  • Rainbow Twirl Skirts for Everyone!

    I just posted something about this over on my Facebook page, but I couldn’t resist blogging about it real quickly here. I completely adore the fact that my Rainbow Twirl Skirt fabric kit has been so well received and loved by both young and old. Here are two brilliant cases in point… I mean, COME…

  • What’s On Your Nightstand?

    I used to read a fair amount before having kids. Like actual novels, whatever those are. Now for the most part, I’m busy doing other things up until bedtime. And when that time comes, I pretty much pass out.  But within the last year, I’ve gotten a few great textile books that I love to…

  • Illuminated Inspiration

    I absolutely love when customers share their finished project photos with me of all the wonderful things they make with my fabrics. I’m always curious to see what something will be turned into. I don’t always get to find out, but when I do, it’s really exciting. So when Camille DeAngelis posted this lovely bit of…

  • Grass Picnic Blanket

    While I’m still plugging along with other projects, I thought I’d show you something I made not too long ago, as it’s a seasonal goodie that we’ll be enjoying every picnic day we have left until the onset of cold weather. What is it, you ask? Why, a grass picnic blanket of course! I’ve had…

  • ‘Good Drawing Hand’ Days

    Well, alrighty then. I think this time it’s fairly safe to say that I really did fall into a hole. A drawing haze of a hole. I’ve been working on a couple commissions along with new textile designs and have simply fallen into a sketching and drawing and using-up-of-ink-pens haze. I’ve got a stack of almost,…

  • Hello, Etsy Labs!

    Hihi! For the record, I have not fallen into a hole. I know you thought so, but I’m here! I’ve been consumed with working on a commission (which I’ll tell you about soon) and all that other stuff that summertime brings. You know, insane record heat waves, multiple beach trips, racking up hours upon hours…

  • Fireworks Hooded Beach Towel

    With the 4th of July on the horizon and our heading to the beach like many folks do this time of year here, I had the epiphany that I wanted to make The Bub his very own hooded beach towel to bring along. You may recall that I had used the black version of my…

  • Sticks & Spots, Stripes & Dots

    Here’s a little bit of fun news I didn’t get the chance to share last week…. I won Spoonflower’s latest design competition last Thursday!!! The theme?  Geometrics. (photo courtesy of Spoonflower) My answer? Sticks & Spots, Stripes & Dots! Ta-daa! This was a two-color specific, palette-restricted challenge and although I typically gravitate towards more saturated colors, the…

  • Strike!

    I’m SO excited to reveal a new design that just debuted at Spring Quilt Market in Kansas City last month. Remember this tease? Well, be incensed with me no longer, for the dangling carrot has been removed from its string and is now being handed to you in all its Big Lebowski glory: I’m very…

  • Yummy Printed Things

    I often get asked about where I get things printed, so I thought I’d share my current love affair: moo.com. They aren’t paying me to advertise for them, which really shows how much I love their products.  Case in point: my business cards. Just look at this lusciousness!  The quality is marvelous and the color/printing…
