November Recap

November was full of creative momentum for me. I had every intention of posting regularly to social media, but the ideas kept coming and I didn’t want to step out of the flow. Holiday marketing will have to forgive me this year. When I’m able to settle into that productive rhythm, I tend to stay there as long as I can, and this month it led to something I’m genuinely proud of: five new collections. I leaned into blue, sage and creamy tan tones more than I expected, and I’ve been consciously steering my designs toward a style that feels at home in interior spaces.

Vinca Stripes

I started the month with Vinca Stripes, inspired by the indestructible little flowers (or weeds, depending on who you ask) that take over our yard every summer. My husband insists on keeping them, and I’ve finally admitted they’re charming. This collection is built on a clean, versatile symmetrical floral with coordinating linen look textures in multiple colorways. The pink and green version feels especially cheerful. It’s slightly nostalgic, slightly preppy, and surprisingly refined once you see it on home decor mock ups.

Winter Equestrian (and Friends)

Next came what might be my largest project of the month: my first horse themed collection. My personal challenge was to keep things simple and crisp, with a clear vision for how the designs would look as a bedding set. It began as a Christmas concept, then grew into a winter version in pink and teal, and finally evolved into a calming neutral palette with blues, greens, and browns. Each colorway developed its own personality, which is why they now live as separate collections in my Spoonflower shop. If I had to pick favorites, the jumbo ginghams in the neutral group are high on the list. They make wonderful wallpaper and I’m already dreaming up ideas for more color options.

Flowering Olive Branch

This collection has a bit of personal history drawn into it. Years ago, I bought an olive tree that stubbornly refused to grow. It lived in a pot, looking more like a stick than a tree, until I finally planted it in the garden. It has since transformed into something strong and beautiful. There’s a lesson in there somewhere about timing and perseverance. Flowering Olive Branch reflects that simplicity and quiet resilience, with patterns designed especially with wallpaper in mind.

Preppy Coastal

I created this artwork while in New York City for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Not exactly a coastal setting, yet somehow I came home with seashells and ribbons on my mind. This collection holds a lot of fond memories for me, and the style feels clean, light, and a little bit playful. It’s a reminder that inspiration doesn’t always arrive from the most obvious places.

Pimpernel Florals

I ended the month with Pimpernel Florals, inspired by a botanical illustration I stumbled across in one of my vintage reference books. I created most of the artwork in Affinity on my iPad; a program I’m still getting used to, but one that’s quickly becoming part of my workflow. I’m gathering my thoughts on the switch and will share more about that soon. For now, this collection feels like a satisfying way to close out November.

Looking Ahead

This month reminded me how much can happen when ideas have room to grow. December is already shaping up to be full, but I’m hoping to complete another four collections and continue refining my interior focused approach. With Affinity now in the mix, my process is speeding up, and I’m excited to see where it leads.

Thank you for following along and for being here during these creative sprints. I’m looking forward to sharing more…hopefully at a more reasonable pace.

Hello Fall: The Autumn Fox Floral Collection

Designs showcased on a Creatsy fabric mockup

As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, it feels like the perfect time to welcome in cozy textures, rich colors, and playful woodland motifs. My Autumn Fox Floral collection was designed with that exact spirit in mind—celebrating the warmth of fall while carrying easily into the winter season.

Available now in my Spoonflower shop, this collection is offered on fabric, wallpaper, and home decor, making it versatile for a wide range of projects. These prints are also available for licensing.

A Story in Color

This collection is built around a bold yet earthy palette that captures everything I love about fall. Warm terracotta and espresso brown balance with goldenrod yellow and mossy green, while pops of bright fuchsia bring unexpected life and playfulness. The colors work beautifully together, whether you’re planning a single project or mixing and matching across the set.

Ideas for Makers

If you’re dreaming up creative projects for the season, here are a few ideas that work beautifully with these prints:

• Fall Bags & Totes – Imagine a cozy fox print tote paired with a golden grid lining. Perfect for pumpkin patch trips or everyday errands.

• Sibling Outfits for Photoshoots – Coordinating patterns like the berry vines and grids make sweet and stylish outfits for fall family photos.

• Woodland Themed Bedroom Decor – Accent pillows, bedding or wallpaper panels (ready to print in my Spoonflower shop) can transform a girl’s bedroom into a whimsical woodland retreat that feels cozy through winter.

• Seasonal Table Linens – Grids and berry prints make for beautiful autumn napkins, table runners, or even a harvest-themed quilt.

Shop the Collection

You can explore the full Autumn Fox Floral Collection here on Spoonflower. Every design is available as fabric (cotton, linen, or performance options), wallpaper, or ready-made home décor items like pillows and curtains.

Here’s to a cozy, creative fall season filled with all the warmth of the woodland!

Humming Bird Charm

I created the main pattern for my Hummingbird Charm collection in September as an entry to Spoonflower's 500th design challenge, the prompt was Artistic Voice. I like to push myself to try different mediums, but when I think about my style and what my clients hire me to do, it’s this hand drawn look that usually starts with a pen (or a brush pen on my ipad) I’m not sure what to call it, but this is my default style and what I’m best at. When I saw the prompt to the artistic voice competition, I wanted to skip it because it was so wide open and I had way too many ideas floating around, but then I started thinking of hummingbirds. Then I started seeing these seemingly magical little birds buzzing around my garden every time I’d sit outside on my front porch to work. With everything that went on in my life last summer, they were a refreshing reminder to appreciate the small things in life that can easily be overlooked. I decided to do a little research and I was intrigued by the symbolism and history connected to hummingbirds. Hummingbirds also seemed fitting because I am naturally drawn to pollinators and tend to create a lot of pollinator themed art and patterns.

I created this collection with warm sunny days in mind. I included a deep bold yellow and a punchy pink in the main pattern that combined seem to have such a summery feel good vibe. It’s available on fabric and wallpaper in my Spoonflower shop and I can see this hummingbird fabric being sewn into cute little ruffle bottomed one piece bathing suits or possibly sundresses for little girls.

This collection is available for sale in my Spoonflower shop on fabric, wallpaper and an assortment of home decor items.
