Not all couples would jump at the chance to work together for a living. But K and I think it’s fabulous.

K is the artist. I can offer her critiques and encouragement, but K is the mastermind and talent behind the work that ends up in our etsy shop. I take care of the non-artistic side, like mailing things out and answering customer questions.

There are some exceptions. I get to make the notebooks after she’s stenciled the panels that become their covers. I’m the one cutting and scoring and folding all the paper and stitching it together.

And there are occasional other odd jobs I can help with. Like K’s come up with a new notecard to make, which will be great for winter or holiday cards. And for the design, she needs tiny paper snowflakes to reference. So we spent our morning side by side, scissors going, both cutting out little snowflakes.

Stay tuned for the finished cards…
