calliespondence: what's all the buzz

isn't it funny what you can find that will inspire you? my friend cassie found a dress for her toddler-aged daughter in the mini boden catalog that she loved - it was purple with a brown and yellow bee on it. well, she being the ultra-creative gal that she is, thought that a little bee party with that exact color scheme would be cute for her 2nd birthday, and she was right. i love how it turned out, and can vouch that this party was just as sweet as it seems!

see that little wiggly line - obvi where the bee has just flown? it's the darndest thing. every time i draw something like that, i do it one time. i think - hmm, that's alright...but i'm sure i can do it better next time. twenty iterations later, the first one is still the best. always.

the party was held at a park in morningside (a fab neighborhood in which to ogle beautiful and historic homes if you're into that sort of thing) on a sunny april day...i love a good park soiree!
