Photo a Day Challenge : January 2012

2012-02-01T07:04:00.000-05:00

I confess, lately I've been really addicted to the Instagram photo app on my phone... I think it's because I stumbled upon this fun "photo a day" challenge! See list below. Everyday of the month you are challenged to photograph something related to that particular day's topic. You can be as creative or literal as you want. What would you take a picture of for the word "sweet"? It's fun to see what other "Instagrammers" come up with for that day. It's not a contest or anything, it's just a fun little daily photo project.

Here are my photos for January. Below each picture are their numbers and titles.

All pictures were taken with my phone.

Well, that's it for January...they also have a whole new set for February. Bring it on! Let's see how long I can keep up with this. By the way, if you're on Instagram, too, follow me : @miramama !!

Have a great Wednesday!

The 2012 Sketchbook Project (via Art House Co-op)

2012-01-13T11:17:00.000-05:00

I participated in this amazing world-wide project called "The 2012 Sketchbook Project" hosted by Art House Co-op. If you haven't heard about it, visit www.arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject2012. To see my previous posts regarding it, go here and here. To view the project's guidelines card, scroll to the end of this post.

Below are photographs of some of my favorite pages. Scanned images of the whole sketchbook to come.* It will be difficult for me to part with. I've become so attached. I knew I would. Probably because it documents a significant part of my life...the time that I was on bed rest (for 9 weeks) while I was pregnant with my twins (who are now a little over 1 month old).

*Art House Co-op will scan my sketchbook pages for the Brooklyn Library's digital archive library!! Will post the link, once it's established.

The bar code, on the back of each sketchbook, will be scanned every time someone picks it up to view. Isn't that cool? So each of the artists will see whether or not their books are being viewed. They will become permanent pieces to the Brooklyn Art Library collection and exhibited to the public, so they won't be returned. I enjoyed doing this so much, I think I'll be doing it again in the future....maybe next time I'll work on a topic that's not so personal and subconsciously doodle or something. You should, too! And if you do so, let me know. I'd LOVE to see and hear about your experience!

By the way...have a lucky Friday the 13th!

These are a Few of My Favorite Things

2012-01-03T20:21:00.000-05:00

My husband must know I adore Anthropologie or something cause everything he got me for Christmas was from there ;-) First off, I'd just like to say, I love their branding and identity overall...but their current tissue paper is to die for. I know I'm a nerd.

Ok. Here are the goodies he got me!

*By the way, just a side note regarding the pictures above: I'd rather eat out of a bowl than off of a plate any day. Aren't these bowls just GORGEOUS? Plus they make for pretty pictures when you're photographing what you're eating hehe...So don't be surprised if you see them on my Instagram sometime soon ;-P

50 paper placemats that you can doodle on! Me and Ellie Bellie have already eaten off of some ;) We still have yet to draw and doodle on them...

Thank you, honey. You're too kind!!

These products below weren't gifts. They're just awesome finds that I tried out for the first time (over the holidays) and happened to LOVE. I'll definitely be purchasing them again, once I run out.

This stuff smells SO good. It's for those lazy days...we ALL have 'em! Yup. All it takes is a quick spray and you're good to go! It's only $5.99 and it was on sale at Kroger for only $2.99 (using your Kroger Plus Card)...STEAL!

My hands have been been super dry lately, probably because of the weather. Just rub this hand salve on (especially your cuticles) and again, you're good to go!

Was Santa (or your significant other or someone) good to you this year? What were your favorite gifts you received? Any good finds? If so, I'd LOVE to hear about it!

More sketches from my Arthouse Co-op sketchbook to come!

Take my heart this Christmas...wrap it with a ribbon and a bow

Prepping Sketchbook Pages

2011-12-15T09:29:00.001-05:00

Somewhere, I've found the time to work on my Art-House Co-op sketchbook this past week! If you're wondering what this sketchbook is all about, click here to read about it from one of my previous posts. The theme I have chosen to document is my recent pregnancy experience since I was off and on bed rest and in the hospital throughout it. Here's a sneak peek of a few pages I've prepped so far. The gridded pages (with red lines) are actual fetal monitor papers from the hospital! One of my nurses gave a huge stack of blank sheets for me to use. Can't wait to share more.

