Mustache Waves

This is my design titled Mustache Waves for the Beards and Mustaches Contest at Spoonflower.  It is nearly summer and it's raining buckets here, and under all of this water I just felt inspired to create a nautical design celebrating facial hair.  Why not? :)

Wooden Wonders

 A new contest at Spoonflower that celebrates our beloved utensils!  My design is titled Wooden Wonders.  I chose to focus on those wonderful wooden treasures.  I felt this post at The Reluctant Gourmet about wooden spoons says it all.  Click here if you would like to check it out.  In this post he talks about why cooking with a wooden spoon is such an important utensil and why recipes actually call for stirring with them.  I always wondered and now I know.



This is the fabric design at my shop at Spoonflower.  With the right kind of material that Spoonflower has to offer this could be made into aprons, potholders, kitchen curtains and more.





Check out Wooden Wonders at my shop at Society6!  I have this for sale as a rug that would be perfect for the kitchen! 

This contest is closed.  Wooden Wonders got 140 votes!  Thanks to all who voted for this design.  I appreciate it so very much.  If you would like to see where your favorites placed please click here.

Monster Photo Booth

A new contest at Spoonflower that involves crayons!  The process of creating this design also involved my 8, 5 and 2 year old too.  I was just going to draw scattered monsters and then my 5 year old said that she felt the monster should have a mustache.  Then the idea of monsters in a photo booth was created.  I drew the monsters and the photo booth props separately and watched as the kids, with much consideration, chose the best prop for each monster.  My favorite part in the creation of this design was just sitting back and watching my kids have fun.  











My little monsters!
