Jen Corace : Alice Apple : Artsyville
Hi Everyone -
Although my Mom told me that I was a very good sleeper as a baby, it's not something that I do very well, now. There have been many times when I've felt like I was dozing all night. Finally, it got so bad a few years ago, I went to a sleep specialist (she would be very unhappy about un petit studio in our bedroom), and it helped me. So, if you find yourself having a restless night, these favs won't put you to sleep, but will surely keep you company.
Have a nice weekend! xo, Cindy
Art : Artsyville's doodleprints always seem to say it better than I ever could. I won this one in Aimee's giveaway to celebrate the opening of her Etsy shop. Yay!
Blog : Jason Santa Maria is a graphic designer with a beautifully designed, thought provoking blog. Be sure to check out his daily photos.
Music : Imogen Heap's music is sure to sooth you.
Read : Jen Corace is a favorite illustrator and her prints are hard to come by. But, you can pick up Amy Krouse Rosenthal's book Little Hoot illustrated by Jen. The book is about an owl who actually wants to go to sleep, usually the opposite of what kids want to do.
Toy : Alice Apple's handmade Mini Sausage Dachshund's are about as cute as you can get short of having a real dog.
Great picks! I am a huge fan of Imogen Heap, she has the most amazing voice! The toy dachshund is adorable! I am off to check out those artists you mentioned, I love finding new art! Thanks for the recommends! You guys have lovely taste:)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Cindy! Thanks for this amazing selection to help an insomniac pass the unslumbered time. :) I just love Aimee's work, especially her contribution to the Unattended! project.
ReplyDeleteLove this list. And the Artsyville print hits the nail on the head. Though these days, at least for me, the question has been "Why do all the really great ideas come after the project is over?!?" C'est la vie.

I am a "single woman" on friday nights (he plays music) and I am always looking forward for new things to read so this list is perfect! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI adore Little Hoot :) I bought it for Andrew because of his fascination with owls. It's too cute! Have you read the Little Pea? Very fun!

I'm sorry you have trouble sleeping sometimes, that is the worst feeling.
