Artist // Modern Calligraphy + Illustration Made in the Bay Area, California
Today, I want to share some images of a little fox that I drew for a dear friend who is expecting a new baby.
I used the illustration as an art-print but also on a onesie.
Since I also enjoy sewing and creating things with my hands, I chose to use the same baby fox illustration as an embroidery.
I drew this little fox thinking in this new baby that’s coming to a dear family of friends of mine and all that love made it an extra special and enjoyable project!

So my “baby” is 3 years old now!
Wow! I still feel that the 1st year went super slowly, from that moment to the 2nd birthday it went a little bit faster but let me tell you… From his 2nd to this 3rd birthday time flew!
We are still new to San Jose, CA so we didn’t throw a party this year but still we decorated the house and prepare a special cake for him.
The theme for this celebration was: Cars and Trucks.
I prepared everything the night before so he could wake up and find the surprise (that’s why the picture has no natural light!).
I designed some silly signs for the juices and the cars.
In case you like this idea, I’m giving away the free downloadable the Interstate 3 Sign file and also the Yellow Sign (this last one is in spanish).
The wooden name-train from his 2nd birthday party was still useful for the table but I didn’t display the main engine.
This little guy was so surprised in the morning when he found his “birthday table”…! The picture is terrible but that’s the best I could do at 6am!
The trucks candles from Wilton were great addition to the most amazing buttermilk “tire cake”.
Happy birthday my sweet boy! <3
¡Mi “bebé” tiene 3 años!
Yo aún siento que su primer año de vida fue súper despacio; luego entre el primer año y los dos años fue un poquito más rápido pero entre los dos y los tres… ¡Guau! ¡El tiempo pasó volando!
Todavía somos nuevitos en San Jose, California como para hacer una fiesta de cumpleaños con invitados, así que decidimos celebrarlo entre nosotros solamente, decorar la casa y preparar una torta especial.
El tema de su cumpleaños fue: Autos y Camiones.
Preparé toda la decoración la noche anterior para que Marco despertara con una linda sorpresa de su “mesa de cumpleaños”.
Diseñé estos cartelitos graciosos para pegarlos a los jugos y a los autos.
Si les gustó la idea, se los doy gratis para descargarlos e imprimirlos directamente. Los carteles amarillos en español lo descargan en este link Yellow Sign y los carteles de la Interestatal 3 genéricos que creé lo descargan en este link Interstate 3 Sign.
El trencito de madera con su nombre de su fiesta de 2do cumpleaños me sirvió también para la mesa pero le quité la locomotora y el vagón trasero.
Mi pequeñito estaba super feliz con su sorpresa! El camión de cartón y los autos porta-cupcakes son de la colección Construction Party de Meri-Meri.
Las velitas de camiones de Wilton fueron perfectas para la torta-cubierta ¡más deliciosa que jamás he hecho!
¡Feliz cumpleaños mi dulce y hermoso Totó!

Dear friends,
I’m so happy to tell you that I’ve decided to offer a bigger variety of products on my online shop at Society6.

More designs are being created and uploaded in the upcoming weeks.
I want to say thank you in advance for sharing this post with your friends and family and thanks for shopping at my online shop! Your money becomes coffee giving this mom the boost to create more art! 😛
Thanks folks and happy shopping!
Cards.
Pillows: This pillow would look lovely in a nursery.

Tote bags.
Kids T-shirts: The perfect match, kids and unconditional love.
I’ve been searching and it seems that this phrase correspond to Gretchen Rubin. It’s one of my favorites sayings and it can reflect multiple things in life, like motherhood for example.
“satisfaction consists in freedom from pain” a. schopenhauer

Some of my friends who have seen me doing my grocery shopping loved this so I want to share it with all of you, maybe it can help another mom/dad out there.
Since I don’t have a car neither a driving license yet, I do my grocery shopping within a walking distance from our apartment.
So, every time that I go to the grocery store, I grab a basket and attach it to the stroller.
After I pay and leave the store, I put the heavy stuff in the storage space of the stroller (juice, milk, cans, etc.) and hang my reusable bags from the hooks on each side of the stroller.
Pretty useful 😉
