Spring Fever

Happy Wednesday. Lately the weather here in NC has been so hot and humid. The last 2 nights have been super stormy which means Knox ends up hiding in the closet while the thunder and lighting move closer outside. The past 2 nights the storms come and go fairly quickly and we are actually left with some of the best sunsets of the season which I can always appreciate. But I don’t appreciate the humidity :-/ 

I am currently reading George Orwell’s Animal Farm. I have a confession to make. I haven’t read anything by George Orwell, I know I know I think my high school failed me greatly. One of my friends was saying how 1984 was her favorite book and she just reread it and I admitted to never reading it or anything by George Orwell and she was like you have to. So since then I went to the library on Sunday they didn’t have 1984 in stock I opted for something of George Orwell and now I am reading Animal Farm. Speaking of reading, I finally updated my Books I’ve Read list for this year with a little summary about what I thought of each book and a really badly Photoshopped photo of all the books mashed together. Whatev. I think it’s going to be cool to see all the books I’ve read this year in a photo or two and it doesn’t matter to me that it doesn’t look perfect. 

Everything is pretty and green here. I guess I have to thank the humid and storms I knocked in the first paragraph for that. So a small thank you to them. But is really is so beauitful. There are wildflowers everywhere and baby geese following around their parents every time I take Knox of a walk. It really is the sweetest. I hope your day is going well! 

love, Carlee

Kaleidoscope

On Friday, Clark got done with work super early because he won the PT contest for the day. He was pretty excited about it so we decided to go out for a celebratory lunch! We went to Carolina Ale House and I got the mini sliders while Clark got the fish tacos. They also make a mean root beer float which I didn’t  have this time but I have had it before. (On more than one occasion ;))

I got this dress at Target a while ago I thought it was really pretty and a fun dress for spring/summer. Clark said that the dress looked like a kaleidoscope and I was like it totally does! That was probably the inspiration haha. Also I wish I was better at doing my hair in different styles. I was a big tomboy growing up, played a lot of sports and I have 6 brothers and no sisters so it just wasn’t something I did. So over the next few mouths I hope to try out some new hair styles. One that are easy no muss no fuss types, I like this one . Happy Monday.
love, Carlee

Little Sloth Shop: stuff, things, news + coupon

Hey I wanted to share a little bit about what I have been working on for the shop. Nothing super exciting but I realized that I don’t share LS shop updates often so I am here to tell you what I have been doing!

So first I designed 3 new animal mugs and a DONUT mug! I love them all so much. Clark actually did the original drawings on these three animals guys, he is super talented y’all. He said the octopus is his favorite mug out of all the mugs. We will see if his option is the popular option in the shop as well. My favorite out of these is the Donut duh.

I had a huge mug order for over 50 mugs. It was for the goat mug and the customer wanted their play logo on the back which is The Sound of Music. So I got to make 50 mugs for the actors/actress in a Sound of Music production in Ontario Canada. I finished last week and they safely arrived to their destination, which I am super thankful for. I was a tad worried.

The goat mug has actually been super popular which I think it so funny because I wasn’t even planning on doing a goat mug and my mom request it to give to her sister for her bday. So Clark drew up a sketch and he was like goats are so ugly but it’s actually pretty popular in the shop. So Thanks Mom and Aunt Joanette for loving goats.

I have also been working on lots of new cards. I am even designing my first couple full color cards. One of a Christmas one and one is for Vday (2016!) but I am excited to see how they turn out. And I am hoping to add more full color cards to be collection over the next couple of months.

Did you guys to something special for your moms for Mother's Day. I am always suprised to see what card for the holiday is most popular. Two years in a row (2013, 2014) this Mom Youre a Badass card was my most popular mothers day card but this year, to my suprise, this new mom card was my best seller(below). I was happy to see that adding this card to my collection this year was a great choice. I guess there needs to be more funny first mothers day cards. I will remember that for next year haha.

For Father’s Day I got super into lime green. I ordered some lime green envelopes and have been adding the color to some cards here and there. I am loving it and I hope y’all do too. I also made a new graph card. This graph card was very popular last year so when I thought of an idea for a new one I know I had to design it and give it a try.
