(art)see Originally uploaded by filthEdesign This was another submission to the Downtown Lawrence Art D(something) for the Final Friday events. The "logo" they chose is less a logo and more a repeated keystroke in Arial Narrow, but hey, the eye of the beholder and all that...who am I to define art...or design... Maybe I'm just a sore loser, but first take a look at the "winner" :) lol :) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Layla McEniry has been running Sweetcakes in Lawrence, KS for the last few years after working in the restaurant/bakery industry off and on for 15 years. Sweetcakes makes cakes, cupcakes and other tempting goodies for occasions of all kinds. You will never find over-the-top fondant covered cakes at Sweetcakes as Layla prefers using all-natural, local and organic ingredients in her delicious creations. Layla was born in Oshkosh, WI and spent the first five years of her life touring state parks with her hippie parents in a yellow VW bus. They settled in Lawrence and Layla is proud to call herself a townie! She is married and raising a teenager daughter.

Working from her home studio in Lawrence, Emily Eakes crafts "hand-carved, hand-printed, hand-embroidered, signed and ready to hang original artworks for the 21st century woman." Subtle and subversive, Eakes' work combines traditional printmaking with images of stereotypical "women's work" to create thought-provoking home decor pieces. "I'm inspired by culture and by the notion that what for some is bad and wrong, for others is good and normal," Eakes said. "I like making beautiful things that are subtly subversive."

Art in the Park this weekend - Lawrence, KS at beautiful downtown South Park 10am to 5pm, Sunday, May 2nd. Over 130 vendors - great gifts for Mothers Day or anytime. If you're in the area, stop by and support local art! Saturday, May 1st - 1st swim meet of the summer long course season. First swim meet with our new team. First time we will be in the same place as our former team - I hope everyone remains respectful and positive. I have enough drama in my life without the swim team getting deep in it. Though the reality is, to us it's a swim team, to the coaches it's their livelihood and we know what it's like to lose and we have pretty strong feelings about supporting people we believe in. Just found out my sister in law has cancer - pretty crazy. It's hard for me to get too worried because I just can't believe an otherwise healthy 36 year old woman could actually die of cancer. It's not stage 1, but it's not stage 4 either - plus it's 2010, sure...
