This is one of my favorite quotes from @bonniechri

This is one of my favorite quotes from @bonniechristine ! It takes courage to share your work with the world. Bonnie is such an inspiration to so many ladies that are working toward getting the designs in their designs out on real products.

I joined Bonnie’s membership group last year and I’ve made huge steps forward this year. The encouraging spirit throughout the group is so lovely and refreshing.

If you aren’t a designer or dreaming of being one, you can still support the artists in the group by following the new account @surfacedesigntribe - patterns and designs from members of the group. Maybe some of their designs will be the fabric you use for your sewing projects one day!

I was going to enter this modernist natural pattern in the current @minted bag challenge, but miscalculated the pacific coast deadline. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not quite back in the swing of things after the holiday break.

Since I spent all morning making this, at least I can share it with you all! This would make such a great bag design right?! #surfacepatterndesign #surfacedesign #surfacepattern #surfacepatterncommunity #modernistdesign #bohodesign #organicbranddesign #naturalbrand #artlicensing #cozymodernvibe #doitfortheprocess #dspattern #showyourwork

2019 was a good year but also a hard year!

We began the year believing we would be moving to Spain for work. I researched and decluttering and prepared our home for sale. I went on a scouting trip with my husband. We told some of the older kids and a few trusted friends. Then the company changed directions and we were left with no plans.

We spent a lot of time praying and asking for the Lord to show us where He wanted us. We could have stayed in our comfortable country home and gone back to life as usual, but we knew that our hearts had been stirred to step out of our comfort zone.

After considering many cities and options (my husband is able to work remote), we ended up moving into the closest city. We are currently living in 1000 sq ft and waiting hear about an offer we put on a house nearby.

God is good and we are beginning to see his plan come together. The small living space has alerted us to some issues with our kids that need to be addressed, and we are thankful. We are meeting new people and our kids are learning to love people from different backgrounds. There is so much more, but this is very long already!

Creatively, blogging and sewing have been rare, but I feel strong going into this year with full surface design portfolio and probable licensing deals. I have a greeting card in Target and met many of my creative goals this year. I’m spending today planning and goal setting as we prepare for the new year in a new house. Grateful for fresh starts 🙌🏻 How was your year? #reflectingontheyear #enjoythejourney #godisgood

I’ve been searching for years for a beautifully minimal planner like this one from @bonniechristine ! Bonnie designed this planner with creative entrepreneurs in mind and it’s exactly what I need.

She left it undated and simple. Every detail is carefully designed, while leaving space for my own creative embellishments.

I can’t wait to start my business planning for the new year!

Today’s prompt for the #christmasartcountdown with @smcnabstudio is “light”. I’m normally a white lights girl, but for a festive Christmas design I thought some retro colored lights would be fun!

I even made a gift wrap mock-up and coordinating ribbon design. What do you think...would you use gift wrap like this?

I’m participating in @smcnabstudio ‘s #christmasartcountdown this year.
Yesterday’s prompt was “jolly”. I initially thought “tis the season to be jolly”, but ended up using another line from Deck the Halls for this design.

May your homes be filled with joyous song!
