Believe in Yourself

New in the shop!  Available in three color schemes + a custom color option.

Shop is Open!

Things have been busy around here with this little one...

But I decided it was time to reopen my shop this week.  It feels good to get back to work.  I'm hoping I can keep up with it all...wish me luck!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere Over the Rainbow Print

I just added this design to the shop today, available in three color choices.  Of course, customizing the colors is also available.

It's funny how I have been carrying the idea for this print around in my head for what seems like forever.  Months and months have gone by and I just didn't have the inspiration to put it together.  The other night I was exhausted and dying to get in bed, and the idea for the design just popped in my head.  Of course I couldn't sleep after that.  A late night or two later this is what I came up with, and I'm so happy with how it came together.

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is a favorite song to many, but it's extra special to me because it is a song we chose for our wedding.  I chose this particular verse because I find it to be inspiring, especially for a young child with big dreams.  I am planning on putting a copy of this in the baby's room....I'll share photos soon.

Just Added

Some new work added to the shop!

Butterfly I

Butterfly II

Butterfly III

I actually finished this Butterfly Series a while ago and have it hung in my daughter Lily's room above her bed (see top photo).  I wasn't sure if I was going to add it to the shop, but the more I look each day in her room the more I love it.  I'm hoping you will, too.

I also added the "Miracles" print to the shop.  This was a design I finished a year ago for charity.  It is still a favorite of mine so I decided to make it available for purchase again.

With the move, being 8 months pregnant and chasing a toddler around I haven't had as much time/energy as I would like to create.  I have really missed coming up with new designs and am hoping to find some time in the next few weeks to sit down and put the ideas in my head into Illustrator.  Only a few more weeks until baby girl arrives and the craziness starts all over again!

Bijou!

It's that time of year again!  Sugar Fresh will be a participating vendor at the upcoming Bijou Market.  I participated last year in the Provo show, but this year I will only be at the Salt Lake City show.  I am so excited to see what the other vendors have come up with.  There is so much talent and creativity at Bijou.  Come and visit me on Saturday November 26th at Aspen Landing, 6388 South Redwood Road.  Can't wait!

Recent Custom Orders

I get requests for custom orders almost daily.  Most customers want to match my prints to a bedding set.   I love doing these orders because the customer seems to always end up happy.  Putting together a nursery can be a lot of work, and being able to find some art that matches can be a big relief!

I do quite a few custom orders each week, but I thought I'd share these few recent ones with you:

Here's hoping we'll have more beautiful spring weather like last week, and that it will stick around this time!

Custom ABC's & 123's

I receive a lot of requests to match my ABC/123 prints to nursery bedding. I really love having a visual to work with and always enjoy doing these custom orders. Here are a few examples of the work I've done:

Pottery Barn Kids Brooke Quilted Bedding

Land of Nod All Aflutter Butterfly Crib Bedding

Pottery Barn Kids Eli's Elephant Nursery Bedding

Pottery Barn Kids Penelope Nursery Bedding

Bananafish Nantucket Crib Bedding

(I'm not sure where these last two bedding sets are from)

If you are also looking to coordinate any of my prints with your decor just email me with a photo.  I love custom orders!

Twinkle Twinkle

This is my favorite lullaby to sing to Lily.  Just listed in the shop today, along wth a newly expanded color chart.

Together Forever

I have been working on this design in my head for months, so I am very happy it's finally finished!  'Together forever' has special meaning to me, because in my church we believe that families can be together forever.  I think it would make a great wedding gift or would look nice framed with a collage of family photos.

I just added it to my shop today, and it can be customized in any color.

Sugar Fresh Turns One

Wow, I can't believe it's been one whole year since I opened my shop!  I never would've dreamed my little hobby would grow into a business that I am truly proud of.   I can't tell you how grateful I feel to be able to do something I love.  It's been a fun year and I am excited to see where things will go from here.

Thank you for all of your support!

Art For Molly

This adorable baby is Molly Campbell.  She was born on November 23rd, 2010.  On Christmas Eve she was running a fever so her parents took her to the emergency room.  After hours of waiting and numerous tests, a parent's worst fear became a reality.  Molly was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells that was rapidly filling her little body.  At only 28 days old her sweet life had barely begun.

Molly is two months old now and doing well.  She lives each day at the hospital, undergoing chemo therapy and countless other treatments. She is expected to remain at the hospital for the remainder of her first year of life, if not longer.

You can read more about her story and how to help here.  There are lots of people coming together for fund raising events for Molly.  An Etsy shop called Art For Molly was opened for her cause, and I have donated a design that will be sold exclusively in the shop.  This design was originally a custom order for a mother of twins.  I thought the saying was fitting and would be a good addition to Molly's shop.

To find out how you can help, visit Molly's website.  If you have an item you'd like to donate for the shop or if you want to purchase an item, you can visit the Art For Molly shop here.  The shop is stocked with handmade art, jewelry and baby items from other Etsy sellers.  All the proceeds from sales will be donated to Molly's fund.

Language of Love

Love in 26 different languages.

New in the shop, just in time for Valentine's Day.

Available at Soel Boutique

 You can now find my prints at one of my favorite Utah boutiques, Soel Boutique.  If you're ever in the Provo area you can visit Soel in the Riverwoods Shopping Center.

New year, new look, new website

Things are looking a little different around here!  I decided it was time to remodel... a new look for the new year!  I also have finally launched sugarfresh.com.  It is still in it's beginning stages, but will hopefully evolve with my business over time.  I have a lot of new work I am hoping to add to the shop in the next few weeks, so keep checking the blog, I'll post it here first!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Custom Color Monogram

Now you can make a custom monogram for your child's room or nursery!  New in my shop today.

Bloggers Give Back

Have you heard about Bloggers Give Back?  It is an amazing project put together to help a family in need each year.  This family lost everything in a house fire and were left with only the clothes on their backs.  Donations have been made by bloggers and crafters which will go up for auction on December 15th.  Proceeds will go to the family.  How wonderful!

I am auctioning two 8x10's to one lucky bidder.  As of today there are 43 items up for auction, and more are added each day.  You can give your support by bidding on the 15th!

On Vacation

We are in California!  We have been having a wonderful time soaking up the warm sunshine.

I decided to keep my shop open, although any orders placed through the 10th won't be shipped until Monday the 13th.
(Unless I decide to stay here through the winter, which I am tempted to do!)

Bijou Market Pics

This past week has been an extra busy one, which is why I'm just now posting pictures from the Bijou Market.  The show was amazing!  I was so happy with the turnout and just loved meeting some of the other vendors.  Thank you to all of you who purchased my prints, and also to the lovely ladies who ran the show.  Here are a couple snapshots of my table as well as some of my favorite displays (sorry about the quality, poor lighting.)
