I had so much fun designing my entry for the Block Adventure Spoonflower design challenge this week.
I imagined myself chartering a boat from a rouge captain and having an ocean adventure. Oh the place we would go and the fun to be had!
Captain Scallywag Ocean Adventures
It is the first challenge of the 2022 and I am dilly dallying over which design to enter for Ditsy Adventure.
I recently got a space themed design prompt from my nephew which was turned into a duvet cover but on a small scale it works really nicely as a ditsy print.
But I also drew inspiration from the ocean and all the wonderful unexplored expanse it offers and created a whimsical submarine adventure.
I think I am going to go for my space adventure … for now.. who knows I may change my mind!
French for “Trick of the Eye” Trompe Loeil was super fun to design for. It also wraps up the Spoonflower design challenges for 2021. I have kept to my personal promise and entered every single one… just as I did in 2020. I will have another round up of how I did in the new year.
Oooh I have never been to Palm Springs but after all the research I have done this week for The Palm Springs wallpaper challenge, I now am itching to visit. What a fun place it sounds!
Every year they celebrate with Modernism Week which includes house tours and all sorts of fun events. I named my design in it’s honor
It was pretty fun doing research for this week’s Spoonflower design challenge, Comeback Species.
I came across the Bermese Star tortoise and when I saw the beautiful pattern on it’s shell I knew this wonderful creature was I wanted to draw inspiration from, for this challenge.
I riffed on it’s geometrical nature and went full geometrical in my design!

I would really love a greenhouse in my garden to extend the short growing season here in Chicago …maybe one day!
Victorian Greenhouse was the prompt for this week’s Spoonflower challenge so I channeled my desire and came up with this – Bountiful Botanical Greenhouse
Love is in the air for this week’s Spoonflower challenge Kitsch Valentine where the prompt is to channel #lovecore, vintage, sweet, sickly and lets face it tacky stuff.
I came up with Valentine Kitsch Birdies
I also turned some of my sweet birds into whimsical stickers!
For this week’s Spoonflower challenge – Quirky Amphibians, I ended up creating two designs and bounced back and forth on which one I should enter!
I ended up going with Frog Swamp Party
Here was my other contender, Frog Pond Band
Let’s hope I made the right choice!
We are back again this week to a limited color palette challenge and unlike the last limited color challenge , the colors don’t send me into the depths of despair. My goodness that challenge morphed itself into a two week creative block. Yikes!
This week the challenge is to create something cozy, suitable for throws, curtains and wallpaper. There is nothing more cozy than soft fuzzy knitwear, my inspiration for this week’s design
The design works well for a throw and curtains… not so sure about wallpaper … it may be a bit loud!
I am not much of a seasonal decorator but when Christmas come around I have amassed quite a collection of shiny things over the years and my house is quite a whirlwind of activity as everything gets unboxed and put up.
This thought was my inspiration behind my design for the Spoonflower challenge this week, Holiday Traditional Toile.
I created my design in a pen and ink style with watercolor washes for a little pop of color. A sweet little blue bird does all the hard work and ties together all my decorating scenarios! It is a modern toile!

What fun dinner napkins the design would make!
As always, if you can be faffed, and I know it is becoming more and more of a faff as these challenges have grown, I’d LOVE your vote.
