November brought a welcome surge of creative energy and five new collections, each exploring calming palettes and a more interior-focused style. From Vinca inspired stripes to my first equestrian set, coastal motifs, and new botanical florals, this past month took my designs in some exciting directions. I also began incorporating Affinity into my workflow, which has already helped streamline my process. I’m looking forward to building on this momentum in December.

New enamel pin in my Etsy shop! Plus see how this otter has evolved in the three years since I originally drew it.

Read about my studio in downtown Southern Pines and our new Weimaraner Dog, Jax.

1st place winner in Spoonflower's Farm to Tea Towel contest!

I realize I'm a little early, but I've got Halloween on my mind. Probably from Spoonflower's Vintage Halloween contest... I started doodling for Halloween and then I was inspired to create a Skillshare class about designing Halloween treat bags, so here we are. It's September 12th, my house is decorated for Halloween, my desk is covered with Halloween artwork and my new class is all about designing treat bags for Halloween. Perhaps I am looking forward to Halloween. 

I haven't published a blog post since August 5th, but I promise, I've been thinking about it. That sort of counts doesn't it? :) In all honesty I've had a lot going on around here.
