This one was tricky. I felt like I fiddled with this design for much longer than expected until I got it just right. I’m glad I did though, because I’m super happy with the result. My “Ride to the Flower Market” collection is now available on Spoonflower (fabric) and Roostery (home decor). I’m loving the […]
Spring is here, and I absolutely love being outside! The budding tree blossoms, nests and birds, growing tulips, and sound of laughter from the kids playing–these things make me so happy. It was about this time, a few years ago, that the idea for my newest book started to bud too. A few years ago, one […]
Summer is getting so close, I can feel it! I’m looking forward to warm sunny weather, lazy pool days, and outdoor barbecues with family and friends. My new design, “Friendly Barbecue,” is all about fun, friends, and good food. I hope you like my silly take on the theme. I’m planning on making a fun […]
Inspired by the Kentucky Derby horse race, my new design is all about roses, horse shoes, and good luck. I really wanted this to have a very painterly, soft feel, and had so much fun getting out my acrylics and making this have a really “watercolory” feel. This design is featured in this week’s Spoonflower Design Challenge: […]
“Tiki Time” Fabric Aloha friends! It’s time to get your ukelele out and your tiki grooves on, and check out the new entries for this week’s design challenge! This week has flown by and I’m posting a little late, but I’d love your votes if you could take an itty bitty minute to check out the […]
The design challenge this week is for the designers to create a cityscape of their individual locale. Right now I’m in Utah, so I chose to create a design of our state capital, Salt Lake City. There are so many fascinating places in the city, it was hard to narrow it down. I chose to […]
This week’s Spoonflower Challenge is Birds and Blooms (some of my very favorite subjects). At this time of year, my house is buzzing with the excitement of Spring. We have birds building nests in the yard and love to peek in and see the beautiful blue robin eggs. This design was easily inspired by these […]
I’m so excited about this “Hexagon to the Beach” collection. The samples came and look so great! I’m so excited! I couldn’t help making a little swim bag for the kiddo’s swim lessons this summer. Featuring adorable little sunbathing beach dogs, beach umbrellas, crabs, popsicles and polka dots. You can find the complete “Hexagon […]
Another fun design challenge theme! I loved reviewing Matisse’s floral paper cutouts stage and getting inspired for my own design. I chose to do a more subtle color theme than Matisse would have probably used, but I loved created some of my own curvy roundish Matisse-y floral shapes. A little Matisse influence to my own […]

I chose to feature the majestic and beautiful Blue Whale as my subject for this week’s Spoonflower Design Challenge: Endangered Species. This design was so much fun to create, and I love making it JUMBO sized. Doesn’t the bedding and wallpaper just look fabulous with the large scale whales? I’m dreaming of a future beach […]
