The design I came up for this weeks Spoonflower Challenge – Vintage Travel is inspired on where I grew up – Wales. It is a beautiful green land with plenty of opportunity to get off the beaten path where the only interaction you may have all day is with a sheep!

I get so much pleasure from watching the birds visit the bird feeder in my garden. Yes it may cause a mess and attracts pesky squirrels and chipmunks but it is worth it!

I came up with two designs for Backyard Winter Birds Tea Towel Spoonflower challenge this week and ummed and arred about which one to enter.

I decided to go with this one.

This was the other design I came up with.

Looking at them both I don’t know if I have made the right choice on which one to enter… as I write this there is still time to do a switcharoo.

Update

Came in 15th out of 634 entries and received 210 votes!

This weeks Spoonflower challenge was to come up with a tea towel which imparted some kitchen wisdom.

Boiling the perfect egg depends on how you like your eggs and I came up with this design : Eggtastic . I plan to use old clucky the chicken in a repeat pattern design

Now the funny thing is, is that I don’t like eggs, never have and never will. It’s such a shame as they are a perfect food. I can eat them in a quiche but scrambled, boiled, fried or poached them they are a no go!

But don’t let that stop you voting for my Eggtastic Tea towel!

Update

Winner, winner chicken dinner, I placed 4th!

This is my first time designing a tea towel and what fun it was. The Spoonflower design challenge this week is to come up with a 2021 calendar which will be printed as a tea towel.

I have been mucking about with Prairie themed designs and little prairie dogs dilly dallying around in a beautiful floral landscape seemed a perfect way to banish an awkward 2020 and welcome in a fresh new year.

Voting stats Thursday – go on you know you want to vote!
