HELLO AGAIN! PLUS : FONT FEST! (PART TWO)
Hey y'all!
I really tend to hibernate in the winter, especially when the weather goes from so so cold to cold as the dickens! Here in DC that change happened in the past week or so, and as a result I've mostly been holed up in my house under blankets.
&you know what that means!
No?
It means : wasting spending so much time digging through the internet!
During a recent dig, I stumbled upon this post on Pikaland which turned me onto this legitly badass typography resource on the legitly badass (and legitly in spanish) neo2 blog! They feature loads of unique lettering styles by loads of illustrators &designers.
LOADS!
I wanted to share some of my favorite fonts (which are freeee to download!) and barely got past the first page of them before having way too many for sharing to be reasonable.
So instead of all my most-faveys ( way too hard to pick ), I instead give you this little taste test of what you'll find on the site :
{ psst.. I highly recommend you click this pic so you can see these fonts in BIG size. worth it }
Agadulce by Luis Vicente Hernandez Gonzalez
Nico (shown : Nico Medium) by Ipsum Planet
Minimeter by Anton Studer
Goodbye (shown : Goodbye Black) by Anton Studer
Isosibilia (mistakenly shown as Iso Type) by Rodrigo Fuenzalida
Laser by Oscar & Ewan
Motion (shown : Motion One) by Anton Studer
{ p.s. 'font fest' heading is in Pee Pants Script via this post on Poppytalk }
{ p.p.s. image under sample text is the design from my Reckless Pumpkin Flat Note Set available in my Felt & Wire shop }
*****
p.s. i have green hair now!
It's pretty fun. I feel kinda like a vegetable.
In a fun way!
I decided that if I were a vegetable I would be a haleychoke. Just makes sense.

FONT FEST!
Due to an acute case of insomnia last month, I managed to add over 25 new fonts to my obsessive collection..
&then I realized that I should share the wealth! { plus that helps me justify the amount of hours I spent looking at fonts.. }
also: One of my goals in life is to:
a) find, & b) hang out next to: the Tumtum tree!
from the Jabberwocky by Lewis Carrol...
Yeah.. I think about that old tree a lot.. { hence the text in the font samples }
..Right. Chew on this! { these! }

BIG NEWS & SOMETHING SWEET
hello lovelies!
before i get to the rest of the post, i want to thank you all for the comments about my organizational folders! i really love comments, i always want to know what you think... i mean since the blog is essentially me just talking at you it's really nice when someone else joins in the conversation, ha
AND
since you asked, i will have a download of my organization/procrastination folder for y'all early next week!
i can't offer the narwhal folder, unfortunately, because it's the same design as a card i sell in my etsy shop, but i'll try to rework the image into something new since everyone liked it so much...

and now for my BIG NEWS :well, it's big news for me anyways
Justin and I just confirmed that next month we'll be moving to the UK!!
He got into the phD program at Cambridge and will be starting this fall.
I'm extremely excited/terrified/excited to move so far away. We also have a few other friends going to Cambridge this year so that should make it even more fun. SUCH A BIG MOVE!!!
