Creekside on a Lazy Afternoon

Take an lazy afternoon hike along a babbling creek and discover the beauty that nature holds.  Spy birds building nests, hunting for food, and teaching their young to fly.  The sweet fragrance of wildflowers fills the air and transports you back to your childhood.  Ripples in the water dance with the reflection of the hazy sun, and LIFE is abound everywhere.  The gentle wind rustles the leaves as they call out your name.

Nature...take a walk and take it in.

Inspired by nature...Introducing "Creekside".

fresh fieldbloom in the fall

Finally finished fieldbloom!  Such a fresh colorway to make this collection POP!  :)   I know I should be focused on fall and Christmas patterns, but this collection was just calling to be completed! OK...now I need to focus on FALL and Christmas!  Still LOVE this "fieldbloom" collection!! xx

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.  

Positively Poppies

Ruby red is my absolute favorite color!!!  Plus, I really adore poppies!!!  Here is another older sketch that I put into repeat and created a pattern.  I tried to show some depth with this pattern using the watercolor brushes.  The brushes are really forgiving and pretty cool to use for highlights.  I am loving these poppies!!!  Happy Good Friday!! xo

Blooms, Butterflies, Bees and Bugs

I had some fun tonight playing around with watercolor brushes in Photoshop.  These are some of my older sketches that really needed to come to life.  With flowers starting to bloom, trees beginning to bud, and bugs zipping around outside, I finally decided to color these sweet sketches.  I really love how they turned out and had a blast learning the brushes!  Bring on more blooms and balmy temps!!

Ruby's Tulips Pillow Collection

This sweet collection I created with my daughter Ruby will be perfect for adding a bit of "Spring" to your home decor.  I will be adding "Ruby's Tulips" to my Society6 shop in the near future!  Please check back for updates.  Happy Saturday! xo

Ruby's Tulips

Introducing another collection with my sweet Ruby girl!  My inspiration for this collection was the adorable tulip pattern that she designed.  Of course it seemed absolutely perfect to name this collection after her, "Ruby's Tulips".  Because my girl loves bold bright colors as much as I do, I kept the palette fresh, bold, and bright. I LOVE how it turned out!!  Hope you do too!  xo

"Dance of the Butterflies" Collection

The snow has melted and the "Cheeseburger" birds are singing!  With temps in the high 50's I am thinking and drawing BUTTERFLIES!!  I chose a very fresh and happy palette to give this collection life.  It just makes me smile when a new collection comes together. I can't help but "THINK SPRING"!  Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!!

Dance of the Butterflies

Doesn't this pattern just say "HAPPINESS"?!  The temps are getting warmer and the days are getting longer!  YAY!!!  So excited for Spring to get here!!  Hope you enjoy this little bit a "HAPPY" to start your weekend! XO

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!
