Guess what? Another design challenge! This time the theme is Chintz Revival, and I came up with a design that honors my grandmother. My design is called "Grandma Gertie's Chintz Chair" - what do you think? if you like it and have a few minutes to vote for it, I sure would appreciate it!

Thank you to everyone who voted for Cabana Republic in Spoonflower's Faded Resort challenge — 45th out of 1,378 entries, and I genuinely could not have gotten there without you.
The cabanas are celebrating. I assume there are mojitos involved.

Cabana Republic landed 45th out of 1,378 entries in Spoonflower’s Faded Resort 2026 challenge. Someone fix me a mojito, and three cheers to all who voted for my design! The road to this one was scenic. I started out with dreams of Moroccan sand, veered over to Hawaii via a threadbare Polynesian pr...

Voting is open for Spoonflower's Faded Resort challenge. My entry, Cabana Republic, is a block-print pattern featuring stripey vintage beach cabanas with a cotton candy attitude. I was going for the good kind of faded – sun-bleached, salt-aired, and well worn from hundreds of beach parties. This fabric has partied far more than I have.

If you've ever voted in one of these challenges before, you know the drill. If you haven't, it's free, it's fast, and it would genuinely make my day.

Voting is open for the Spoonflower Jungle Nursery challenge and "Goodnight Jungle" is my entry. I went my own direction on this one – intricate linework, saturated color, hidden elements. It's what I'd buy if I had a nursery to decorate. If you think it works, I'd love your vote. Link below, and genuinely appreciated.

This made my whole entire day.

Alyssa (https://www.instagram.com/theprairiemisfit/) got her hands on my "Louisiana Bullfrog Fête" fabric from Spoonflower and turned it into the most perfect little mini dress -- and honestly I cannot stop staring at it. The way she handled the placement, the silhouette, pairing it with the striped fabric for the edging and the belt... she just gets it. And I am tickled pink!

This is exactly what I design for. Seeing your artwork walk around in the world is an amazing feeling. Thank you Alyssa!

Check out Alyssa's work -- she is selling these dresses and so many other gorgeous makes. She is a star!

The fabric is available in my full Louisiana Bullfrog Fête collection on Spoonflower -- go make something wonderful: https://www.spoonflower.com/collections/811731-louisiana-bullfrog-fete-by-rocarrstudio

The brief was "Modern Nautical" - my brain said ocean vista, sea creatures, sweeping coastal atmosphere. My hands apparently had other plans.

"The Real McKoi" started as one thing and ended up as something else entirely. The final product is a closely-tessellated Art Nouveau koi pattern that owes as much to Escher as it does to the sea. I dig - I hope you do too!

Voting is open for Spoonflower's Modern Nautical design challenge and I would be deeply grateful if you'd throw a vote this direction, here's a link!
