Good afternoon.

Five new backgrounds have been added to the site.

There’s a new wallpaper. It’s available in six sizes, including wide screen.
I’ve had this woman’s face on my computer for what seems like years now and I could never figure out what to do with her. The graphic is based on a photograph of a Mexican actress that I saw in a book back when I was taking Spanish classes. I have tried my best to identify her, but I’m no expert on classic Mexican cinema. After pouring over pages of old black and white photographs, all the actresses start to look alike; they all have the same hairdo and thin femme fatale eyebrows. If anyone knows who she is, please let me know.

Thanks to Google, I discovered that my wallpapers are only useful to 25% of my visitors because many people now have wide screen monitors. In an effort to keep up with the times, I’ve added a few wide screen versions of some of my older wallpapers. If anyone has any requests for a wallpaper that fits their monitor, just leave a note with your monitor size and I’ll try to get it up soon.

I’ve added 12 new icons, a few of which are below.

There’s also six new iPhone wallpapers over at my Flickr site.

Yours,
Sarah

I’ve added five new backgrounds:

Also a wallpaper:

One of these days I am going to figure out something productive to do with all my designs besides just post them on the internet. I feel like this website is kind of a hole-in-the wall.

Love,
Sarah

Hello.

I’ve added a new wallpaper, available in three sizes, and here is a preview:

There are five new backgrounds, as seen below:

The Gallery Hanahou show closes on the 27th, so my crazy little embroidery adventure is just about over.
For some inexplicable reason, my Price is Right embroidery went a little viral. It got a mention from BoingBoing, Pop Sugar, CRAFT, BuzzFeed, and a whole host of other blogs. It also wound up (albeit very briefly) on the front page of the Huffington Post, between pictures of Obama, Jesus, and Bono.

And with all that press, this website got more hits than a Cheech and Chong movie.

I really didn’t see that one coming.

Greetings!

My "Price is Right" embroidery has sold, but the other two (Dr. Phil and Star Trek) are still available for reasonable prices through Gallery Hanahou’s website. Click here to see the shop.

Yesterday was Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday, so I thought I’d make a little President’s Day wallpaper in honor of our 16th president. This design is available in five sizes, including some super-widescreen versions.

This new wallpaper has doodles of all 44 presidents, including all the boring ones that history seems to have skipped over, such as Millard Fillmore, John Tyler, and Franklin Pierce. Preview the wallpaper here, or click these links:
1024×768 | 1600×1200 | 1280×800 | 1920×1200 | 2560×1600

I hope this is enough of a dose of presidential history for you.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Lincoln!

Sincerely,
Sarah

Two new wallpapers are up.
Also I’ve got this cool new printable that lets you stick smiley faces on everything you own. Observe:

Oh, and if you like any of the patterns I’ve been posting here, then you might be interested in purchasing some super unique fabric from my Etsy shop.

Happy New Year!

Happy holiday greetings!

I’ve added one new background and one new wallpaper. The newest wallpaper fits into the possibly running theme of ‘adorable-animals-that-look-like-paper-cutouts,’ and now I know the joy of spending a Saturday night trying to draw lipstick (à la Clara Bow) onto a cartoon reptile.
I’ve also uploaded some brand new holiday gift tags. I don’t suppose gift tags are all that useful one day before Christmas, but there you have them.

There’s also a small collection of iPhone wallpapers available on my Flickr account that you are free to download. Since iPhone wallpapers are only useful to a small percentage of the population, I’m posting them in the Flickr pool to give them a better shot at exposure. I myself do not actually own an iPhone, so somebody has to please tell me if these things actually work.

Also, now that this site is a blog I feel a little obligated to find some good ummm… blog friends. The other day a lovely site called iDIY gave a shout-out to my little Christmas Stationery collection, and I somehow got an email in my inbox telling me they had linked to my site. I think my own blog emailed me. There’s probably a technical explanation for this, but I’m going to go ahead and assume it’s ***BLOG MAGIC***!!! My point is, if you or someone you know has a kooky graphic design website and wouldn’t mind being associated with this place, then please leave a link in the comments.

Happy Holidays!

Two new wallpapers, and one new background.
One of said wallpapers answers the age old question, "Do bears crap in the woods?"

The answer is: Occasionally.
Also there’s this wallpaper, which is bound to confuse.

That’s all for now.

Howdy, visitors.
Two new Christmas stationeries have been posted.
One new wallpaper.
44 new icons, mostly in the color section.
Also two new backgrounds.

Enjoy!

Hiya.
One new wallpaper is up.

That’s pretty much it.

One new wallpaper, one new background, and some updated (and super easy) linking buttons so you can show off your love of this site.
