I'm cold and I blame Persephone!
I've had the flu and that's really slowed me down but I'm still not sure why it's taken me nearly a week to mention that I won Spoonflower's Pomegranates themed contest with my 'A Jewel of a Fruit' design. I've been rather stunned by the many people who have left nice congratulatory comments or sent me a PM about it. It's a very friendly and ( Read more... ) -
In the winners circle!
As I suspected, the top ten was heavy with red, white and blue designs but my design has placed third in Spoonflower's Stars and Stripes contest! As I designed this just ten days ago I only have my 8 inch swatch sample so far but Spoonflower were kind enough to share some pics of the yardage:

Pomegranates!
Last week I entered my Jubilee Flyover design in Spoonflower's Stars and Stripes themed competition. I was pleased with how it came out but not too sure of the reception it would receive in a contest I was sure would be filled with Americana themed designs of predominantly Red, White and Blue so I was pleasantly surprised by the positive response ( Read more... ) -
Flyover
Voting opens in a few hours for this week's Spoonflower contest. The theme is Stars and Stripes. So far I've had a very encouraging response to my entry. It was inspired by the media coverage I saw of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, especially the fantastic images of the Red Arrows doing their flyover.

Pie!
I haven't entered a Spoonflower competition for a while but I'm pleased with how the design I did last night for the Retro-Kitchen, limited palette competition came out so I entered it. I do so love pie!

Well I think it's fantastic
Just found out that I came 2nd in Spoonflower's Outdated Technology themed fabric of the week contest. I'm very happy with the result. I'll keep entering when I can. Hmmm, maybe posting about it beforehand brought me luck. They put some pics up on flickr and I think it's printed really well.

My version of the handmade gift
It was Little Dove's birthday on Tuesday. I can't believe that my baby is 15! After the expense of so many extra hospital visits lately (and with at least three more coming up way too soon for comfort) I have been struggling to stay on top of the bills. Because of this I was too broke to get her much of a present so I decided to do a design instead ( Read more... ) -
Plastic (or is that Bakelite?) Fantastic!!
I haven't been posting lately because I've been trying hard to adhere to the "If you haven't got anything nice/good to say..." philosophy but I'm really pleased with how my entry for this week's Fabric-Of-The-Week contest over on Spoonflower came out and how it holds up (in my eyes at any rate) against the rest of the entries, especially ( Read more... )
