Fabrics!

I just received three yards of my Space Alphabet fabric and coordinates from Spoonflower... wow! I feel like a real designer now!

Space Alphabet for the Silhouette

Available this week in the Silhouette online store, print & cut versions of every letter of the alphabet!

Northern Illinois Prairie Dog

It was reeeally hard trying to paint this in the family room while a preschooler, toddler, and baby roamed about! But he's all done and is getting clear coated today.

At least the drawing's done

As usual, I'm procrastinating. Might have something to do with having 3 kids 4 & under. :)

Wow, I won!

Another Spoonflower Fabric of the Week winner! Again, I didn't think mine had a chance against the other great designs. What a nice surprise!

The coolest thing has to be how they described it: "More fabric for geeks..."! Maybe that's my niche?

Public art, yay!

I just found out that my weird wildflower-covered dog is one of the chosen designs! I've been wanting to paint a giant fiberglass animal since Chicago's Cows on Parade in the '90s. It might sound kind of lame, but I'm pretty excited about it.

It'll be displayed in Batavia, Illinois this summer. Here's the website with more details about the project:Bulldogs Unleashed.

What I should've entered

It's in the early stages, so please excuse the unfinished-ness, but this was my big idea that I subsequently talked myself out of designing for Project Selvage. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that (sigh).

Instead, a much more finished version is coming soon to a Spoonflower Fabric of the Week contest near you!