Expressions of A Lil' Stinker Boy

2011-12-11T11:15:00.001-05:00

These little bebes love to sleep side by side. That's actually when they sleep the best. I really enjoy watching them interact with one another. Judging by Vincent's silly little facial expressions, someone's going to be just like his dad... Just thought I'd share this up close and personal perspective. Have a great Sunday!

Introducing Our New Arrivals

2011-12-02T18:41:00.001-05:00

Sorry for the late post...we've kinda had our hands full!

Now introducing our newest arrivals...

After being put on bed rest* at home (since 28 weeks) and being admitted in the hospital for two straight weeks, our healthy fraternal twin babies have finally arrived! Vincent and Jazlene were welcomed to the world, on the day before Thanksgiving this year ;) There's so much to be thankful for. We have sincerely appreciated all of your prayers and support!!

Here are a few pictures from our blurry days and nights here at home...

I'll be sad when Mark has to go back to work :( He has been the MOST AMAZING husband anyone could ask for. What TREMENDOUS help he has given us throughout this whole experience. Through sickness and in health, I know he will always be there for us and I'll always be there for them, in return. I LOVE you, Mahal!! You're the best. We're so blessed! Here's to our new life as a family of five. I still cannot believe I'm saying that.

*Side Note (regarding bed rest): Since I was on strict bed rest for 2 straight weeks, at the hospital, I decided to document some of my experience there. I doodled in my Art House Co-op sketchbook about it. Posts depicting some of these entries to come. Stay tuned ;)

I love sketchbooks.

2011-11-15T11:48:00.001-05:00

My Art House Co-op sketchbook finally came in the mail yesterday! A blank sketchbook can be a little bit intimidating to start (especially when you know yours is going to go on tour around the world), but I'm super excited to dive in! To discover more details about this AWESOME project, go here. To view participating sketchbooks digitally archived in the Brooklyn Art Library, go here. Here's a picture of what came in my envelope from Art-House Co-op ;)

As I start filling up the pages, I will try my best to document my entries and share them with you before I mail it back. The theme I chose was "The First Ever...". Let's see what I come up with. I've been wanting to do this for a while, so I'm extremely giddy, at the moment, to get things started! Let the sketches begin.

Scarves from We Are Owls

2011-11-06T19:53:00.000-05:00

These two below are, some of my faves, from their latest Fall/Winter Collection.

{all images source}

I absolutely LOVE scarf weather! I'm so glad we still have tons of it left. Don't these scarves have the coolest designs? There's plenty more eye candy where these came from. Check them out here at the We Are Owls website. You can most likely purchase them near your hometown, too. To see if they retail in your local area, click here. These concepts make me want to make one of my own! But then again, what am I NOT inspired by?...

My favorite Anti-Color Palette

2011-11-03T23:00:00.001-04:00

Lately, I've been loving all things black and white. This combo never gets old. You can't go wrong with it! Must be the contrast and yin/yang balance. Plus it goes with EVERYTHING.

A. Chevron Design using white, gold and black nail polish (via sugarcoatednails.tumblr.com/)

B. Black and White Chevron Necklace using upcycled furniture fabric (via thewhirlwind.esty.com)

C. Don't Waste Your Youth Growing Up Outfit (via Willabelle on Lookbook.nu)

D. D.I.Y. Hand-Painted Mug using Pebeo Porcelaine 150 outliner (via the Whit & Whistle blog

E. Hand-Printed "Beetlejuice" Necklace (via thiefandbandit.etsy.com)

2011-11-02T09:46:00.000-04:00

Finally! A new album just released from one of my favorite artists, Florence and the Machine. Her musicality hasn't really changed much from her first album. Which I am TOTALLY fine with. Click here to preview and buy on iTunes. I recommend the deluxe version because there are more songs on it. Again, this will definitely be on my birth playlist. So ethereal.

Happy Halloweenie!

2011-11-01T20:44:00.002-04:00

I love prepping for Halloween. Especially the pumpkin carving and costume making! My hubby was sweet enough to get me a pumpkin to carve! He even found a "weirdly shaped" pumpkin because he "knew that's what kind I like." Haha! Thanks hubs! I couldn't decide whether to paint or carve it, so...I did both. Ellie pointed to it and said...."Oooo scaaawie punkin"!

