This year has been an emotional roller coaster for

This year has been an emotional roller coaster for me...how about you? I’ve had some really amazing licensing partnerships and we’ve enjoyed a lot of growth as a family. But I’ve also experienced a lot of hurt and disappointment over circumstances that I cannot control.

Emotions overwhelm me...so I usually just don’t. I’ve had to learn to feel some things this year and just sit in the overwhelm. I’m sure you’ve been there.

Not much to do with the image, but here’s a happy flower bouquet for you and maybe a friend could use one too. 🪴☀️ Lean into the hard and find ways to come out of it stronger and moving forward.

Looking for a sewing project? I designed this back when I was going to stores with 5 kids under 6 (how did I even?). I needed a bag that allowed me to have free hands. This one can be worn as a backpack or as a crossbody.

Happy little houses ❤️ I reworked this pattern without the barns. It coordinates with the neighborly art prints I added to the shop a few weeks ago...a reminder that we need each other. Intentional community ☺️

My favorite part of pattern design is changing color palettes. Which is your favorite?

I’m in organizing mode, trying to get systems set up for this year. What about you?

Have you made a Water Bottle Tote yet? Whether you are going out or staying in, you can keep everyone’s water bottles contained and organized.

Just a reminder i have this pattern in the shop in case you need a solution for this ☺️

Have you adopted more plants this year? I’ve managed to keep some succulents alive for a few years, so I’ve slowly been adding a few more houseplants.

This isn’t one of them, but I thought it would be fun to decorate a planter for the #hollyjollydesignchallenge - to illustrate over an image. Plain pot to happy painted pot 🪴

I’m always freezing in the winter. Do you see the hot drinks theme?

Another quick design prompt for the @hollyjollydesignchallenge ...
These short design projects have been a good way to rest and experiment with some new work. Having a specific end product in mind really makes the design process easier.

These are coordinating winter coffee cup patterns. I prefer a seasonal vibe over super theme-y Christmas designs. How about you?

Hopeful for the day when our space is filled with friends again! We bought this house with hospitality in mind. Not being able to invite people in has been challenging me to extend hospitality in other ways...loving and supporting our community from a distance.

It’s worth reaching out to people, even from a distance. You never know how a small gesture might be just what someone needs to make through another hard day. ❤️

Because cups of your favorite hot drink shared with a friend makes you happy. ☕️🎄☺️

We watched a family Christmas movie a couple nights ago and I doodled all these mugs while we watched. They were begging to become a pattern. What do think? Gift wrap next year?
