Yeah! It is voting time over at Spoonflower for your favorite Greek Myths Fabric pattern! Please head over and check it out. I entered the following design.
It was exciting to create the pattern. I couldn’t wait to see the other entries. Such a cool theme for a contest. I also had some more fun this morning loading up some new photos for my Society6 shop. 
I think these would make cool pillows for the foodie type. They are just cool.

I take a lot of pictures
A dear friend of mine just made me aware that I do seem to take a lot of photos. Not just for my product shots but I like to have my camera with me on my walks outside. Half of my blog is usually me sharing pictures. Sometimes I like to share pictures of fun recipes we have cooked up. Mostly I love to take close up pics of nature, frost, flowers, rocks etc… Anyway, this lead me to explore a site called Society6. They feature the work of many artists and turn it into useable products! So of course, always open to new things, I joined!! Today! Members of the site help promote work that they like. I believe that you have to gain a few hearts before your work is featured in their general shop. So now off to see how to promote the new shop:-)
Here is a snap shot of the store front.

printed fabrics from Bale and Twine
Oh what happy delights! Just got in my printed fabric designs and I am so excited. Pictured here are two fabrics that I designed. These are now available for purchase at my Spoonflower shop! 
To ZOOM in Spoonflower: click on “Quick Look” (when in the marketplace) and a window will pop up. When you place your mouse over the design it will perform a zoom function. You can order my patterns as fabric, wall paper, decals or wrapping paper! Pretty cool!!! I will be sewing up some delights with my fabric order. 


chicken rockettes style…
someone say chicken



Spring Chicken! At the vet today admiring all the chickens and peacocks roaming around. Was able to snap a photo of one of the more brave chickens:-) (that is the white one pictured above). The bottom pic is of our baby birds a few weeks ago. They are bigger now so will have to get some updated photos. The mini tote features a print of one of my chicken watercolors. My large chicken tote sold earlier to a chicken lover:-) Top photo shows my yummy Citrus Lime Rooster and Egg Soap Set. Happy Spring!
Bike Man…


Having fun today with the more of the wonderful remnant fabric from Taylor Made Custom Products. I printed my bike man graphic and then hand painted over top for definition.

Spring is springing at Bale and Twine! Here is a cute, lightweight, tote that I painted and sewed up for my Etsy Shop!
