little world...

I came across this Library print by yoote on Etsy. 1) books. 2) r e d book [good hue, too]. 3) illustration. 

Love it.

I spent a lot of time working in pen & ink during college. The b-w art is an old assignment done with a ton of Micron pens! It's about 18x24 not including the frame and mat...many hours clocked into that piece.

Her [Taeeun Yoo] illustrations have a mild sketchy manner to them that I love. Plus, there's emphasis on her tonal work--which, again, I love. Oh, okay, & she seems to include a lot of black cats too! [my 1st pet was a black cat + my nickname...got it, good]

So after checking out the goods at her Etsy shop [drool], I stop by her website & blog. Turns out she's a children's book author & illustrator [go figure]. Go check out her lovely work!

Art is such a personal thing, but I hope you enjoy!

Cute animal themed baskets for kids!

So, I'm not typically the gushy type. In fact, unless it's a kid I know personally or is absolutely adorable....I am one the the most anti-norm females about kids. Strange enough, I will go "awwwe" for certain kiddie-geared products (or animals).

These are some nifto kiddie baskets that I found at Hobby Lobby* recently. They would be adorable to hold an inventory of hot wheels or crayons/pencils/markers (just don't tell the boys I used the word adorable).

*The baskets are not available for online purchase, but you can see if a store is near you.
