Beauty comes from hard times. 😊 I’m working through extra stress by making things. Pretty things like this pattern to bring joy to your day and useful things like face masks for our local medical staff.

Squeezing in a family walk before the rain tonight

Squeezing in a family walk before the rain tonight!

We are new to this neighborhood, but everyone has been so friendly. I think more people are out walking than usual, but someone even organized a neighborhood zoom drop-in this week. It’s one of the good things happening due to the current situation. ❤️ What happy things are happening in your neighborhood?! #familywalk #easternredbud #daysofsmallthings #slowmotherhood #gooutsideandplay #neighborshelpingneighbors #neighborhoodwalks #communitylove #ourneighborhood

This week, spoonflower is partnering with nuggetco

This week, spoonflower is partnering with nuggetcomfort to create a patterned kids couch! This is my entry in the challenge. I’d love to work with this company. It totally fits our home & family style. And it’s a local business in Hillsborough, NC - just a few minutes away from our home! Seven kids need little happy places to sit and read and cushions to build forts with. Whether I win or not, there will be a nugget couch going in the reading loft!

The brief asks for a colorful and non-directional pattern that works in both kid and adult spaces. I designed what I would want in my boho/modern space. 😊 If you have some extra time, please go vote in the Spoonflower challenge. You can vote for as many as you like, but please keep in mind that it has to be non-directional! 😘

One of my life themes is looking for beauty in the small things. It’s something my parents taught me and it gives hope in hard times. There is always beauty around because we live in a world created by a beautiful God. He shares his beauty with us to point us back to him. Look for bits of beauty in your home or in the stories of quarantined people singing together or in your yard. Point it out to each other. Share hope. ❤️ #surfacepatterndesign #surfacedesign #cozymodernvibe #creativehappylife #slowlivinginthecity #daysofsmallthings #happyhome #happycreative #beautyinthesmallthings #liveintentionally #bohomodern #howihaven

Is everyone doing ok? Our lives haven’t changed

Is everyone doing ok? Our lives haven’t changed much from the normal homeschooling and working from home, but I know many of yours have. I’m praying that you see beauty in the small things and find hope despite the circumstances.

I’m making beautiful things to pass the time. May they bring you some joy today!

This floral has become one of my favorite prints! The unexpected pop of orange makes me happy. These prints are part of a collection inspired by late summer. Maybe I’m desperate for warmer weather!

Anyone else longing for summer? I know I’ll regret it when it’s 98* here.

Happy Friday! I thought I’d do a #fridayintroduc

Happy Friday! I thought I’d do a #fridayintroductions post for my new friends! A few things:

1) I just started The Surface Pattern Design Immersion Course with bonniechristine and I’m excited to learn some more about getting my designs on more products! I have several finished collections and portfolio nearly ready. Bonnie always reminds us there is room for our art, so I’m ready to share mine with the world!

2) It’s been a minute since I mentioned I have 7 kids, so I thought I’d throw that out there again...😁 we are a couple kids into the teen years, but at some point, 6 of them will be teens at home. We did not consider this when we had our babies close together. 🤣 Seriously though, the big kids are awesome and I’m looking forward to these crazy fun years.

3) We just moved into this awesome 70’s modernist house and are working to bring back some of it’s mid century/ naturalist charm. Geometrics, warm wood tones, and some boho details feel just right here. I’ve been sharing a few updates in my stories!

I’m so happy to see some signs of spring! 🙌🏻🌷This was actually a couple of weeks ago at #dukegardens before the snow.

I took lots of photos of all the budding flowers to use for upcoming designs! You can never have too many floral prints, right?

For those following our personal updates, we are moved into our new house, mostly unpacked, and working on lots of small projects.
