Cozy Coastal Collection Story - The beach is my happy place…

Anyone who knows me will tell you my happiest place is walking along the Pacific Northwest shore. Sometimes the desire to walk on the beach is so strong, I will drive an hour and a half to go for a walk along the water’s edge and drive back home. If love could buy a beach cabin, I would have ocean front.

The coast holds many happy memories and I’ve put some into the lighthouse and beach fun pattern. The seagulls were drawn from actual seagulls I took photos of and the pattern can be adjusted to less birds or only clouds as shown smaller to the left. The shells are drawn from my collection and arranged as shell mandalas or dancing starfish, with a quaint pinstripe with sand dollar dots.

The wind and waves and beach air are healing to my soul and my hope is that free flowing feeling of good times and beauty at the beach would be felt by those who enhance their home and experience with these patterns.


Forest Fun Collection 

Forest Fun Collection Story - Inspired by nature & children

Nature is what inspires me most. I’ve spent many times walking and wondering in the forest and along waterways. My children, and now grandchildren are also a constant source of inspiration and joy.

Being with my grandchildren as they play in our playroom, arranging toy houses and creatures, wooden trains, and little worlds of their own, I was inspired to create a kids collection that celebrates the joy of being in nature. This Forest Fun collection invites children to imagine, create, and explore, fitting beautifully with the sense of wonder.

Vintage Petal Palooza Collection 

 Vintage Petal Palooza Collection Story

This cozy and nostalgic Vintage Petal Palooza Collection draws heartfelt inspiration from my grandmother’s colorful aprons and the coziness of Grandma’s Mid-Century Modern home—especially found in the softly hued pink bathroom in the coral colorway.

The designs feature hand-drawn florals and leafy motifs that nod to vintage nostalgia while embracing modern minimalism. Each design radiates visual comfort, offering gentle whimsy and a soothing counterbalance to complicated times.

The collection is a perfect balance of sophistication and warmth, where the timeless simplicity of Mid-Century design meets the dreamy spirit of Cottage Core, bringing a modern, comforting aesthetic to any home.

The simple elegant whimsy of the Mid-Century Modern style has always attracted me, making the most of simple shapes combined with creative design. It’s what I grew up with and even now is making life cozy in our second Mid-Century Modern home.


 Sweet Tweets Collection

 Sweet Tweets story

These sweet birds were inspired by my granddaughters, one whose name is Birdie and actually looks like the first bird I drew here. Those precious girls are loves of my life and these happy little birds remind me of them and the joy and beauty they bring.

I’d love to connect further and explore the possibilities of working together. I thrive on creative collaboration.

Here’s a bit about my story -

I’ve always noticed and looked for patterns. When I was 15 years old, my class took a career strength survey test. When my survey results came back I was devastated. Far above other possibilities for jobs, Pattern Maker was at the top. I asked what that meant, but no one seemed to know. My mind filled in the blank with visions of “Laverne & Shirley’ television episodes of me being ridiculous on a production line, or on a machine somewhere arranging sewing pattern pieces on tissue paper. That was years ago and the lightbulb connection didn’t come on until early in 2025, when I took some pattern design courses by Bonnie Christine and found I could learn programs like Adobe Illustrator and loved making repeatable designs. Every collection has a story of life and beauty!

In the ‘90’s I designed and hand-cut stencils to paint on client’s walls. Then in 2017 I began to design stencils for StencilGirl Products® and have really enjoyed designing, collaborating, and using those stencils in my art making and journaling. All the years of art making, journaling, doodling and designing have put together a body of work that offers inspiration, and a springboard to make beautiful patterns to put on products. I’m doing what I’m made to do and am excited for MORE!
