Website Stencil Kit

I got the above stencil from Sam for christmas, awesome! Researching wireframing techniques now, trying to get in web designing mode for a top secret project coming up in the next couple of months. The JAWS wireframe (left) is the most inspiring so far, by a four year old!

WordPress theme updates

Made a few little changes to Paper, my WordPress theme –

Updates include cleaner code, better looking comments, new graphics and formatting on the date, tags and category, moved sidebar to footer for better SEO and a darker shade of gray in the background.

Launch: littlebirdllc.com

I’ve been working on littlebirdllc.com since last fall. Designed 10 different versions, coded about 6, started in Drupal and ended with Wordpress. Do all designers have such a hard time designing their own business sites? It’s just never right, never cool enough, never finished. I decided on Saturday that this had gone on TOO long. Imagine my surprise when I actually came up with a design I liked right after deciding I just wanted to get something up? Design is funny like that. It’s still a work in progress, but it’s something. Thanks for reading!

Free WordPress Theme, Paper.1

I’ve been using Wordpress for a year or two now and finally decided to create a free theme! It’s fun and simple, one that artists and craftsters might enjoy.

‘wed’site

I spent about a million hours working on our wedsite, I’ve realized in the last couple of weeks that I might like making blogs more than I am like writing in them.
