Ooooh this was a fun Spoonflower challenge to design, Retro Bugs
Retro Ladybugs and Friends. I went for a retro color palette and some 1950’s inspired graphics for a retro/vintage feel.

Farm I spy: Baby Play Mat
Gosh this Spoonflower challenge – Baby Play mats was quite a bit of work, but a lot of fun to do. My 42″ by 36″ design is full of farm fun! Farm Fun I spy Playmat
Hunt for a farm cat, rosy red apples and a chicken with her eggs. I actually could have gone on and on hiding things in this design!
My design also repeats and is a super fun design for a wallpaper accent wall in a kids bedroom.

Peachy Keen
I messed around with two designs for this week’s Spoonflower challenge, Stone Fruits
The first design I created has a graphical modern feel but after sitting on it for a few days I decided as much as I liked it, it may well bomb in the challenge.
Makes a fun table cloth!
So the I took inspiration from the a design I created for the Charcuterie Board and came up with Peachy Keen. It features slices of peach, cherries and raspberries ( which much to my surprise are considered a stone fruit!)
Nature Gnomes Pattern
I am not a huge Gnome fan but I put my own little twist on my design for this week’s Spoonflower challenge. My nature loving gnomes have some avian friends they enjoy feeding – Nature Gnomes
The design would make fun curtains for a little kid’s bedroom.
Red Trail- Hiking Pattern Challenge
My inspiration for this week’s Spoonflower challenge – Take a Hike was the fabulous few years I lived in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania and I hiked every trail I could find. The countryside there is peppered with Amish farms, beautiful old red barns and the mighty Susquehanna River. I LOVED the adventures I had there.
Let’s Hike the red trail celebrates all those miles I put on my boots!
Verdant Vegetables Pattern
I don’t really understand why some folk do not like vegetables, there are some many to choose from.
This week’s Spoonflower Challenge is Vegetables and Herb gardens and I decided to focus on just vegetables because I assumed everyone will be drawing lavender! My design features all my favorites – asparagus, carrots, cabbage, peas, onions, beets and green peppers, a some tools of the trade. A watering can, garden fork, pair of wellies and a sweet chicken to keep you company as you do the weeding.
I actually faffed around with a lighter color version of the design but have decided to go with the dark version as I think it will stand out more.
World Waterways Red Paddle Design Challenge
Ooooh this is an interesting challenge, creating a pattern that celebrates the world’s waterways which will be used on a Red Paddle paddle board. These inflatable paddle boards are super cool and I would be thrilled to bits to win one.
My entry is Wacky Water
Here it is mocked up on a Paddle Board
Rainy Day Clouds Pattern
Weather patterns is the prompt for this week’s Spoonflower Challenge and I went for simple abstract clouds and rain. Rainy Day Clouds
It looks fun on the newest Spoonflower home decor product, wall hangings
Rainbow Fruit Platter Board
My year long personal challenge of entering every Spoonflower contest sometimes sees me facing prompts that really don’t speak to me and fill me with dread! When I saw Charcuterie Boards I literally went urrghhh. But when I started sketching things out the design flew out out of my ipencil, it was so much fun!
Rainbow Fruit Platter board features juicy lovely fruits… yum yum.
It would make such a fun tablecloth… you wouldn’t need any food hahahah!
I’d love your vote!
Jungle Nights Pattern
Moody Tropical Flora Wallpaper oh yes, there’s a design prompt that spoke to me and here is my design for this week’s Spoonflower challenge, Jungle Nights
A rich and downright moody wallpaper design in a 36″ half drop repeat
