happy colours . . .

I'm back from two glorious weeks in Aruba... back to snow and ice... readjusting to 'normal' the best I can, and trying not to throw "I want to go back" tantrums too often:).
This new print is inspired by the colours I saw in Aruba and by how I felt on the happy island.

vacation time ! ! !

All packed and ready to go. One more day of snow and ice left... before I get to see the sand and the sun again! We only see each other once a year - but ours is a glorious friendship. The sand doesn't mind my uber white body (the illustration is where the wishful thinking comes in) reading on it. I don't mind it getting into places from which sand might not return:). Girls are also beside themselves with anticipation. We all need some cold and snow free family time.  
I'll see you all mid February... hopefully, all full of vitamin D and the will to illustrate tirelessly for the rest of the year.

Moonlight Walk . . .

For all you night creatures out there... a moonlight walk print is my show and tell today:).

birthday wrap ! . . .

Lola will be turning 12 in a couple of weeks... but we'll be on vacation and there will be no reason to make little birthday invitations for all her friends. So... I made this birthday pattern instead!

golden delicious . . .

Romantic new print to share with you today. How do you like those two love seeds?:)

Hello Printsource NYC!

This is my PRINTSOURCE 2014 flyer. The show starts on January 13th in NY Penn Plaza Pavilion. I'll be represented by Lilla Rogers Studio in Booth E3. Here's to a good show!

scandinavian garden party . . .

A bit of scandinavian garden partying going on here:). Wanted to do something with softer, calmer colours.

psikhouvanjou melamine plates !

So happy that I can finally share these melamine plates I've designed for psikhouvanjou with you! I really love the way they turned out. Especially the tea drinking horse:).

if you are in Australia - check them out at lark (here).

Sunroom in My Mind . . .

New year... new patterns. Can you take your eyes away from my hypno-cat? I didn't think so:). He's transmitting positive messages your way... all about winter ending soon and greenery returning:). 

happy new year ! ! !

Happy New Year! May it be the best one yet! 

invincible spring ... in the midst of a seemingly endless winter . . .

It's like keeping a fireplace (within you) going. Just another log... another floral pattern. That... and 'oh so sweet' family time. That also helps to melt the wintery white.

dog's day . . .

Every dog has his day... and this bunch are having theirs today... in my imaginary garden:).

flow book for paper lovers . . .

A lovely envelop containing 'Flow Book for Paper Lovers' arrived in the mail. Exiting! As a stationery and pattern lover I think that it's a treasure trove. Cards, wrapping paper, stickers and envelopes... Oh my! Plus, my 'Wild Horses' pattern is featured in a few places. Pleased as punch:)...

Wild Tea Party . . .

If you need a break from the holiday imagery that seems to be everywhere (not that I'm opposed... but I like variety :) - you've got it. A wild tea party in paradise is as far from shovelling the drive way or shopping in the mall as you can get. Hope it gives you warm thoughts...

daylight . . .

A bright, scandinavian repeat - to prolong short winter daylight:).

adventure sprouts . . .

Pink is a very happy colour. It didn't used to be a favourite, but I've changed my ways.
