Fieldnotes Font

At Valentine’s Day three years ago I was able to first share my Fieldsmith font when it was used on several heart day cards. Today I am excited to share my second font collaboration, Fieldnotes! Created by Josh Scruggs (a fellow KU alum!), this casual script comes in two versions (one textured, one smooth). This font is named to accompany my previous font as it also nods back to my maiden name, Fields. I’ve noticed Fieldnotes used on some recent Hallmark social posts as well. I can’t wait to see all the ways designers will continue incorporating it into their work!

Val Paper Wonder Lettering

Last Valentine’s Day my very first Paper Wonder cards that I collaborated on arrived in stores and since then I’ve been lucky to have the chance to create mono-weight laser lettering for several cards, including this new Val diorama. Other examples include these Thanksgiving and Love cards. This just might be the card I give to Dale this year!

January Around The Web

The first month of a new year is always an exciting fresh start — especially this year! Between unfathomable lows leading up to inauguration day and the joy of seeing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris sworn in, this month was a rollercoaster for our country. Personally, I got back into the swing of working from home after a holiday break, embarked on my first ever Whole30 with my parents, and celebrated Dale’s immunity day after his second Covid-19 vaccine!! I’ve also been analyzing and organizing my house — basically a New Year’s tradition. Around the web I loved seeing this sustainable DIY:

  • I’m also really loving browsing for antiques online. I love this piece Mackenzie found for her home!

  • After my Whole30 month is officially over (just a few more days!) I know I’ll have to do at least a little baking. Maybe these cookies? Or my weird recent craving, key lime pie?

  • On a healthier note, two of my favorite Whole30 approved recipes: Jambalaya and Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai

  • Feeling much more patriotic as this month comes to a close!

  • And I LOVED the inauguration fashion. Fancy coats are my favorite, I wear my bright red J.Crew one all winter long.

  • Not so patiently waiting for these lamps to arrive for our bedroom.

  • And I’ve been loving our new humidifier, and so have my dry eyes.

  • Someday I would love to upgrade my IKEA desk I’ve had for years. This one is a contender…

Here’s to Peace and Health in 2021!
