Busy Busy Busy....

My little man has arrived and is 10 weeks old already. Marek Thomas was born on October 29th at 9:38pm. WIth that being said I still have managed to find some time for some new projects. This year is going to be filled with all kinds of new work and I'm super excited!

Stay tuned....

In the meantime here is a new pattern I'm working on.

Marek's Little Man Nursery

I finally got around to taking pictures of Marek's little man nursery. I really wanted to avoid making it look to much like a nursery but rather a room that he could grow into. I wish I could take more credit for putting the room together but Cody (baby daddy/husband) released his inner designer that I didn't know he had. He was adamant about the room color and was very opinionated on all the furniture choices. All in all in came together very well. Moxley even snuck in a picture. Now we just wait for him to get here....

Spoonflower

In my spare time I make patterns. Thats what I do for "down" time. I literally have tons of patterns that just sit in a folder... waiting to be on something. So I decided to upload some of them to the wonderful Spoonflower. Enjoy! 

Baby Shower Madness

I can't believe it's September already. We have had a busy summer of moving, hail storms and baby doctor appointments.  Here is a quick list of updates:

1) We moved

2) Baby M is due November 3 which is approaching quickly.

3) Getting a nursery together is way more difficult then I ever thought.

4) I really want a giant pumpkin spice latte ( but will refrain since caffeine and pregnancies  don't really go together).

5) I have a ton of new work to share with everybody!

6) Last it is almost baby shower time. My mom and my mother in law are both throwing me showers and I refused to let them buy those cheesy invites, so I made some.

 Happy Almost Fall!!

Some like it hott!!!

Who doesn't love siracha? It's spicy, delicious and really adds an extra punch to mac n cheese. Here is a sneak preview at my latest addition to my condiment series titled "I go good on everything." It still needs some minor tweaks but is almost done.

 These should be up in my shop very very shortly but if you just can't wait email me at amandaellenlesh@gmail.com and I'll put you down for the first batch of this digital print. Tea towel to come in August (we're moving so sorry for the delay). Enjoy!

These will also be added to my shop as digital prints as well as tea towels. Perfect for any condiment lover.

Coming soon to an Etsy near you... Ketchup

Here is a little sneak peek at my latest project. These bad boys are almost ready to go to be sold.  I'm doing a series of condiment tea towels that would be perfect for summer BBQs. Mustard is also on it's way. I'm hoping by Monday to have both of these for sale.

If you are interested in getting these before hand email me at amandaellenlesh@gmail.com. I'm selling them for $15 for a tea towel and $10 for a paper print. For a set of Mustard and Ketchup tea towels they will be $26.

Enjoy!

My Wedding Invites...Just a couple months late!

Finally here they are! I've been meaning to post these for months!  My wedding invites from last summer. Most brides stress over dresses and other frivolous things that come with weddings. I stressed over these! It took me a month or possibly longer to finalize these bad boys.  

I had probably 50 other options before these and none of them felt right. Being a designer I felt a lot of pressure to have bad ass wedding invites. Not only that but I really wanted invites that visually represented Cody and I.  After about two weeks of struggling I wanted to throw in the towel. I realized I was trying way to hard to design great invites and forcing trendy designs that just were not me. 

An amazing stoke of luck came when I was playing around with this fish hook pattern. My fiance, at the time, walked in and said "That looks cool!" Coming from this man that is a huge compliment. He never comments on my work because he says he's "artistically challenged." The rest just fell right into place.  

So here they are, my fly fishing and rose wedding invites. Letter pressed by Dunstan Press in Gorham, Maine.

Dreaming Big Pattern

A new pattern I designed inspired by 1960's awesomeness meets modern redneck. Enjoy

Some New Work

I've had some really great projects over the last few months that I wanted to share.

More to come.

Post Wedding

July 21st came and went and I'm offically Amanda Brady now. I finally got to see it all come together, all those months of stressing, pinning, blog searching and coloring came together for a imperfectly perfect wedding day. It was exactly what I had envisioned and I can't wait to share all the pictures especially my wedding invite pictures! Sadly I won't be getting my pictures for another week or so, so until then I am creating some patterns inspired my honeymoon to Cabo. Starting with this cactus illustration I did! Enjoy

P.S and yes the Brady Bunch theme song was played at least once at the wedding.
