Month: May 2022

I like designing twiddly details so when faced with a design prompt ” Bold Minimalism” for this week’s Spoonflower challenge, it was a challenge in more ways than one for me.

I ended up creating two designs and am not sure which one I am going to enter yet.

The first one I created was inspired by those lone black sheep you see in flocks… but I jazzed it up a bit as you can see!

Baa Baa Green Sheep

The second was more abstract

Green Morph

Gosh this was a hard choice but I have ended up going with the abstract one

It is another limited color palette Spoonflower challenge this week and when I saw the bright colors I immediately thought of big fat bumble bees flitting in and out of flowers in their pollinating quest.

When I think of vintage kitchens, farm fresh eggs and chickens pecking at the back door comes to mind – vibing that whole farm to table thing. I ran with that idea for this week’s Spoonflower challenge – Vintage Nostalgia Kitchen

Some designs really lend themselves to coordinate prints and I rustled together a sweet little mini collection

Kitchen Decor

Gosh I was all over the place for this “reworked classics” Spoonflower challenge which asks to see classic designs re-imagined with manipulation and warping.

I faffed around for ages and have in fact ended up with a nice little collection. But it was a interesting stripe with interwoven elements, I have decided to enter. I think it is great for coastal decor hence my choice of names!

And just for fun here were the other contenders

Knit one, purl one, drop a stitch and swear! I have been knitting for years… long before it became “oh so trendy”! It was an obvious choice for my home hobby entry for this week’s Spoonflower challenge.

Lets Knit

This was a fun prompt and I actually rustled up a few designs including some coordinating patterns.
