I thought I was done with blogging. I started this blog as with very little sense of direction. And I thought it would be fun. I never expected "followers." When I found that I had them, and that some of them were taking my blog more seriously than I was, I didn't like the pressure. I just wanted to share cool stuff, but I didn't want anyone holding me to some kind of standard. But standards we must have, whether we are in denial about it or not. So I have to re-establish my reason for having a blog at all, since Pinterest is now filling my need to "share cool stuff." Since I started Jeanie and Jewell, my little company, The Paper Nut has attracted quite a bit of success. Now I find I need this blog. It is my little piece of self expression on the web, and I now see how it is a vital place for sharing my work in a way that allows for more dialogue than Pinterest offers. I have no drive to gather a massive following; this is still more for me than anyone, and I would rather feel free to blog at a sporadic pace. Though I still don't describe my blog as ambitious, I do have a sense of purpose. So please come visit and leave comments, as my purpose is to push The Paper Nut forward with increased force. I truly value the feedback and ideas of others. And that's why I still need this blog.
(BTW, Follow me on Pinterest <a href="http://pinterest.com/thepapernut/boards/">here</a>)
So, that being said, up for your consideration is my next line of products. My husband, Travis, and I bought a Yudu screenprinter over a year ago and have never used it. In our current desire to make The Paper Nut more of a real career, I feel ready to get it out and make something happen. I have long wanted to create throw pillows. As little cushy tactile art canvases, they are probably my favorite decorating element ever. Here are some quick-and-dirty mock-ups of what I hope to create. Let me know what you think.

Who doesn't love owls? They never seem to go out of fashion, despite the fact that we really should all be sick of them by now. So here is my contribution to the owl pool. Each of these will be 8X10" ($20 each), but I will make larger versions available if there is interest (8X10's always sell the best).<br />I've also decided on some new color options for my Mermaids. The single baby girl with the Mom is the best seller, so I've made those in a few palettes: taupe/yellow, pink/orange, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/95471216/mermaid-mother-child-coralfuchsiaolive">coral/olive</a>, and lavender/blonde.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT3ZETXGP-0nSR3swI6nNP5qU1jmuVBoiZCoGZnwoFeXZMe9L_AXy8TdPs2wMhF538DNdWoWoCuwH4E6v1pLmOvDyCzB0azVuNFo5zSu9lZzwfgUY7qAdA14iWD7SMHta5pNbGOzSoBVU/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-03-17+at+10.26.55+AM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT3ZETXGP-0nSR3swI6nNP5qU1jmuVBoiZCoGZnwoFeXZMe9L_AXy8TdPs2wMhF538DNdWoWoCuwH4E6v1pLmOvDyCzB0azVuNFo5zSu9lZzwfgUY7qAdA14iWD7SMHta5pNbGOzSoBVU/s400/Screen+shot+2012-03-17+at+10.26.55+AM.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720917380295086146" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg_RCWIAjRkZgbLPRMIbLxshJRGzcmnEGdJK7GZieGG3Wkh5qWL6lKm5Aj9qrJDPyCiL6FWgS6Gq8ENCIfhgdNq07wplV89kulceyjQJK4KvyRahpQXtme65uQHQ7VtbpHTbcceI6Kyv0/s1600/il_570xN.321115270.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg_RCWIAjRkZgbLPRMIbLxshJRGzcmnEGdJK7GZieGG3Wkh5qWL6lKm5Aj9qrJDPyCiL6FWgS6Gq8ENCIfhgdNq07wplV89kulceyjQJK4KvyRahpQXtme65uQHQ7VtbpHTbcceI6Kyv0/s400/il_570xN.321115270.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720918032495711954" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNP466GrjbqKE-CESPPxtZRlZcWk6H9CwZfPbrsqIPRdEVz2ug8S4RXvF-BH9TCmmHfw7dxGoXlhPsRqA4QJpSky9-LBj_E5pCKP-tW3GzO0nfIxTGRJrWYdaPMUPXTzf1qE2PMfyw_S4/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-03-09+at+4.53.53+PM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNP466GrjbqKE-CESPPxtZRlZcWk6H9CwZfPbrsqIPRdEVz2ug8S4RXvF-BH9TCmmHfw7dxGoXlhPsRqA4QJpSky9-LBj_E5pCKP-tW3GzO0nfIxTGRJrWYdaPMUPXTzf1qE2PMfyw_S4/s400/Screen+shot+2012-03-09+at+4.53.53+PM.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720917682244023586" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZ-qa2aivDzvmqX6AlJsDe5yYK2O3U0yfy3SE9m13qPw6Y88zwpCDLKif5VHPEpAkzJ8i0edJtreyp9HztJB3Pg0bYejzYAuHopcYDNW8MUVwZuZ8N7d_rHPKeEUwGEvALxAEfelihtE/s1600/Mermaid_BlondeLavendar_LR.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZ-qa2aivDzvmqX6AlJsDe5yYK2O3U0yfy3SE9m13qPw6Y88zwpCDLKif5VHPEpAkzJ8i0edJtreyp9HztJB3Pg0bYejzYAuHopcYDNW8MUVwZuZ8N7d_rHPKeEUwGEvALxAEfelihtE/s400/Mermaid_BlondeLavendar_LR.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720917589641537794" border="0" /></a>There are still boy options available.

