The Very Best Mother's Day Bouquet

I hold a very special place in my heart for dandelions.  They are the first real POP of color in our yard every year.  Truth be told, I love seeing them spring up with their vibrant yellow blooms.  It always warms my heart when my kids pick me a pretty little bouquet of dandelions.  The flowers may not last long, but they are abundant.  Dandelion bouquets have always been one of my favorite Mother's Day...or any day gifts.  

Because it is -25 degrees outside...

 with a windchill of -50, and my car won't start, and I don't want to freeze my face off, and I am still in my PJ's, and I LOVE to design pretty patterns.  

I have been in full on Christmas mode lately and have had no time to draw or design.  So, I decided to take some time today...after making gingerbread houses with the kids...to sit down and get my design mojo on. My son Gabe even named this collection for me.  I think he picked the perfect name!  Hope this collection brings you a bit of warmth on this wintry day.  

I would also like to thank all of my wonderful followers for their support this year!  It is truly my passion to design beautiful patterns that will bring a smile to people everywhere!  May the joy and peace of Christmas surround you and your family!

Merry Christmas!!

The sweet smell of rain

Spring is in the air!  I absolutely LOVE this time of year when new life is abounding. Gentle rains give way to rolling thunderstorms.  The brown landscape is once again flourishing with lush greens and delicate flowers.  The sweet smell of rain and earth fills the air.  YES...I LOVE THE SPRING!  My newest collection "Showers of Flowers" was inspired by the beautiful spring.  I hope this collection brings a smile to your face!