I also enjoy the decorating, baking, crafting and goody bag making, during this time of year. But since we have been so busy prepping for the twins arrival, it's been a nut house around here and I didn't have any time! I didn't get to dress up this year :(... but at least I got to make Ellie's costume with the help of my mother!!! She was the squid from her favorite book (of course), "I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean".

It was her first trick-or-treating experience! My husband and my mother-in-law took her around the block in the wagon! She LOVED it. Waving and saying "Happy Halloween" to everyone :) As soon as they came back, she didn't want to go inside...so she helped my mom give out the last of our candies.

Hope your Halloween was great! I know we had a blast! Til next year... by then I'll have to think of three little costumes to make! Hooray! I'll leave you with this image a "stuffed dummy" spooking the kiddos from our porch! Or wait...is that my dad!? Ooooo...

Ellie's Birthday {Part 2}

2011-10-31T15:43:00.000-04:00

A HUGE thanks goes out to EVERYONE who came and celebrated with us! Ellie had tons of fun and we hope you did, too! And, of course, an even BIGGER THANKS goes to all who helped plan this fun party with me!! You're the best. Oh! And I cannot forget, an special thanks to her "Auntie" Claire, who gave her this book a year ago on her first birthday ;-)

Hugs and Kisses, the Miras!

*Pinterest definitely helped me discover fun "Under the Sea" party planning ideas. Click here to find more. Of course we had to add our own special touches to the details. Do you enjoy planning parties, as much as I do?

2011-10-27T18:54:00.000-04:00

Zee Avi's voice is so laid back and loungy. I'm so glad I've finally discovered a couple of worthy CDs to purchase with my gift card. This album is definitely going on my birth playlist. Go here to preview it on iTunes.

2011-10-25T08:21:00.000-04:00

Yippdeedoo! Just purchased "A Very She & Him Christmas" album on iTunes! Thanks to a saved gift card ;) Click here to preview it and buy it for yourself. So dreamyyyy. I can't believe it's almost Christmas...OK now back to Halloween and Thanksgiving plans.

Ellie's Birthday {Part 1}

2011-10-21T17:57:00.003-04:00

Ellie's 2nd birthday party was a hit! Here's what her invites looked like. They were designed by yours truly (of course)! What do you think? Ellie LOVES anything underwater related! I wouldn't be surprised if she'll want another "Under the Sea" themed party in the future. Mermaid inspired, perhaps?

We based the party off of her favorite book, "I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean". I love how her favorite animals , right now, are squids and octopuses! If you haven't read this adorable book, yet, watch an animation made from it below! Or click here to purchase it on Amazon. It's too darn cute.

More pics and details from the party to come!

Lovin' my new desktop wallpaper!

2011-10-06T19:14:00.000-04:00

There are plenty more desktop wallpapers where this came from! I discovered this lovely illustration from The Fox is Black. Click here to choose your very own ;) They even have iPhone and iPad versions, too. I like to switch my desktop background every once and while. The artist of this particular one is Jared Chapman. Click here to check out more of his work! Have a great Thursday!

Fam Jam! Our Visit to Potter's Ranch

2011-10-02T10:52:00.000-04:00

A few weeks ago, marked the 14th year anniversary of Potter's Ranch being open! So they had a festival to celebrate and we attended! There were tons of fun things to do...like play on the inflatable slides, win prizes playing the carnival games, children's arts and crafts, paintball, zip lining, vendor booths and more! You should definitely check this place out, if you haven't yet! Ellie was exhausted afterwards...and so was this preggo mama!! It's getting so hard for me to walk around all day :(

{copy source}

Once we arrived, we stopped at the Magno Studios booth aka my dad's art booth! We discovered Potter's Ranch through him, because he received commission to paint one of the programmer's portraits with her horse! He was then asked to show his work at this event ;) Here's what his booth looked like!

Off to the petting zoo to see the animals like... the horses, rabbits, and... SNAKES!! hehe This girl wasn't afraid of them :)

Ooooohhh rabbits!