I am flushing out all my current inventory (everything is on sale) and as soon as its gone I'm going to close the shop for an undetermined amount of time. I'm currently working on illustrating a children's book with my Aunt, and I want time to create new art. I haven't even filled a sketchbook in a long time! So someday I'll open up The Paper Nut again, but now is not the season. In the meantime, I'll be showing any new work on this blog. If there's ever anything you wish you could buy, just let me know and we'll work something out.Jeanie Nelsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10336803000234774893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282855616629430061.post-48211767229258765772012-02-04T07:59:00.001-08:002012-02-04T13:08:12.063-08:00- Helen Dardik is My Hero -<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoROxuaABmxoXJ7C5cEEEE-sXaE25bXzOCMXeyxABP8EuijX0Iu-NEbkfYG2OJEYUssDInifAoXIGzsUihe0M7iYpT0XQyXSBGRbVxIEhnNEZNp2mQ48v-Yiv4oamXEoMN_g7xGDw3Eds/s1600/img-2.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Such adorableness. Oilily will always be my favorite kid's clothes. Jewell has several pieces (she pulls it off so well with her red hair), none of which were purchased full price. Shop the store for the sale rack, try eBay, or watch <a href="http://www.zulily.com/invite/jnelson426">Zulily</a> (they offer about half off the previous season when they feature Oilily, but they go fast the morning they post them so prepare to wake up at 6 am). This stuff is so quality, so in my opinion one Oilily dress is worth at least 4 other dresses.Jeanie Nelsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10336803000234774893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282855616629430061.post-22932284049905388982012-01-20T10:47:00.001-08:002012-01-20T11:22:30.252-08:00< Kate Spade Dresses ><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7mpLGkgwO5WU-6Vs_5430DjE-zX0H0NcJq7si5tPYnhEWkv3TTkgqSmjjhLHeVj4bWg7gVm1VE2lXo7RjkxiLq7nHoh6gBGIHM0Bj_YIC03xSt_rQVDPZmu3A5hLTSYOpDy_d4pxfCu0/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-01-20+at+10.51.47+AM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 330px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7mpLGkgwO5WU-6Vs_5430DjE-zX0H0NcJq7si5tPYnhEWkv3TTkgqSmjjhLHeVj4bWg7gVm1VE2lXo7RjkxiLq7nHoh6gBGIHM0Bj_YIC03xSt_rQVDPZmu3A5hLTSYOpDy_d4pxfCu0/s400/Screen+shot+2012-01-20+at+10.51.47+AM.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699787971384995378" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBWxd5JsKj0JP7YNO5vlxNGcS8VeO7raUBi1jrRRW3_NG5sf_Z8xOzaTJ1cm4W2XVfRhSabXboAGy6v7sSLDOT7kDJR1cVSdh1L_31OCU8gZB5bi5wmEZi78RRctMDVLY9CTPcF27W3fw/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-01-20+at+10.51.26+AM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 339px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBWxd5JsKj0JP7YNO5vlxNGcS8VeO7raUBi1jrRRW3_NG5sf_Z8xOzaTJ1cm4W2XVfRhSabXboAGy6v7sSLDOT7kDJR1cVSdh1L_31OCU8gZB5bi5wmEZi78RRctMDVLY9CTPcF27W3fw/s400/Screen+shot+2012-01-20+at+10.51.26+AM.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699787968154816578" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiigniaFK0UgNaLN2okwnm7Sr70V-lQwqBdPLnVdNqa7kN5xMOJlqr2tqQ1PX1mavqsyFc3Qb3F2_0ep9f4r3NYaIFu7Q9xkU4WM-Ek2lxZedAGwCeu7qMRCVbCKDlDKzajQt6bhb-L4K4/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-01-20+at+10.52.46+AM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 303px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiigniaFK0UgNaLN2okwnm7Sr70V-lQwqBdPLnVdNqa7kN5xMOJlqr2tqQ1PX1mavqsyFc3Qb3F2_0ep9f4r3NYaIFu7Q9xkU4WM-Ek2lxZedAGwCeu7qMRCVbCKDlDKzajQt6bhb-L4K4/s400/Screen+shot+2012-01-20+at+10.52.46+AM.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699787978183339922" /></a>I can't afford these <a href="http://www.katespade.com/designer-clothing/clothing,default,sc.html">dresses</a>, but maybe you can!

