So a while back I purchased a serving tray from Society6! I've shared photographs of it on instagram on a few occasions, but thought I'd finally right my official review of it. Society6 has bamboo and acrylic trays available, but I opted for the bamboo one as I quite like the light bamboo accents, and also the bamboo ones are available in larger sizes than the acrylic tray. The one I ordered is designed in my gold pineapple pattern. I chose this pattern because I thought it would make a great subtle accent piece for my coffee table, and since it is one of my best selling patterns, want to see how it looks on various products in print. 

Overall I am very happy with how this turned out, and would definitely order a serving tray from Society6 again. I also really liked my pineapple design on it, I thought it worked nicely with the soft wood shades in the bamboo.
​My only one complaint is more of a Canadian specific complaint. :) Society6 products come from the USA, so when it arrived in Canada, it was sent to my nearest post office for me to pick up, because I had to pay duties on my purchase. It wouldn't stop me from purchasing again, but just keep this in mind when placing your Society6 order. I always order during sales or free shipping times to try and offset the cost of possible duties!

Also a side note, you may have noticed my unimpressed cat planter. Where did I get it, you ask? From Home Sense, my favourite place! It was a candle, once upon a time. When I melted the candle down, I reused it as a planter for my cactus. Which is obviously now a CAT-CUS. :)

Cranberries are not everyones favourite berry, but I think they're pretty great! :) I always look forward to thanksgiving because that's when all the cranberry stuff comes out... delicious homemade cranberry sauce on turkey and cranberry gingerale are the best! So when getting into the festive spirit, cranberries definitely come to mind for me - and so I decided to draw them.
I've illustrated these cranberries in a simple style and coloured the cranberry leaves a bright green watercolour texture. This pattern is available in 4 colour ways, this is my personal favourite one! I've layered the cranberry fruit and leaf shapes in the background to give a shadowy layered look. The background is a beautiful deep teal shade, which compliments the cranberries and their leaves.
So far I've added this pattern to RedBubble and Society6 to most of the home decor and accessories available there. I quite like this pattern on tote bags and duffle bags, but also think it makes fabulous wrapping paper! The colours are festive and christmassy, and these illustrated cranberries would look lovely as wrapping for presents under a tree.

What do you think of when you think of winter? You might think about snow and cold and all the winter activities, or you might think about hot chocolates and warm clothing and curling up near the fireplace. When I set out to illustrate a winter pattern, I could have gone with snowflakes, Christmas motifs, pine trees or reindeer - all of which are great winter symbols. But to me, mittens are the best symbol of winter, and I wanted to illustrate them for a couple of reasons! I wanted to be able to convey the coziness of keeping warm in the cold weather, plus the playful and carefree side to winter. Not only that but mittens are ADORABLE! :) Knitted mitts or wooly mitts, they all have different patterns and designs and are super unique. Which is a recipe for a fun pattern. So, in this pattern, to cover ALL THE THINGS WINTER, I've hand drawn traditional mittens in different patterns and designs. I've stuck to simple lineart in white graphics, and added a bit of texture and colour variation to the background with a pink + red watercolour texture. 
I've added this pattern to my Society6 shop, check it out on accessories (and wrapping paper!) below!

A traditional ikat pattern decorated in pink and gold. The simple colours & diamond shapes makes this a versatile design for products. It works well in a large and small format, and looks modern and pretty on home decor, accessories & tech cases. I've even added it to business cards on Zazzle and I love how they turned out!! I do quite like the combination of pink and gold! I've used this colour combo in my pineapple pattern as well, and will continue using it on new designs. :)

This pattern is one of my first! I was experimenting with watercolour textures and simplistic shapes, and came up with this modern leaf pattern in a stunning peacock blue. I love the simplicity of this one, it has always been one of my favourites (I even have it as a laptop sleeve from RedBubble - which is excellent - I'll post about it here on my blog in another post!)
I've updated this pattern over the years to be more of a dramatic half drop pattern, and I quite like the new version. Although the old version still exists as it was on my Zazzle shop and RedBubble shop, the updated version can be found on my Society6 shop. The original on fabric at my Zazzle shop is an editors pick!

I'm getting into the Christmas spirit! This is actually my first holiday pattern of the year. I went pretty crazy with the Christmas patterns last year, and the ones I created were bright & popped with traditional Christmas motifs and colours. This year I wanted to mix it up a bit, and chose to work with a limited colour palette of pastel blue, green, light pink, and a very light grey-white for the background! I've drawn the trees in a minimalistic way with rounded edges to mimic the soft look created by the colours. I really enjoy the playful suggestion of a Christmas Forest created by the repeat and the trees in different sizes! 
What do you think of this pattern?
Check it out at my Zazzle or Society6 shops on a variety of home decor, mugs, accessories and more great stuff!
​Happy Holidays :)

This design is a new variation on my original purple & gold geometric design! I've always loved the variations of deep green in emeralds, and wanted to use it in my designs. I've layered various green watercolour textures to come up with a look that shows a variation of gemstone tones in every triangle piece of this design. A faux gold outline is used to give an elegant touch! This design is super popular on business cards at my Zazzle shop.
