Christmas in New Mexico

I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year! Denver got a fair amount of snow (finally) on New Years Eve so it was a quiet night at home for us.

New Fabric and Pattern Designs

I am very excited to have my first three pattern designs printed on fabric!  I loved how these turned out! I mostly have been using photoshop to make my designs.  The photoshop classes I took a few months ago paid off.  I basically just copied and pasted an item out of the following images I… Continue reading New Fabric and Pattern Designs

My Photographs on Bags

Lately, I have been taking some amazing photos of my previous trips and hikes. One day I discovered a website called Spoonflower.com, where I can upload my own pictures and have them printed on fabric! Once I receive the fabric, I have been making tote bags and zippered pouches with my printed photographs! The first… Continue reading My Photographs on Bags
