Garden Glee for the Nursery

This sweet little snail illustration was one I did for the #motifdaily prompt.  I fell in love with these little characters and this pretty color palette.  My first thought was how adorable a nursery collection would look centered around these cute snails. So, I finally had some time to design a collection and I LOVE IT!  Introducing "Garden Glee".  I would LOVE to see a sweet little babe surrounded by these precious and soft patterns. xx 

Gloucester Schooner Festival

I am in LOVE with this new collection I named "Gloucester".  I was really inspired to create this collection after participating in the #motifdaily boat themed prompt hosted by fellow designer, Ayat Elamrawy of Patternopolis.  Do click on the link to visit her website and see her amazing work.  :)  

Majestic, elegant, awe-inspiring...I am fascinated by these big beautiful sailing vessels!  I dream of visiting New England and touring one of these gorgeous ships! As it turns out, Gloucester, Massachusetts hosts the "Gloucester Schooner Festival" every labor day.  How incredible would it be to see the horizon filled with a multitude of schooners?!  Bucket list item for sure! xx

It's just another Mock-up Monday

I decided to play a bit with mock-ups today.  I combined some new patterns with some of my favs and found some pretty sweet photographs to work with.  Here is the result!  Which is your favorite?  Happy Monday!

Hoot Hoot Reboot...

As much as I like my other owl, I felt like it needed to be softened up for a child's room.  Here is my new little owl that is cute as can be.  I also went with a softer and brighter color palette that is perfect for a boy or girl. Hope you like my Hoot Hoot REBOOT!  LOL. xx

Think Spring! Hello Lowenna!

Doesn't this collection just scream SPRING?!  This is probably my favorite color combination!  I love this clean, fresh color palette. It really makes me LONG for SPRING!!!  I chose the name "Lowenna" because it means JOY and BLISS.  It also has such a fresh and youthful ring to it...just like spring. I put together a few mock-ups to showcase this joyful collection.  Hope you enjoy it!

Introducing Estrella...featuring Pantone color of 2018 Ultra Violet

Pantone Color of 2018 Ultra Violet

With a few additional patterns my "mini" collection is now complete.  I picked the name "Estrella" which means "star".  Before starting this collection I was not a huge fan of purple colors.  This collection forced me to research various color palettes that included the color ultra violet.  I really LOVE how this collection turned out and I am truly loving this color palette and the way the ultra violet draws me in.  I also decided to play with some mock-ups to see what the collection could look like in real life.  I would totally buy these items!!  I believe I am an ultra violet convert.  Who would have guessed?!  LOL!  Here's to many more surprises in 2018!!

These would be the sweetest summer dresses!! 

Seriously LOVING the way this collection looks together...AND I really love that Ultra Violet couch!

Swoon worthy mocked up on fabric!

What could be better than fresh picked daisies and a bowl full of fresh blueberries?

With Christmas behind us and temps in the negative digits, I have decided to set my sights on summer inspired prints and illustrations.  I am feeling the warmth already!  Two of my all time favorite things that remind me of summer are daisies and blueberries...and oh how pretty they are together!  Wouldn't these patterns look lovely on tea towels and sun dresses?!  And, who doesn't need a summer backpack to take on a hike or to the beach?  I would love this backpack!  Bring on the warm weather....PLEASE!!

O Little Town

I haven't had much time lately for drawing or designing, but I was able to put this little collection together just in time for Christmas.  Here are some fun mock-ups I made using the patterns from the collection.  The wintry palette and snowflakes make me want to hunker down with a cup of hot cocoa and a cozy blanket, put the Netflix yule log on, and get in lots of snuggle time.  :)  Wishing all of my friends and family near and far a very Merry Christmas...and a HUGE THANK YOU for all of your encouragement and support!  xoxo
