makes my eyes happy . . .

Where did November go... I need an eight day week to fit all my 'to do'. Poor Mr. Blog. Neglected.... but not forgotten. A shot of colour into it's pattern arm today with this vibrant childish rhapsody. The theme was - all that makes my eyes happy.  

poetry for the eyes . . .

This pattern started with a good thought... it's like a little poem. A visual poem.

KidKit launch . . .

I'm pleased as punch to share this bit of news with you:)! Brand new, cute and super practical travel cases and pouches by kidkit (featuring patterns by yours truly) are now available! If you ever travelled with kids... you know you need one!:) 

floral fireworks . . .

Sharing my flower fireworks with you to celebrate the existence of democracy and failure of extreme greed!:)

making it . . .

Autumn. Many people love it. Much has been written about it's beautiful sadness... but, I'm not enchanted by it. I just want the green back. That's why I have to work on making every day a good day. Maybe you need some green back too:)

happy presents . . .

I love Madison Park Greetings! Check out what they've produced using my Birthday/Holiday pattern:)! Sweet! 

time flies . . .

Margo's birthday is just around the corner... Keeping up with the tradition I made an invitation to her little party:).

hallow's kids . . .

October has been jam-packed with work and lack of sleep... and I'm not sad to see it come to an end... especially because it's going to be such a colourful, scary and fun end:)! Halloween  is promising to be very interesting.
My girls are dressing up as characters from 'the Golden Compass'. Margo is going to be Lyra, Anais - her daemon and Lola is still on the fence. 
HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU!!!

flutter by . . .

Exercise in colour.

bright side . . .

I've been so so busy lately... I lost sight of my bright side. Had to stop... and do some personal work... just to find it:).

watercolor girls . . .

I've been working away on a bunch of things that I can't share for a while... so, I'll share these 2 watercolors with you instead.

picturing sound . . .

Sometimes, music makes me draw things... the images that come are somewhat random, but they play well together. Hope this pattern sings to you.

it's still warm . . .

I'm in denial about 'October'. Just going to go on pretending it is still summer:).

wrap it up with lagom . . .

Got some fun news to share! My designs are on the gift wrap at LAGOM! Can't wait to see them in person and wrap something in 'WOODLAND BEAR':)!

Swan Song . . .

The summer has sang its swan song. It's sad, but this is it for the warm days. I made this pattern as a goodbye present for my beloved summer. 

best mates . . .

I've been too busy to blog. Working on things I cannot show you ('til later later:). Also, the expected 'under the weatherness' that comes with a new school year has reached my household. Runny noses and grumpy people are all around me. But, that doesn't stop me from doing what I love:). Hope you like my new 'soulmate' print. I am currently reading 'The Golden Compass' to the girls and out of it come a lot of fun 'if you had a demon what form would it take?' discussions. I'm almost certain my demon would be a wolf... but, of course, I'm only guessing:).

Anubis Eden . . .

Another fantasy garden with fantasy creatures. I just like to dream of these things, I guess. Nothing keeps the blood pressure lower than drawing florals.
