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.

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!?

No kid’s toys, no computers, and no TV. When my best friend told me she had a hard time sleeping in her bed after she and her husband separated, I ask her if she had bought new sheets yet. She said no! I am shaking my head as I type. (more…)

Though I am not usually drawn to more traditional and ornate prints, I do like this modern take by Dwell Studio The bright color is perfect for spring and make the classic design feel fresh.
