Dog-Gone Piano

A quick concept sketch of a baby piano incorporated into a doghouse form! Zoe is teaching me a bit about what the babies like. :)

Bug Car

Not my concept, just my sketch. Cute toy, huh?

She's getting so big! Had to share:

My Baby Doll

Here is a sketch of my daughter's profile. Now *that's* a cute baby doll. :D

Pink Rawr

Oops. I drew a dinosaur, and I didn't stop myself before I colored it pink and added a heart. Baby steps.

Little Bit

A quick sketch, with a bit of color thrown on, works a lot better for me than what I was doing yesterday. It's a lot more fun to draw, and less frustrating! I will try to draw a baby doll again soon, I wont let the creepy sketch from yesterday defeat me.

Baby Doll Sketch

I took way too long sketching this doll, and it doesn't look that great. Oh well, I've gotta start somewhere!

Toy Sketches

I would like to design toys, as a freelancer, someday. I figure I need to practice drawing again, like back in school! I am going to practice with my iPad, and post my sketches to this blog. Maybe I'll be inspired to make some toy-themed sterling silver jewelry in the process.

Here is the first sketch.

Knitting for Zoe

My baby girl has teeny feet, so I've been knitting some slippers for her. I made up the pattern myself! I'm working on the 2nd of the pair, but not at this exact moment....I have a baby sleeping in my arms!

I would love to sell my knitting, but not with all of the dog hair in the house. :)

Teething Bling

This is actually jewelry-related!

I bought this "Teething Bling" necklace at Sprout Soup today. The donut shaped pendant looks like a stone or metal, but it's actually baby-safe rubbery plastic. It hangs on a fabric cord, which is also baby-safe, as long as mama is wearing it.

I bought this because Zoe is always tugging on, and trying to eat my necklaces. Now I welcome that behavior! She likes my teething bling, but the cord is already soggy. That may be the only drawback. We shall see!

I wonder if there is some way to make baby-friendly nearly with sterling? It's probably out there...

Infant Training

Did she just happen to sit like this, or is her mother already training her to be a dancer?! ;)

Up and "Running" Again!

I've still got a lot of rebranding and creating/listing to do, but I'm back in the game!
