I am just in awe of artist Caity Knox and her “Westside Kate” illustration for Sugar Paper. She’s all of 22! Keep up with all things Caity at her blog, Caity Wompus.
thanks to Peggy at bluepoolroad for the info

Kata Golda has a book coming out in October, and I think I’d like to try making these sweet felt animals. Hand-stitched? I think I could handle that. Available for pre-order at Amazon.

Good morning! For those of you who are dealing with heat/rain/cold/general yuckiness, I’m apologizing in advance, because we just had another fabulous summer weekend as far as the weather is concerned. No a/c required, gentle breezes, sun shining ….. (Okay, I’ll stop now.)
School starts just four weeks from today, and so for the month of August, I’m going to institute “summer hours” at simple + pretty. Which basically means I’ll be posting as things hit me, instead of scheduling three posts each day. Some days, you’re not likely to notice a difference, but other days, posting may be a bit lighter. Rest assured, August 31 I’ll return to regularly scheduled programming.
Have a wonderful Monday!
