Catch Up: July 2012

>>  Thank you to Eunice & Sabrina at Hello!Lucky for featuring my work on the Hello!Lucky blog. I've long been a fan of their designs so I'm really flattered by their kind words.

>> This wedding I posted about in January was just featured on Style Me Pretty. The expanded image gallery is worth a look because this wedding is a beauty, not to mention staggeringly large, with 400 guests and 24 bridesmaids. I will never forget calligraphing the 500 envelopes for this couple, which involved converting every flat surface in my studio into a drying rack, and a lot of ice for my wrist!

>>  My friend Jessica Marquez of Minature Rhino – embroidery artist, photographer, crafter extraordinaire – is publishing a book and you should all pre-order it ASAP! The book is called Stitched Gifts and while it will be released by Chronicle Books in October, it's available for pre-order at Amazon now.

>> I almost literally ran into Karl Lagerfeld rounding a Paris street corner today. To me, this is an update worth mentioning.
