  • The 4 x 6 Exchange: The Circle is Complete

    You may remember this post a little while back of my contribution to the Art House Co-Op’s 4 x 6 Exchange Project.  Well, a few days ago, I received my special piece of exchanged artwork in the mail. Not knowing at all what was inside, I was very excited at this little envelope. Aside from…

  • A Not-Really Tutorial: Quick Tote Bag

    I’ve been pleasantly swamped in Designland lately. I know, I know. I say that and then I show you nothing. Feel free to roll your eyes at my senseless teasing. I’m clearly heartless. But here’s the good news. I do have a mini impromptu okay-it-could-be-a-tutorial-but-not-really-because-I-measured-nothing-and-eyeballed-everything-so-I’d-need-to-send-you-my-eyeballs-so-you-can-make-one-exactly-like-this tote bag. If nothing else, this shows you a fun quick…

  • It’s Springtime…Mexico Springtime!

    Two years in the making and my popular ‘Mexico Springtime’ Otomi-inspired design has now debuted in one of its most awesomesauciest forms yet: a beautiful woven cotton jacquard throw.   Behold, ducklings: Ooooh, don’t you just want one to wrap yourself in?!?! Scrumptious business going on here. I’m thrilled with how it turned out. Really…

  • Who You Callin’ Cute?

    If you’re reading this post, you probably already know that birds and, specifically owls, are embellishing just about everything these days.  If you don’t know this, then ignorance is bliss. Some years back, when I was the ASPCA’s Creative Director, I was lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes visit of the New England Wildlife Center which rehabilitates…

  • Snap Poll

    With plate-spinning in overdrive at the moment as I toggle between projects, I did wonder about a little something. Maybe you can tell me… Am I the only one who draws like this?

  • ‘A Bear in a Boat’ Musical Crib Toy Tutorial

    Well, I’ve been up to something. I’m finally emerging after having gone into hiding to create a super cute tutorial for you, this time using my Timeless Treasures Imagine That fabric collection. Oh, yes, I know, this last tutorialwas incredibly helpful to you. (p.s. you’re welcome). And because I care so much, I present you with…

  • Finished Recipe Illustration

    Happy lazy Sunday afternoon!  A perfect time to daydream about yummy food, no? I thought I’d share with you my finished recipe illustration that I mentioned last week. Here it is in its final full color form…voila! It’s also in all its glory over at They Draw and Cook. Head on over there and take a…

  • My Desktop, My Brain

    I’m swimming in projects. I have a rubber swim cap on (yes, obviously one of the fancy ones with flowers all over it; I’d settle for nothing else) and am ungracefully doggie paddling my way through things I’ve started working on in hopes that I’ll conquer one or two of them sooner than later. You…

  • More Patterns Debut

    Messing about online often yields little (I’m highly skilled at wasting time in this fashion), but I’m happy to say I found a few fun things worth noting this time. Justice is mine. Looks like more designs from my collections are now available from some more e-retailers. Woohoo!!! You’ve seen the black and white version online…
