Welcome to The Covered Porch, my place for showcasing my love of creating paper and textile designs as well as up-cycled and re purposed items for the home. I've been designing and redesigning ever since I had my first Barbie Dream House.
My career has taken me from the pages of design magazines and photo shoots to special events and the vintage goods market. Throw in marriage and motherhood, and I just keep learning more and more as life gets fuller.
I gain much of my inspiration from the creative women I know as well as from my family, for which I am ever so grateful. I hope you'll take a look around and find some inspiration of your own. I was sent a notepad with my full name on it. As a mom this was a nice treat as I buy notebooks for myself and Charlie ends up taking them and using them for what ever reason. With this notepad I can tell him no this is Mine it has my name on it. Which he is not going to like. But that is OK as there is now a line of children's notepads and so I can purchase him his own with his name on it. With her her having different animals I can put on the cover I know for Charlie I would pick a cow as this is his favorite animal.
They also have Bicycles which he would like. If Suzanne where here I would have gotten her one with a Crown. I think I am going to ask her if she can make one with a truck or car on it for me to hand out at Charlies Birthday party. I Love the colors and styles she uses on the Notebooks.
I will be looking through her store to see if she carries any Zebra print or pink as I can use them in my Paparazzi business. Another thing she does is she makes Birthday invitations and so with her doing all this it means I can get all my shopping done in one store. I Love this. I can also order them for his Birthday party to hand out in the Goody Bags or even purchase them for the stockings as it would teach Children to enjoy paper and maybe get them back into letter writing which would be nice.
As no one seems to sit down and write letters out. Another item she makes is pillows and I saw a couple I would like to get for Charlie. The ones I think Charlie would enjoy is the dog, rodeo and the horses and they would all go well in his room.
