Life Just Snowballs Along

by Sara McNally | January 8th, 2013

Sara here, catching up after a long long loooong end of 2012. I love the hustle and bustle of the holidays and finishing up the year, but being that busy always takes its toll. Brad and I had a wonderful Christmas, but spent most of our vacation time being quite sick. But we’re finally getting back to normal and are back in the office working, planning and getting 2013 in gear! But before we do that, here’s a bit of a December wrap up!

We participated in the local AIGA & AAF Seattle’s Jingle & Mingle Holiday Party as a vendor in their Design Gift Market. It was fun to meet folks and greet shoppers at a new event! (Photo courtesy of the event’s Flickr page.)

We participated in our first winter Crafty Wonderland show in Portland. It was a great turnout, and an amazing show to shop! We did a good chunk of our holiday purchases at the show, as well as at Portland Bazaar (we left Cherish in the booth and ran off to visit!), and Wanderlust (my new favorite store in Portland).

We launched the Cosmic Sans project website, and it went viral! We’ve found it all over the place. Here are some of the most exciting places we’ve seen it shared: Quipsologies, The Smithsonian Blog, The Maddow Blog, Design Taxi, and i09. Continue reading  ☞

Happy Mother’s Day!

by Sara McNally | May 13th, 2012

Happy Mother’s Day to all the best moms ever out there, especially our awesome moms, Suzi & Gail!

This is the first mother’s day in years that i’ve gotten to spend with my mom, which is really exciting. I love having family nearby – it wasn’t something we ever thought would happen, and we are so blessed to have them! Family is awesome.

Speaking of family, I’ll be out of the office Wednesday through Friday for my cousin’s wedding. (Remember Liz & Andrew?) Andrew and I have always been close (we’re only a few months apart in age) and he was a groomsman in our wedding, so it means a lot to me to be there as a bridesmaid when he ties the knot! My mom, sister and I are making the trip to St. Louis together (and leaving the boys at home to work), so it will be a girl’s getaway. I’m definitely looking forward to the time away and seeing extended family that I haven’t seen since our wedding. Should be a great time! I’ll be back on the blog (and answering e-mails again) once i’m back on the 20th.

Saint Patty’s Day Inspiration Board

by Sara McNally | March 17th, 2012

In honor of the great holiday that is upon us (and the sudden appearance of Spring green in Seattle), I present to you: two green things that I like.

I really like this Mini Textured Felted Wool Bundle from Purl Soho. They die several fabrics the same color for a unified palette that you can use in all kinds of fun crafty projects. I would love to make a quilt like this. (When I learn how to quilt.) I also really like this sweet terrarium by weegreenspot on Etsy. It’s inspired by the Irish landscape, and even has a “wee” felted sheep. It’s way too cute. My desk would love to have it.

If it would ever stop raining, i’d take some pictures of the Spring-y goodness that is happening all over our fair city right now. But, alas: the rain pours on. At least it’s good for all those daffodils that are blooming!

Urban Craft Uprising – Winter Show 2011

by Sara McNally | December 8th, 2011

We made it back from our Florida trip just in time to set up for the Urban Craft Uprising winter show! We did the summer show this year, so we assumed that we knew what to expect. But instead… holy 10,000 people, Batman! Our expectations were far exceeded – the amount of people in attendance was astounding, and we were busy all day, both days. We really had a great weekend. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who came out to see us!

For those of you who couldn’t make it, here are some photos of our booth (taken by our stellar intern, Jenny).

Labor Day

by Sara McNally | September 5th, 2011

Happy Labor Day, friends. Enjoy the long weekend, and wave goodbye to summer as it slips away. This summer has been a crazy season of ups and downs and planning and changes. With all that’s gone on, we’re about ready to say goodbye to our warm, sunny friend and embrace his cooler, more mellow brother. Once we finally finish our moves (home and studio – I’m tired just thinking about it), i’ll be settling in behind my press and welcoming the fall.

This one-of-a-kind letterpress print is available for purchase on our interactive online gallery.
