Since April, we’ve been working with a realtor in the Northwest. Our collaboration began after we completed custom house sketch moving announcements and a 5″ x 7″ print of the realtor’s own new home. Since then, we’ve illustrated several homes for her clients including this set of custom moving announcements.
We really enjoy drawing homes and seeing them come to life through letterpress printing. We are so thrilled with this collaboration and look forward to illustrating many new homes!
We live in Austin. Quirky, fun, beautiful Austin. There’s so much here that I finally decided to put together a list + keep track of things we want to eat, see and do. We’ve accomplished quite a few things as denoted by the double arrows. However, there’s lots more for us to cross off. This list is loosely categorized to meets our needs, and I expect this list to grow as we learn of new [to us] places. I’ll come back to this post to edit + cross items off as we go.
So tell me. Do you have any suggestions for places we should add to our ultimate Austin list?

This happened yesterday. She’s been going two days a week since she was 16 months old. However, yesterday she moved up into what we had been calling the four year old class [which it's not, oops!]. She is very excited. Ah, this is all happening so quickly!
This weekend, we decided to take Em bowling for the first time! It was a lot of fun. But my has it changed since we were kids. I remember having inflatable bumpers. And if one person on your team needed bumpers, everyone got bumpers. Now, they automatically raise and lower so that only the person that wants them gets them. And how about that ramp? Makes it much easier for a three year old to bowl!
As you can see, we’ve been quite busy sketching + letterpress printing beautiful homes! Here’s the latest one we’ve completed for custom moving announcements. Congratulations A + C on your lovely new home!
Oh, and PS – we’ve added our popular 5″ x 7″ custom house illustrations to our Etsy shop. You can find them here. And bonus! If you purchase a 5″ x 7″ print along with moving announcements, the house sketch fee is waved for the print. Contact us for details.
Here’s another gorgeous house we had the privilege of sketching for custom moving announcements.
Congratulations B family on your beautiful new home!
Sorry for the blog silence. We’ve been so busy! First, we spent three weeks visiting family. Two weeks at the lake house and one in Louisiana. Then, we wrapped up a lovely custom wedding suite order. I can’t wait to share it with you!
In the meantime, here are some custom house sketch moving announcements we recently completed. Enjoy!
This happened recently. Em’s first sail with her sail-loving-daddy. The wind died down as they were coming in but Em loved it all so, so much!
Hope you have a happy weekend!
