A little fairy tale pattern to brighten up this day! In love with indigo lately and it's starting to flow into my work.

If you have been wondering where am I... well... I've been working hard on getting ready for this years Surtex show. As always, I have high hopes that all the hard work will turn into great new projects:). Am I going to see you there?

Thankfully - the snow has finally melted! Now I can hide the eggs outside and then watch the chocolate high children take all that sugar energy into the wide open:).

I'm back. Back at a regular altitude. Back from the wondrous Makerie retreat in Colorado. I had an amazing time with the most creative and giving people I've ever met and I'll do it again in a heart beat:). I've made some new friends and met some old ones ( Marisa Anna - Creative Thursday ). I already miss the tangible joy of making that was permeating the air at the Makerie .

One pattern full of sugar makes the medicine go down:). This one came about in a different way. I was showing (step by step) to my daughters how to make seamless flowing story pattern  (practicing for my Makerie Workshop next weekend) . I asked for a theme - and they gave me 'Lions & Tigers & Bears, Oh My!'. I said 'I've been doing a lot of Lions & Tigers lately for my Circus themed work... So, we substituted with Foxes and Birds. What do you think?

Surtex 2014 is right around the corner and I've started the prep-work. I'll be in Lilla Rogers booth (as always) . To make it easier for you to find me in that large trade show space I've designed this 'inconspicuous' banner:). Hope it helps:)!

Thanks to OMM Design some of my characters have been adventuring in Berlin! The evidence presents itself in the form of this fun 7 cards and 7 envelopes set ( here ).