Look at how she's touching the railing. I'm not sure if the railing was hot or if she was being "dainty". Silly girl. Pinky up!

Time to go to the arts & crafts center!

Wait. There's more!? Yup. It's game time...

And the day came to an end...

Bye Bye Potter's Ranch! Til next time...

Squidy!

2011-09-21T23:20:00.002-04:00

Currently I'm prepping a fun-filled post from a certain festivity over the weekend...while that is still in the works...I'll share a little sneak peek with you! My daughter's birthday is coming up and here's a hint-y hint of concept sketches that depict her bday theme ;)

Busy but still inspired

2011-09-15T23:33:00.001-04:00

It's been SUPER crazy over here at the Mira household. First, I had a surgery yesterday to get a cyst removed from my right leg. It was so huge and really close to my knee, that my husband nicknamed it my "third knee"!! It's all stitched up and now I'm limping... On top of that, we've been rearranging and cleaning these past two weeks in preparation for the twins! I'm now 27 weeks and I'm nesting like a mad-woman! Ellie has her own room now that also serves as the kiddies' playroom! She absolutely LOVES it!! We even got the rocking chair back out in the living room. Guess who's "rocking" it? Why, little Miss Ellie Bellie of course. More details, on the rearrange and such, in future posts.

Since we have been so crazy busy lately, I haven't been able to create, design or craft anything, let alone blog... So reading these books, in between breaks, has kept me feeling inspired! These books depicted below are the books I received for my birthday! Thanks Mom and sis!! I heart them ;-)

1. Like I Give A Frock - Fashion Forecast and Meaningless Misguidance: Written by Michi Girl and Illustrations by Kat Macleod

2. Handmade Type Workshop - Tips, Tools and Techniques for Creating Custom Typography: Written by Charlotte Rivers

3. Fingerprint No. 2 - The Evolution of Handmade Elements in Graphic Design: Written by Chen Design Associates

It was difficult to pick a few favorite spreads cause there were so many I LOVED in each book. I really enjoy design that contains both graphic and hand drawn qualities...that's why these kind of books are so inspiring to me! Do you know any other books in this genre that are a MUST-HAVE? If so, please share! I love me some new inspiration! I received some generous bday gift cards from the hubby that I CANNOT wait to use, too! I feel so spoiled lately ;-) Hmmm...what to use these on...

Birthdays are meant to be celebrated

2011-09-04T21:45:00.000-04:00

Here are my thoughts as another year goes by...

My birthday was last Monday and since then, we've done a few things to celebrate! Here are some of my favorite highlights! The weekend before my bday, we visited Columbus! Our First stop: North Market in Columbus, OH! We went there to grab some lunch and sweet treats. Mmmm...

I always get pasta from the Pastaria, when we visit. Me and Ellie shared the Shrimp and Scallop Carbonara. My hubby Mark got Vietnamese Pho and my cousin, Lucy got some Mediterranean cucumber dill! Nom nom nom! We also grabbed some koala cookies for the little one.

Smile! You are at North Market!

And for dessert....chocolate! We couldn't leave without my favorite gourmet chocolate from the Pure Imagination Chocolatier (of course, second and third to my other faves, Aglamesis and Godiva)!

Second stop: The Urban Scrawl located in the Franklinton Arts District! This event displayed mural paintings on large panels, urban art, crafts, food vendors, break-dancing, a kids craft area and more! A shout-out goes to Thea, an alumni friend of mine, who informed us about this fun scrawl! Thanks girl!

Mark, got an official Urban Scrawl screen-printed t-shirt for a souvenir! While we waited for it to get printed, Ellie was "being patient" in the heat... Her thoughts must've been, "Seriously, mom!? More pictures? Right now!?" hehe! She was SO ready to check out the things happening inside the warehouse (which was thankfully fanned)! Here's what the shirt looked like. And Ellie's facial expression!

Finally, we got inside the warehouse and watched some break-dancing! Ellie LOVED it. She even started dancing away. Mark used to break-dance, so he was interested to watch some skillzzz!

There was a kids play area where several volunteers from the Boys and Girls Club, came to play with the kiddies! They set up a soccer goal and a face painting booth! Ellie was surprisingly very still, waiting for her arm to be painted ;-) It was soooo cute watching her get it done.

