  • Splendors of Otomi

    Yes, I know, I know, I post quite a bit about my Mexico Springtime design, but you know, sometimes I can’t resist.  Here’s another one of those times. Surprise! But really, folks, check this out…. I’m very happy to announce that Mexico Springtime can now be found in the latest collection by Ann Mashburn!  Care…

  • Print & Pattern Blog Mention!

    Ooooh, nice little shout-out on the wonderful Print & Pattern blog this morning… …but then again, if you’re here, you might have already known that by way of navigation. All things come full circle. Woohoo! Thanks P&P! xo

  • Taking Breaks

    When you’re busy working on projects and need a break, what do you do? If you’re me, you’ll consider eating chocolate like it’s a qualifying round for the next Olympics, possibly take a nap because the baby needs one and you need to keep him warm (even if it’s summertime), or do more work, but…

  • What’s Messier: My Studio or My Mind?

    I think it’s a tie. Nope, nope, actually, I think SK Brain wins for Most Messiest Possession. I have so much going on at the moment that I can’t think straight. Designs and projects and emails and whatever else I need to keep up with. My studio isn’t in top shape yet either. *Collective gasp.*…

  • Weekend WIP

    As the US goes into a long holiday weekend, (I don’t get one this week but will instead be trying to play catch up; don’t most of us?), I thought I’d share a quick glimpse of a WIP I’m currently tinkering with… Somebody seems a bit sour about something, wouldn’tcha say? I’d steer clear until…

  • SK Website Redesign is DONE!

    Well, that pretty much took F-O-R-E-V-E-R to get from the back burner to the front and to actually complete… What am I talking about, you ask? Without further ado, please say hello to the sorely-overdue redesign of my main website! Ta-daa!! Out with the old (flash) and in with the new (smart device-friendly)! If you’ve…

  • Ahoy! A New Pattern!

    In the land of SK Plate-Spinning, I got *one* (only one?!?! grrrr) new thing done. Behold, good people… A sailing-inspired fabric design! It’s called ‘Mariner’s Melody’ and you can see it in all its salt-watery glory here. I entered it in this week’s Spoonflower design challenge and you can go place your votes here! Happy Thursday!…

  • Didn’t Everyone Have a PJ Bear?

    Am I the only one who randomly assumes everyone else grew up with the same things I did? Maybe so. It’s a bit mad on my part as my childhood was such a tapestry of different things, but hey, you never know and I’ve often been surprised. Here’s something I was specifically wondering about… While…

  • Spring Drawing

    I have a stack of on-going drawings that I need to complete, but more times than not, the allure of starting a fresh new illustration often takes over.  Here’s a case in point. But I’m setting my foot down, and mark my words, I will finish what I’ve already started. Seems like a good task…

  • Customer Appreciation: More Mexico Springtime

    I’m telling you, every time I see these AWESOME finished projects from folks, the more and more my eyes dart around my house to see what furniture I can reupholster as well. Just look at what Graham did with my Mexico Springtime fabric over in Amsterdam… And from what he tells me, this is just…
