I loooooove Halloween, and I start decorating in September just so I can get the most joy from my holiday decorations as possible. Spoonflower asked designers to work on a Halloween Embroidery pattern this week and it was a lot of fun to make pumpkin, bat, ghost, candy corn, and skull sketches. I went with a few of my favorite sketches into a fun pattern with lots of dashed swirls make this a tight and busy pattern.

Time to pop the champagne 🍾 We feel like celebrating! Our shop is now open. Our walnut is all locally sourced here in Kansas and we love the beautiful grain detail in our live edge chacuterie board and end-grain cutting boards. These beauties are sure to be a statement piece that lasts. Check out our shop.

Inspired by one of my favorite patterns: Space Dinosaurs. I created this cheater quilt to work with my already existing pattern this would also make a neat wall hanging in a nursery or kid’s room.

When I originally came up with this design I thought it would be easy to do, but it proved to be much more difficult to take my hand-drawn lines and make them weave in and out and repeat in a standard repeat pattern.

I loved drawing these moths. Much like butterflies they have beautiful patterns that allow for a lot of creativity. It just felt right to do this in fall colors. (I can't wait for fall and we are done with this hot weather). I would really appreciate your vote at Spoonflower this week.

I made the pattern part first, I loved the cacti with the teal and green accent by the blush pink and gold. I made the art piece with type later. Just summed up my punny feelings in the moment “I am a little prickly” It is okay to be grumpy sometimes. Inspired by my summer llamas pattern from last year.

One more for my dinosaur + unicorn collection—the long necked brontosaurus. I love how the silhouette is made with lots of fun florals. My favorite combination of things: flowers and dinosaurs together are magical.

The monstera leaf trend that has been around the last couple of years doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. I thought it would be fun to do the color block challenge for Spoonflower this week with colorblocks within the monstera leaves.
