#SpoonflowerSaturday Roundup 13/30/2016 
New series on the blog today! This is the first roundup of one of my favorite Instagram weekly features: Spoonflower Saturday! My two years with Spoonflower have made it easy to fall in love with textile design and I really want to encourage all of you to try your own DIY projects. This post includes a great group of projects that any beginner can try out. I have also added a link to where I found easy tutorials - no excuses!

#SFDesignADay with Spoonflower3/16/2016
Remember when I mentioned 5 ways to be creative this month? I totally completed one of my goals! For 15 days, Spoonflower challenged their blog readers to create a design a day. While it sometimes feels like I'm churning out new patterns left and right, this exercise encouraged new ways to create artwork. No, I'm not gushing over my own artwork. In fact, 90% of these I'm not crazy about (and was very close to deleting), but I find it important for artists to learn from failed designs. It's the only way to grow.
So here we go: let's make fun of my artwork TOGETHER! Recap time! Dress for Piñata Day!3/15/2016
