Spoonflower Love
Now that I see the results I'm anxious to order some new designs, of which I have been diligently working on. (So many ideas!) However being of frugal means, I can't just willy-nilly order every design I come up with and like. No, no, no. Each one has to pass a certain test in my mind as I ask the question, "is it Spoonflower worthy?" ...I feel a bit like Elaine on Seinfeld wondering if the men she dated were sponge worthy!
On another note, I have jumped on the Twitter band wagon. My main reason is so that I can easily keep in touch with eldest daughter when she leaves, (in a week and a half) to study abroad for the semester, (have mercy, I will miss her) However, I figured if I have it I might as well use it. Trouble is, I feel like a slow moving turtle crossing a 4-lane highway... very out of my comfort zone. (Heck, I don't even know how to text message someone... pathetic but true.) Will soon see how this newest venture into cyberville turns out, wish me luck!

Good luck with Twitter I can't seem to get the hang of it. My daughter is studying abroad next year...while I am so excited for her my eyes well-up at the thought of her leaving. Best to you!
ReplyDeleteoops...I almost forgot! I love the fabric! Spoonflower is pretty wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou know who to contact should you need help with pattern design, right?? It will be MY pleasure to be able to help YOU for a change. Though from the looks of it, seems you are doing quite well. Nice thing about SF- no set up costs. If you like and want to see it- not a huge investment- can start with a simple swatch size (8x8, I believe?) I look forward to your quilt creations made with your own patterns. Taking it up a notch.
ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with twitter.
Oh, my I had my daughter go off and study abroad about a year and a half ago and I did miss her. She and I thought we could stay in touch through texting and not have it cost an arm and a leg and then after the first month I found out we had text-ed $500 dollars worth. Our cell rep had misinformed us of the costs. We were under the assumption that as long as we had the same provider we could keep in touch with our texting plan. They forgot to inform us that every time she sent me a message it was 50 cents. Fortunately they waived the $500 but we had to limit our texting. :-( I hope twitter works for you. It is such fun to keep in contact and hear about their adventures first hand. I hope your daughter has an incredible adventure.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric. I can see where this could be addictive.
Take Care.
I love twitter but rarely use it. Trying to use all 140 characters is fun and makes a little poem sort of. I like the challenge.
ReplyDeleteGreat Fabric. Can't wait to see the "spoonflower worthys"
yous talented and inspiring.
Beautiful fabric you designed. Now we'll all wait to see how you create into something even more beautiful.
ReplyDeletesaw the fabric on flickr...totally fab! my son wants me to twitter too...same reason, to keep up with him overseas...hard to take that plunge...when will i have time?
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric! I got a giggle out of the Seinfeld reference hehe! Good luck with Twitter.. it's not difficult to get the hang of. I just forget to go on mine lol
ReplyDeleteYour fabric is just phenomenal, I love it, love it!! I hope that your daughter has a terrific time and that you are able to keep up with her on Twitter. I have not yet done that and am hoping not to any time soon.
ReplyDeleteHuh! I thought I left a comment earlier - but I guess I forgot to do the final SeEKriT pAsSWeRd step (I was on my way out the door). Anyway! Love your fabric and can't wait to see what you do with it! :)
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH that fabric is GORGEOUS! Good job!!!! It has almost a retro barkcloth look to it, I love it. Awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteI jumped on the Facebook bandwagon awhile ago, and you describe it perfectly, a turtle trying to cross a 4 lane highway - golly. No way am I trying Twitter! Blogging will have to suffice, lol.
Have fun with your fabric, I look forward to seeing some new creations!
ReplyDeleteI joined Twitter a while ago but rarely use it, I seem to be more of a Facebook person. :)
I like the pink and green combo. It's a perfect match for the fabric. Can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteWhauw, great fabric! I haven't been twittering yet, good luck.
ReplyDeleteYour fabric is really lovely - the colours are so fresh and zingy! Really great! Thanks too for your lovely comment on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteFar out! Difficult to believe that this is only your first attempt! Your fabric design is super cool!!! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you joined Twitter! There's much I still don't understand about Twitter but I'm learning a little more as I bumble along... I'm enjoying your tweets! :) xo
Fabulous fabric; loved the sponge reference, I can totally relate to that feeling!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a picture of that first quilt of yours too:-)
WOW Victoria your fabric is totallly beautiful, it must be really fun to actually have it in your wonderful creative hands.
ReplyDeleteTwittering - I am still resisting the whole thing, and texting drives me crazy grrrrr I am useless at it.
Wishing your daughter a really super fun semester.

ReplyDeletegorgeous fabric Victoria. Are you planning on taking this further? selling it and recouping your costs? Then you could print away to your hearts content!

Lovely colours & design! Great details in the leaf/tree. Would love to do a Spoonflower one day but meanwhile, we are doing our own cheaper homemade style :) .Happy weekend!
