This past weekend was my grandpa Hanley’s funeral. He was the oldest and last grandparent I had and it was tough to say goodbye to that generation of my family. However, at 97 years old he had ...
I’ve known my friend Dan for a long time and I’ve always admired his stellar illustration style. Since today is his 27th birthday I wanted to share a little project he’s been workin...
A few weeks ago, after days of “Should I? Shouldn’t I?” and picture-collecting, I made the appointment and got the riskiest haircut of my life, nearly 13 inches! It was shocking but...
Chilly days call for bright accessories. Last year was infinity scarves and this year I’ve been knitting myself tons of colorful, semi-slouchy warm hats. Since I started knitting last year with...
Thimbelle is a decorative display face made up of both upper and lower cases as well as numerals. Light line-weights and shortened slab-serifs hint at the delicate and decidedly feminine nature of Th...
These past few weeks have been pretty busy for both Ned and I. After 2 years of running my own business and freelancing I’m starting to look for a full-time gig again. For Ned, after over 10 ye...
Lately I’ve been trying to show my neglected nails a bit more love. Glitter has never really been my thing but a few impulse-purchases-in-the-Sapho ra-check-out-line later and I found myself wit...
This year our New Years Eve plans were cut short due to some pesky Minnesota snow-rain. Bummer. So instead, Ned and I spent the night at home, made a little dinner, opened a bottle of wine and each w...
My first typeface has a name…”Thimbelle 221;! After I asked for some help with a name a few weeks ago, I got so many wonderful suggestions from readers/friends/family. Many of you said ...
I love working through the holiday rush with my favorite Christmas music playing. My December playlist rarely changes year to year with the same mix of personal favorites and classics. I love em all&...
I know I’m slightly biased but I cannot even begin to describe how much I love this video. We had the most amazing videographer, John Hoel…a true video ninja. He was able to craft the per...
Our reception was the day after our wedding and could not have been more fun. Splitting up the wedding into 2 days (ceremony with the family and reception with everyone) was probably the best decisio...
I wanted to share one more piece of the wedding that saved us some money. Programs & flowers. Everything in these pictures we made on our own. The programs were fun to design. I bought bulk pape...
We had a small ceremony in Ned’s family’s backyard, just family so around 60 people. I loved how personal it felt with such a small group of people. It sounds cliché but it really was one...
Over the past year I’ve been working on building my first typeface and I’m finally at a point to share it. Yes! However, it’s lacking one important quality: a name. I’ve been ...
Hey guys! A while back I mentioned that a few changes were coming to my site. Well today’s the big day! I wanted to welcome you to l-belle.com and explain a bit of the back-story behind the swi...
We just got our wedding video back and it is beyond anything I imagined! I didn’t cry during the wedding (success!) but you better believe I started bawling when I pressed play on the video. We...
I’ve been working on a bunch of changes for my little corner of the interwebs and I’m so excited that they’re almost done! I’ll give more details when it’s all finished ...
With the weather quickly changing from golden October to grey November we’re already beginning the great migration indoors. To ease the shock of suddenly chilly temps, I wanted to share a few g...