Right now I'm like Pinocchio in his wooden puppet phase. I don't have a day job to quit, but I want my little Indie line to pull a real income and become something that has a solid presence in the design world. For now, I'm raising preschoolers and trying to get half of our unfinished house finished. Anyway, these "Quit Your Day Job" articles on Etsy are fantastic. I found this one from Kin Ship Press really inspiring because she talks about how she didn't have to qualify for a loan or credit card to get started or have a ton of income saved (she was living from paycheck to paycheck). That was very soothing to hear, because I've often whined that the only reason some people make it is because they are married to Andy Spade, have a lucrative background and/or are founded on an amazing previous career.

So how stoked was I to spy a little add saying they are having a great sale at the <a href="http://www.crocs.com/home/homepage,default,pg.html">Crocs</a> website: Buy one, get one 50% off. Yay! No code necessary AND freee shipping. YAY!! I was amazed at all the color and size options they have in stock, seeing as how the pickin's have been slim at other retailers. Remember if you order that they run a full size larger than most shoes.Jeanie Nelsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10336803000234774893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282855616629430061.post-80674148886944741882011-12-07T07:08:00.000-08:002011-12-09T10:51:29.356-08:00- get them while they're here -<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisGr6nMqV3zHq9i00lVGu9ZHGx7ugrE5XQ7QlgJvE456bCtIZTeBCBh7MncnBfXkjFYnMFCKi53N2g_fn1TCAhMVpDgY9sMtAu7FDI01NTlnZMq4SSSxSsMgjz4ghjlH7xZNk-05qT6Wo/s1600/6070040580052.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisGr6nMqV3zHq9i00lVGu9ZHGx7ugrE5XQ7QlgJvE456bCtIZTeBCBh7MncnBfXkjFYnMFCKi53N2g_fn1TCAhMVpDgY9sMtAu7FDI01NTlnZMq4SSSxSsMgjz4ghjlH7xZNk-05qT6Wo/s400/6070040580052.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683404411227287506" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjXc2iH61hfTftlM4ElozihIubz2srX7WqA5X4K2MZ2bINjL2upxQUsuJc09BcP4zYU8gH2t9z2khF_V7oW3_VEnR-ujHdLiU1bejaIpbt2PlexaEeVqqha2PihkiRF8SYwEYNErmOgfc/s1600/6070040580050-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjXc2iH61hfTftlM4ElozihIubz2srX7WqA5X4K2MZ2bINjL2upxQUsuJc09BcP4zYU8gH2t9z2khF_V7oW3_VEnR-ujHdLiU1bejaIpbt2PlexaEeVqqha2PihkiRF8SYwEYNErmOgfc/s400/6070040580050-3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683404027086380066" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhB3hbm5MthUux8iq_oUez-R64URw9_xSVF3XrWoYLIXBDL8vHWJZr5e7MHM8-dUefn4l0d8Y-8DgssdyItMzBE0xJ7b4neQkHBElw_HIwbUq54gh7oWx9Xo9mfJx8P-r1E9z0441074o/s1600/6070040580050.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhB3hbm5MthUux8iq_oUez-R64URw9_xSVF3XrWoYLIXBDL8vHWJZr5e7MHM8-dUefn4l0d8Y-8DgssdyItMzBE0xJ7b4neQkHBElw_HIwbUq54gh7oWx9Xo9mfJx8P-r1E9z0441074o/s400/6070040580050.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683404030307021090" /></a>So I have already ordered 4 of the dolls from the <a href="http://www.disneystore.com/disney-animators-collection/mn/1007201/?CMP=EMC-eml&att=20111207_LDToysPlushFS&RRID=15680754">Disney Animators' Collection</a> (Aurora, Snow White, Ariel, and Cinderella), and let me tell you, they are the cutest dolls ever.
