Boy, have I embraced color with my entry for the Maximalist Folk wallpaper Spoonflower challenge this week! It’s loud and it’s lovely

In the Weeds
I have literally screeched my car to a halt to stop and take photographs of weeds, so this week’s Spoonflower challenge “in the weeds” really spoke to me!
I mean just take a look at these beauties I snapped when I lived in Pennsylvania!
This photo was my inspiration for my design this week
Hungry Hedghogs: Color Palette- Candy
It is always quite a challenge to stick to a predefined color palette and this week the Spoonflower challenge is to come up with a design using soft colors in pink, lilac and green… all predefined by hex numbers.
Sometimes only hungry hedgehogs having a midnight feast munching on Hydrageas will do!

Neutral Botanical Wallpaper
It’s a wallpaper design for the Spoonflower challenge this week and the prompt is “Neutral Botanical”. These neutral challengers are always pretty difficult for me as I am the queen of color!
Never the less I am always up to push myself outside of my comfort zone, so here is my entry.
I also came up with a different colorway but I decided to enter the green one!
International Women’s Day
Spoonflower are celebrating international Women’s Day for their challenge this week. It was tricky to know what to design for this one so I went a beautiful hair route and incorporated the word “woman” in several languages!
Y2K Clumpy Shoe
The prompt for this week’s Spoonflower challenge, Y2K, threw me for a bit. For me, Y2K was all about how the world was going to grind to a halt because of the date issue on computers not going past 1999. But it seems there is a fashion resurgence of all things from that era so I turned to those clumpy shoes… and yes, I did wear and enjoy them hahhaah
Pocket Challenge
Waking up to -7deg F and a decent covering of snow on the ground here in Chicago, I channeled thoughts of spring for my entry into this week’s Spoonflower challenge, Pocket, what a fun prompt!
Very Peri Pantone Color of the Year
Ohhhh, Very Peri, the Pantone color of the year 2022 and how much I love this color, particularly compared to the yellow and gray yuck we had last year! Hooray for this week’s Spoonflower design challenge!
I created quite a number of designs for this challenge and it was hard to pick which one to enter but I eventually decided on my Lavender Farm
But these hedgehogs were a very close contender
Year of the Tiger Pattern
2022 is the year of the tiger and the prompt for this week’s Spoonflower Challenge.
I took a whimsical approach and created a pattern that would be super fun in the kids decor arena.
I also created another colorway – Night Tiger Tile
Canned Fishy Fishy Pattern
The prompt for this week’s Spoonflower challenge was Vintage Canned Goods, and this is where my warped mind took me. It’s amazing how my own brain can surprise me! My better half is like ” No! A cat can’t fit in a sardine tin” and I am like “Why not”
