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”

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”

Sneak Peek Part Two

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”

It’s been interesting to venture down these new paths. I’m really excited to see the original concept begin to take shape and see the story evolve inContinue reading “Collection Sneak Peek”

Bandanas Available Now

After putting in the time to see this collection to the finish, I thought they would be perfect for any fashionable dog (or cat)Continue reading “Bandanas Available Now”

Monday Mood Board

Happy Monday! Well, I don’t entirely understand where this color palette came from, but I actually kind of like it. I may keep it. I have made a lot of progress on this collection so far. I can’t wait to share it. Can you believe it’s June already? It crept up on me so fast,Continue reading “Monday Mood Board”

Monday Mood Board

If it looks a little like a first grader put this together, that’s because I was going for that aesthetic. I wanted to capture the silliness of my youngest dog. He’s such a funny boy. I mean those ears –  he just can’t get them under control. I was also inspired by Memphis design andContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”
