My pattern designs – my very own stripe (of course) – called Deck chair (left) and Four leaf hearts (right). I’ve had a fun week of…

    I had no photo inspiration for my palette today – just colours chosen on a whim and trying to channel the sometimes garish colours that appear in kimono fabric. Given that the universe seems to be reminding me of Japan this week I thought I’d put my recently purchased Seamless Studio to good use and…

    Oh how I love Colour Lovers – here’s my latest palette which has been aptly named Musee France. Also my pattern attempts – I created the left modern looking Fleur de Lis, which I accidently saved without fixing those three lines in the centre and now they will forevermore bug me.

    I really like the retro colours created by my Instagram photos so I turned them into a palette. I had to then create two equally retro patterns, they are Feel the Connection (left) and A Busy Day (right). P.S. I always wanted a job naming paint colours, I think Colour Lovers is as close as…

    I was so taken with this photo by rafa of a leaf in ice that I turned it into a palette. No trip to colour lovers is complete with also creating patterns. My latest are Snowdrift Shivers (left) and My Beating Heart (right).

    I have a new love, well maybe an old love renewed. I’m talking about Colour Lovers, my number one source for palette inspiration. It has also become my new source for pattern inspiration and you know how much I love creating patterns. I used colour lovers to create a palette from one of my flickr…

    My goal this week is to talk about a goal. If you’re wondering about the weekly challenges they come from 52 Weeks of Blogging Your Passion; eBook and forum from the lovely Tara of Scoutie Girl. My ultimate goal and one of the reasons for the return to study is to print my own fabric.…

    My gorgeous friend Rach and I decided to brave Spotlight this afternoon. It really requires a strong constitution as it is such a store of chaos and yet if you are willing to persist you can most times pick up a bargain. I almost became trapped in the rug department. I went armed with my…
