Braysen Blue

I am finally getting some boy orders in! This is exciting considering I'm about to have a boy and have to switch my mind from polka dots (which I know I do A LOT) and frilly things to dinos, monkeys, and doggies. Anyway, I made this wipe container for a childhood church friend and her soon-to-be bundle of joy, Braysen.

ARTIST FOR OVARIES
Date: Friday, September 25, 2009

Time: 5-8pm

Location: Courtyard by Marriott downtown (River Market)

Appetizers and Cash Bar Tickets are $10/$15 per couple at the door
If you're interested in purchasing tickets before the event, contact Amy Lasseigne at arovcc@gmail.com

Artist For Ovaries is a Wine/Cheese Silent Auction benefiting the Arkansas Ovarian Cancer Coalition. This fundraiser will allow AROVCC to produce and distribute educational material to the women of Arkansas regarding the signs & symptoms of ovarian cancer.

Several local Arkansas Artists are contributing pieces – including yours truly and my dear old friend Amy Lasseigne, whose mother is an ovarian cancer survivor. There is an estimated 45 pieces of artwork to choose from. Sale prices will range from $40-$800.

Here is my stool that will be in the auction. If you like teal, then this will be a great spot for you to find something. Every art piece had to include teal somewhere on the piece. Some may not have as much as mine, though.

- Last year 130 Arkansas women died of ovarian cancer.

- In 2009, over 22,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer; over 15,000 will die.

- The symptoms are silent, so please listen: pelvic pain, bloating, frequent urination & feeling full quickly.

- If you have had certain forms of hormonal breast cancer you have a higher risk of getting ovarian cancer.

Please come and help support the women of Arkansas .

The Arkansas Ovarian Cancer Coalition (AROVCC) exists with the purpose to educate the public about the signs and symptoms affecting the women of Arkansas . The AROVCC, whose membership is comprised of individuals who each have been personally impacted by ovarian cancer, works to help save lives by disseminating information on the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, ovarian cancer research, and resources available. By promoting professional and public awareness through educational materials, mass mail-outs, rallies, seminars and fundraising events the AROVCC has developed into the driving force against ovarian cancer in the State.

Tutu cute

This tutu was a continuation for a previous client. I made her daughter's newborn tutu out of the same color tulle but made a few changes to the details on this one.

Happy Birthday, Taylor!

I made this banner for one of my oldest friend's little girl who just turned one. It looked great with Taylor's Luau party. Too bad the paper mache volcano didn't work out so well. :)

It's black, it's white, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Sorry for the cheesy Michael Jackson reference, but I just had to get that out of my system after making these wipe containers. I'm so happy to be able to apply my obsession with black and white, though. Moms of boys...I would love to make some things for your little ones, too, so please keep me in mind!

I'm going dot com

Just so you'll know, I have now changed my design web address to be just www.deesignsbyerin.com (I took the "blogspot" out of the address). Hopefully this will be easier for you to remember when you're spreading the word about my products. I'm working on a few new things during my "free time", so I'll hopefully be able to sit down soon and upload the pictures of my new projects.

Don't forget that I'm due October 13th, so if you're needing/wanting anything by around that same time, please let me know ASAP! I have a few projects on my list, but oddly enough, I work better under pressure deadlines, so I can work you in.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!!
