Pantone’s 2012 Color of the Year

9 Dec

Tangerine Tango or CMYK 0.83.95.0 is the winner for Pantone’s 2012 Spring Color Report. I love it! It is a fresh pop of colored paired with neutrals. It is also easy to pair with a complimentary color, for a bright color block trend.

Tribal Inspired Designs

6 Dec

I am really proud of my Indian Heritage. I have great memories of going to the Indian Reservation with my Grandmother, Pearl. I love geometric shapes, so I am also inspired by Native American art. These are some tribal-ish prints I have been working on. I am not sure exactly where I am going with it yet, but I like it. Mini prints? Tea towels? Maybe Santa will bring me a gift card to Spoonflower!?

Christmas Ornament Wreath

This wreath is easy to make. I should know, since I have done it twice. Do NOT store this wreath in an attic!  Apparently it does get hot enough to melt hot glue here in the South. See how to make your own festive wreath! Read More…

The Chrismas Angel

1 Dec

I bought my daughter a Christmas Angel It is a soft toy angel that come with a book in a cute tin box. The book tells the story of the true meaning of Christmas and encourages your children to spread the Christmas spirit by do for others. You put your angel out and leave messages about good works your child can do. You can even sign up on their website to have message ideas sent to your e-mail!

I put ours in the Christmas tree at night so she can find them in the morning. I made up a few messages and a blank template to add new ones as I think of them. You can download them here!
