It is that time of year again, the Spoonflower design challenge prompt this week is 2023 Calendars.
I looked back over the designs I have created this year to see if any of them would lend themselves to a calendar design and went a little crazy coming up with 6 designs!
This is the one I have entered
Here are the rest! I have also updated all my previous calendars with 2023 dates, the collection can be seen here
I have a bird feeder in my garden and get such pleasure watching the birds come and go. The Birding Spoonflower challenge is one that definitely spoke to me! I went for the water bird route… there is something quite magic about discovering a pond with ducks and their babies in it.
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!
I used to have loads of magnificent house plants but I move around a lot and on all but one occasion, the removal companies have refused to load my green lovelies on their trucks. I think it has something to do with any insects they may harbor. On the one time I lucked out and got everything loaded, an overnight transportation in temperatures of -8 deg F meant that everything was dead on arrival … and any liquid in that shipment was also completely frozen … shampoo, olive oil you name it!
So these days a wall hanging of an indoor garden – this week’s Spoonflower design challenge, is quite appealing!
The inspiration for my design came from the peace a tranquility house plants can provide.
I am not really one for motivational sayings and inspirational quotes but one thing that has been with me my entire life is my love of EXPLORING. I have moved countless times – different country, states and unlike most people, it does not fill me with dread, quite the opposite. Moving has given me the opportunity to explore the unknown and have new adventures!
It seemed only logical that that my lust for adventure became the theme for my Spoonflower Challenge entry this week
Well this was a fun Spoonflower challenge, create a recipe wall hanging.
As a kid I had a really sweet tooth and come Christmas time I absolutely not only loved making but consuming sugar mice!
They are super easy to make especially with kids.
With some of the color limitations of recent Spoonflower challenges I felt the need to have a bit of a riot with color with the 2022 wall Calendar challenge.
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!
After the success of my Eggtastic tea towel in one of the recent Spoonflower challenges, I decided to build out a complete collections which I have called …
The Eggtastic Mrs Chicken collection!
The collection consists of five coordinating prints inspired by my original tea towel and are perfect for kitchen decor.
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!