Here are some more graffiti paintings that were displayed inside the warehouse. I LOVED all the bright colors!

Below are some last minute shots of the panels before leaving. It was fun watching the artists' progress throughout the day. Their panels looked like so much fun to paint...it made me want to start one of my own, right then and there!

After leaving the scrawl, we went to High Street. Third Stop: Pochi Tea Station for some bubble tea!! We're sipping ours in the car cause the parking lot was under construction. Also, they ran out of all our favorite flavors :( (Coconut and Taro). So we had to resort to new ones. Me and my cousin Lucy got Thai Iced Tea with boba and Mark got a Japanese Yogurt flavor. Ellie was KNOCKED out. :) Then we made a quick run to Grandview to pick up our favorite coffee from Stauf's!! I know it sounds cheesy, but Love Potion #9 is our favorite blend.

And after ALL that, our Columbus trip was at an end. But the celebration didn't stop :) On the actual day of my birthday, this pumpkin muffin was awaiting me at my desk! It was a surprise treat from my co-worker, Kelly. How sweet!! It was yummmy. She even put a candle in it. I just HAD to Instagram it ;) Then my boss took all of us out to lunch! We tried Tom + Chee for the first time! It was delicious! Their specialty...tomato soup and different versions of grilled cheese...hence, "tom" and "chee"! I got the Grilled Deli, which consisted of spicy dill chips, roast beef, lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions, cheddar cheese on wheat! Well worth it! Going back for sure.

After work, we went out to our favorite park for some fresh air. The weather couldn't have been more perfect!!

The actual day of my birthday, I enjoyed a wonderful lunch with my co-workers and a quiet evening with my family. Time well spent. Thanks to everyone involved for making my birthday a WONDERFUL one!! You are the best! I'm so blessed to have such marvelous people in my life.

Next post to come... the awesome gifts I got! Yay for fab finds!!

Weekend Explorations II

2011-08-28T15:08:00.000-04:00

I finally get to blog about last weekend's explorations! Click here to see the post that inspired me to experiment. Here are the details of the projects I chose to do. Thanks for checking back in...I know it's been a while :)

The project, below, was inspired by this blog post by Karen Barbe, here. This was the first time I played around with this technique... So my measurements were "guess-timated" and I used doubled embroidery floss instead of thread or yarn. Now that I've experimented and know how this technique is done, maybe a smaller scale circle would've been more successful. But it was super fun, nonetheless!! You never know until you try... I cannot wait to explore more with this technique... ohhh the possibilities!!

Instead of removing the cardboard, once I was finished, like the directions stated, I taped the embroidery floss to the cardboard back to make the strings sturdy and supported. Then I glued the back with paper to hide the taped thread. Adding a magnet button sticker to make this piece a magnet would be cute, too!?

The second project, I chose to explore, was inspired by the Baby Blackbird blog post here. Me and my little Ellie Bellie got to collaborate on this fun project! Since I didn't have canvas, like the directions called for, I just used a regular piece of paper that I had handy. The project also called for vinyl letter stickers...which again, I didn't have. So, I just wrote my own letters, on the piece of paper with the intention to cut out once Ellie created her artwork on it! She had SO much fun coloring with markers!

I also let her go to town with the fingerpaint! I thought the marker lines, by themselves, made the paper look bare. To give more layers and dimension, to the piece, I had her paint it on it, too! Plus, this little kiddo was having so much fun :)

Once the paint dried, I cut out the letters! To add even more mixed media, I sewed the edges of the letters with embroidery thread...just to see what it would look like. I was exploring, so why not try it out, right!?

Since we both had so much fun coloring and cutting, we will definitely be using this technique again! Maybe on a greeting card or something? I still want to try the vinyl stickers technique on canvas because it'll be a lot less time consuming than the technique I chose to do! Have you done these proejcts or any other projects where you've collaborated with your little kiddo before? I'd love to hear about it ;-)

Weekend Explorations

2011-08-22T01:22:00.000-04:00

Fortunately, I had some extra time, this weekend, to experiment on some new crafting techniques! Click here to see one of last week's posts about what inspired me to explore. Here's a sneak peek of which projects we got to play around with!

