So I put in my notice at work, but unlike all of you fabulous people who decide to start your own busines… I have decided to return to school! I’ve been planning this for a while, but all the pieces just fell into place all of a sudden, so we’re going for it.
Let’s hope that [...]

Sarah’s Shower Invites
Beyond the insane wind and the abnormally hot day for San Francisco, the baby shower went well! We ended up moving inside when the sun decided to attempt to kill us all (I’m tanned, no!) but overall, I’d say it was a good day!
But before I get into the day… here are the invitations that [...]
Warning! We have issues!
By WE, I mean me. Jen says I’ve gone insane, but let’s just say this was expected because we know how freakin’ nitpicky I was about my wedding. Anyway, beyond trying to convince her to rent nicer chairs (we have to rent so we might as well go for it?) we decided to [...]
Baby Release Party!
I wrote about this on Wedding Bee back in the day, but we threw my friend Jenn a bachelorette party a few weeks before her wedding. The whole thing, manicure at Polished Lounge, massage at Bliss Spa, then a snack at the W hotel where we booked a room for the night, off to [...]
Volcanic Ash = Sad Face
I’ll get this out of the way, it is really sad that there was a volcanic eruption and ash it bad for the lungs and not good for air travel. No one is happy that there is ash-air abound. I am sorry if you are stuck in ash-land. No, not Ashland, Oregon [...]
Process.
I get a lot of questions about the process, exactly what is needed and how we go about making the design. I’ll use one of my latest illustrations, Julia and Bobby, as an example.
*poof* done! like magic!
Wabi Sabi Events
Frances Loves You illustrations are now a part of Wabi Sabi Events! I look forward to blogging about more things… not just about my toilet and how quickly the paint in my living room is drying!

Another play on height!
I love working with couples who are silly. Not that I’m anti romantic couples, I admire sweetness and romance because I haven’t a romantic bone in my body. But there is always fun to be had when you’re drawing two people who are silly and like to play! Yet again, I got [...]
Sweet Inspiration?
The best part of doing this is the people that I get to work with. I’ve had the pleasure of working with so many adorable couples, I feel really lucky that I have had the chance to be able to be a part of their lives even in such a small way.
But… I will say [...]
I’m patient, I swear.
Ok, that’s a lie. I’m the one who checks tracking every few minutes and will cry if I can’t have what I want immediately. Er, so I don’t cry, but I do get whiney. I’ll shake Rob and whimper if I have to wait for someone and you don’t want to be [...]
