Just a quick share. I’ve updated my Spoonflower shop with a new collection for 2025, “Mushrooms.” I’ve also tried to get better about adding coordinating solids, simple blenders, and different scales to all the collections I’ve been uploading. I really like this purple colorway, which was the second color way I did after making theContinue reading “New 2025 Collection”

Gift Wrap Hacks to Take Your Presents from Ho-Hum to Ho-Ho-Ho
I know – we haven’t even made it through Halloween and you don’t even have the brain power to think about Christmas yet. I’m not trying to add to the stress, but I thought I’d write a quick post on creative ways to do a little gift wrapping. Nothing necessarily new, time-saving, or mind-blowing here,Continue reading “Gift Wrap Hacks to Take Your Presents from Ho-Hum to Ho-Ho-Ho”
Motif Monday
I mentioned in my last post that I’ve been focusing on a few Christmas designs. These are part of a pattern called “Cozy Whippet Christmas Eve” – I really wanted to call it “Not a Creature was Stirring”, but thought the title should more accurately fit the image. For the search engine. (eye roll). IContinue reading “Motif Monday”
Christmas in July
Well, I’m feeling a little just a little happy with myself for setting and getting my goals accomplished for the holidays. Though I took it a little easy on myself by working with what I already had and focusing only on what I can get done in a day, I am not beating myself upContinue reading “Christmas in July”

It was so satisfying to enter into my zen flow and create something with my own two hands. Bonus if I then sold it! It’s been a long time since I’ve putContinue reading “Making the Old New”
Mini Collection Reveal
OMGOSH. I know this is a lot. I was pretty excited when I received the Fill a Yard sample of my Geometric Bats mini collection from Spoonflower yesterday. I am so happy with the way these came out, even the tone-on-tone dark print. I have a thing for monochrome prints where the pattern is soContinue reading “Mini Collection Reveal”
Sneak Peek Part Two
I wasn’t planning on doing a part two, but, here it is! Originally, the river scene was the hero of the collection, but I didn’t like the way the river looked once the pattern was repeated and scaled. I removed the river completely, which gave me the pattern from yesterday, which also gave me twoContinue reading “Sneak Peek Part Two”
National Thread the Needle Day
Though my sewing skills are pretty remedial, I have a bit of an obsession with fabric (and paper) and I like being able to choose the right print for the right project. No matter how simple it is. I love that if I can’t find what I’m looking for, I can easily make a designContinue reading “National Thread the Needle Day”
Monday Mood Board
As I stated in previous posts, I’ve been having too much fun finding ways to use these prints and motifs on a variety of products. I decided to put together a mood board with a few of the colors and prints I thought would work well in a room for a preteen or a child.Continue reading “Monday Mood Board”
