Kawaii Veggies

Oh, hi there! It has been a few weeks since my last post, and I hope you are all having a great 2013. Did you make any resolutions? On Jan 1st I vowed to eat more veggies, so they have been on my mind for the past few weeks. Since my older ("and more beautiful" at least that was what she taught me to say as a toddler) sister sent me a gently used juicer, this has been pretty easy. It does feel as though I am sending the veggies through a wood chipper, but that is part of the fun of it.

Although I'm thinking about veggies everyday, juicing is not my reason for featuring a carrot as today's post. One of my dearest friends lives on a farm in Hawaii and is expecting her first child. A few months ago she asked if I would draw some kawaii veggies for her farm stand. I said yes and then procrastinated. As you do. Then I figured if she could create a person, I could draw a carrot. So here is my first veggie. I will be doing a series of them throughout the next few months and will post when possible. I'm making the new little one a onesie with this design and am going to add the words "Fresh from the Farm" or something similar to the pic. If anyone out there can think of a cute and clever caption feel free to message me. Thanks!
