Fun With Procreate

Seems all I’m doing is practicing and taking classes. I feel like I should be a doctor of something by now. I’ve actually been working on a big project that I thought would have been done about 6 months ago. But as usual, there’s another huge learning curve and I’ve had a few technical issuesContinue reading “Fun With Procreate”

National Personal Space Day

I thought I’d share a peek into my personal space for National Personal Space Day. This is where I keep a few of my favorite things. You see the corner where I spend most of my life and my two assistants, who do nothing but fight over who gets to nap in this really sad,Continue reading “National Personal Space Day”

Inspiration is Everywhere

I’ve been moving along slowly in From Paint to Pattern, while I haven’t been so motivated to work on any patterns, I did find some inspiration from my little friend here. It was nice of her to bring a little present too, so thoughtful! I thought I’d put my new Photoshop skills to work andContinue reading “Inspiration is Everywhere”

Wolfsbane is also known as monkshood, but I couldn’t help thinking aboutContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”

In the summer a lightweight scarf is perfect to ward off the chill from air-conditioned spaces. In the fall and winter, they add an extra layer that can be quickly removedContinue reading “Happy National Scarf Day!”

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”

On a Personal Note

I mentioned in an earlier post that August is National Minority Donor Awareness Month. “This special observance honors minorities who have been donors and encourages others to register as donors as organ, eye and tissue donors. In addition, this observance also encourages the public to take better care of their health in order to reduceContinue reading “On a Personal Note”
