MY GOAL

TO DESIGN PRODUCTS THAT GIVE YOU JOY IN YOUR LIFE AND THE ABILITY TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS WITH HEART AND BEAUTY.

I created a second pattern for my new Thanksgiving Collection “Harvest Home”. It’s a coordinating pattern of Bittersweet which always reminds me of Hissong Thanksgivings because Craig’s dad would cut some fresh from their bush

I think I will call this done! I’m working on a Thanksgiving collection (if you didn’t guess!). I am envisioning tableware with this one and of course greeting cards. What else can you think of? 🤔

I am using Winsor & Newton’s Professional Watercolor Block (Hot Press) paper for the first time. It was recommended in a book but I contend that Arches is still the best watercolor paper I’ve ever used! I’m showing you stages of

I just ordered more of these Butterfly & Buttercups Bookmarks because they’ve been popular! I am always searching for a bookmark so I will be making more designs in the future, as a lot of you probably need one too! 😅

My latest notecard design is now available in my website shop! I think we may have a goldfinch nest in one of our maple trees! 💛 If you couldn’t tell, I love birds!! 🐦&zwj;⬛ The scripture verse says: “May your unfailing love be with us

Goldfinches on thistles reminds me of our home in Lancaster, PA where there were hundreds in the fields behind our house. They were my daughter’s favorite bird. We have them here in Bell Buckle too and seeing them brings back good memories! 💛

More Art Prints on my website in the shop! Personally I think I’m going to put the beach themed prints in my bathroom. The cardinal print has been a favorite in the notecards— a lot of us love cardinals! I’ve had it in my plans to p

Brown Toile like this Spring Ducklings Toile wallpaper looks so classic and timeless in this bedroom. Did you know that Spoonflower makes several different kinds of wallpaper? From Peel-and-Stick that is easily removed, regular Pre-Pasted and Non-Pas

I have been getting samples of all of my fabrics on Spoonflower! It’s been frustrating to get colors right— the Butterflies and Buttercups fabric and their matching gingham in yellow needs to change! And I’ve been changing the toile

I only have five left of each color so if you want one, please grab it (or them)! 🛍️ What do you read in the summer?

This pillow is available on Spoonflower… the fabric looked a bit too bright on my last post but I think it would look very nice against neutrals as a pop of color! I am a “Spring” in my seasonal coloring so lighter brighter colors

I’ve updated my Spring Ducklings Toile patterns to be closer to what I can envision in children’s bedrooms or fun throw pillows and placemats. They are available on Spoonflower (link above) with matching ginghams. 💙💚🤎🩷

I can finally share my big wedding project for the newly married couple! I really loved creating every aspect of it and I heard the wedding was beautiful! The bride is from Colorado and they were married at Pinehurst so I brought in aspects of that t

I have now added 4x6” sizes to my art prints! I realized that I have more frames for this size at my house and I thought maybe some of you do too! (frame not included with print purchase) Thank you for following this adventure of building a bus
