Wonderful Surprise at the Santa Monica Farmer's Market

I had a wonderful surprise last Sunday when I visited the Santa Monica Farmer's Market. There was a petting zoo full of goats and other farm animals! I stood and watched them interact with each other and with children. The petting zoo was cramped with too many children full of excitement, yet they seemed not to be fazed by it. They went about the day just like any other day, eating, resting, pooping, and eating some more.

I feel like there's some lesson there. It was so much fun watching them I lost track of time.

After seeing the goats I can't help but to be inspired. And here are my latest goat cards. They are available at Hellomaupoo.

Free Printable June Calendar!

June is almost here. Here's a patterned calendar to mark the month. This one is all about variation within a uniform squared pattern. Looking at it from the photograph, it reminds me of my life - it's seemingly predictable with daily routines yet there are many complexities within. It's been 8 months since I left my job to pursue my own business of graphic design service and product designs and it hasn't been easy. I am still trying to figure out how to make this work. I realized so much has do with myself. This journey has pushed me to get to know myself better through getting to know my insecurities. I am learning to be more aware of them and not let them influence me so much.

If life ever feels dull, just look for the complexities within.

Ribbon Bracelet

I don't have heart to throw away ribbons that presents come wrapped in, especially fabric ribbons. I have a box full of scrap ribbons but this gray ribbon caught my eye. I love the fabric and the color, so I thought why not make something with it, specifically a bracelet. This is what I came up with. I think the orange thread adds a little something to the bracelet, what do you think?

Free Printable May Calendar!

I can't believe this month is almost over. I realized I better hunker down and work on a design for the by-weekly Free Pintables Series. I am a little late. Today I designed a May calendar to add to the April calendar I did before. This calendar is made up with little gold glitter dots, some with hot pink tipped edges and some with green tipped edges. Dots are lined up to create a square with a pattern within. There are two versions of this calendar - letter size and 1024x728 px wallpaper available to download below. Enjoy!
