ave been tempted once again to enter a spoonflower competition, only because it was for a soft toy pattern tha I have been working on anyway, so decided to use one of my little daschund designs to make a 'plushie' pattern.....better make it up so that I know that the pattern works properly!
ad collaged russian dolls from Spain....I have just spent nearly 3 weeks in beautiful sunny Spain, but not being one for sunbathing spent the hot afternoons cutting up mountains of paper to make 30 russian doll designs which I thought would look really lovely when grouped together for a fabric design. Spending all that time away from work and dismal England always makes me think of new ideas, mostly to do with Spoonflower and printing fabric....and then 2 days back in the office they are all forgotten! Oh well.......

It is also about sharing ideas, images and work from some very talented friends and family who continue to support and inspire me!
