spoonflower...
If you haven't heard about Spoonflower yet it's high time you gave that rock of yours some breathing room. Really, he didn't want me to say anything, but he's chaffing from your always being under him and all...
Anyway, as soon as I read about this completely GENIUS service I started (literally) dreaming up ideas.
Caleb has been drawing the most awesome flowers lately...big round faces with huge doe eyes and squiggly mouths, long stems with at least two sets of leaves per stem. Last night I dreamt I had a border style fabric printed using Caleb's flowers and then made Molly the cutest little sundress ever: the bodice was made using the solid background color and the skirt portion sported Caleb's flowers springing up from the hemline. In my dream that dress was beyond cute, Caleb was over the moon impressed with himself and Molly wore the dress non-stop for three days straight. Logan was proud of Caleb but more interested in playing Guitar Hero and I guess Lynn was at work. The end.
I've also been dying to work up some dummy pattern repeats and finally had an opportunity to sit down tonight and play around:
I'm calling this set Dandilyons and Dots. Too corny? I don't care, I simply cannot resist the substitution...it's TOO easy. I'm thinking a little dress or pinnie using the dandilyons and using the dots for bloomers and accents. Accents like a knife pleat around the hemline (you know, for that one time when I'll have nothing but time on my hands...) or maybe bias tape trim. So many ideas, never enough time.
To say that I am stalking the Spoonflower website and blog is a slight understatement. To say that I am chomping at the bit to see pricing structure is accurate, though I would say it's more than just chomping at the bit...maybe chomping through the bit? That might be too much...but I am very anxious to find out whether or not we'll be living off tomato soup and ramen noodles so I can afford at least one print of my very own design.
Okay, better run...road trip tomorrow and I'm still not packed!!