Stay tuned...more on these to come ;)

Feeling VERY Inspired.

2011-08-18T00:04:00.006-04:00

I'll admit, I'm addicted to Pinterest. Lately, it's really been inspiring me to experiment! I just need to find some free time to play... SOOO I'm making it a weekend goal to at least explore ONE of these techniques/project concepts below. All images were discovered via Pinterest.

{image, blog and project source}


{image, blog and project source} I love this simple concept (below), too... My daughter, Ellie, loves to paint and color with markers...maybe I'll experiment with her doodling all over a page like this...after I put letter stickers onto a surface...I'm pretty sure I'll be satisfied with the outcome once I've removed them! Hmmm... {image, blog, and project source}

Okay, I had to limit myself to chose from three different projects ONLY. It was tough to decide. There's so many things I want to experiment on... oh well. This is a good start, for now.

Do you have plans to work on a weekend project? Are you currently exploring a new material or experimenting with new crafting techniques? I'd love to hear about it! Thanks for stopping by ;) ♥ Lauren

Happy Monday.

I love gift cards!!

2011-08-11T08:03:00.002-04:00

Who doesn't LOVE gift cards!? I recently received two from Anthropologie! One from my friend, Kaleena (from our "accidental" Christmas in July exchange) and one from my hubby (as an anniversary gift)! Thanks you guys! You know me too well ;). First of all... let me say that I adore Anthropologie's presentation and packaging. The details in their branding system are exquisite. Check out their gift cards!

Surprisingly, I didn't spend all the balance on my cards, however I did use it on two things I've been eyeing... the Anthology Magazine (for me) and a Baby Book by Sara Midda (for the twins, of course!).

The Anthology Magazine is sooooo beautifully designed. I enjoy the illustrations, writing and articles. Plus the magazine's Creative Director is one of my favorite designers, Meg Mateo Illasco. Here are a couple shots of my favorite spreads.

I've been in search of the perfect baby book to document the twin's birth and first year... so I was ecstatic to discover this amazingly illustrated Baby Book by Sara Midda. See more of her work here. LOVE it!! Here's what the baby book looks like inside. Seriously, I cannot wait to fill it.

Once I start filling this book up, I may have to post a few pages to show progress ;) Do you LOVE Anthropologie, like me!? Have a great day!

The City Flea & The World's Longest Yardsale

2011-08-08T21:37:00.006-04:00

My sister and I LOVE spending quality sissy time together, as much as we can. We're each other's only sibling ;) Two things we love to do together are shopping and eating! So, once we discovered that the City Flea and World's Longest Yard Sale were coming to town, this past weekend, we HAD to make a day of it! Here's some of the fun things we did that day.

We hadn't eaten lunch, yet, and decided to grab a little something sweet to hold us over. Have you tried StreetPops!? Well if not... YOU SHOULD. Their unique flavors are quite refreshing and extremely enjoyable! The flavor we shared (which we should've gotten our own) was the Ginger Peach Lambic and I must say... it was the perfect combo of a sweet peach with a burst of ginger zing! Yum. Yum.

Here's some more pics of our fab finds from The City Flea!

Now onto the World's Longest Yardsale! But before browsing around, we had to grab some burritos delicioso at Lime Taqueria in Mainstrausse! My sister ordered the yummy black bean burrito as a salad and I ordered the fish tacos! Mmmmmmm...

Now off to the yardsale!

Below are the finds we snagged and went home with! My fave has to be my sister's unique foldable chair find. Check it out!

And lastly, I'll leave you with the finds I snagged...a wagon for the twins! Thanks Sa for helping me lug that thing around ;) & I also grabbed a vintage alphabet workbook. I'm going to rip the pages out and frame them for kiddies playroom! Yay!

My sis and I had an awesomely fun-filled day and we hope to go on one of our sisterly adventures again... soon ;-) Thanks for hanging out and putting up with this preggy lady all day, Sa! I love you! You're the best.

Did you get to stop by The City Flea or the World's Longest Yardsale? If you did, I'd love to hear all about it! If not, how was your weekend? Hope to hear from you and thanks again for stopping by!
