Chinoiserie, or Blue Willow China is such an eye catcher, that when in 2011, a customer requested I crochet her Mom a blanket to match her Blue Willow China collection, I was beside myself with excitement.
We collaborated on the color scheme and her Moms blanket was finished just in time for her Christmas SURPRISE! <3
Doily Designs
In 2011, I began crocheting in the round and was hooked. ∞ Crocheting itself is very therapeutic and meditative and in the round is the cherry on top. Round and round, row after row, coming full circle. It is so very satisfying. In the round offers so much inspiration, there are endless possibilities of things to make. After making one doily like design after another, like the ones below, the name Doily Designs was born.

This past weeks doodles......
Every year around my oldest sons birthday, I seem to get an urge to draw. Maybe it is this special time of year when Autumn begins, or that since Harley was born, he has inspired me to draw. Whatever it is, this year, after being inspired by other peoples art, I find myself wanting to share my doodles, if for no other reason then to inspire my own family to pick up those pencils, and whom ever else might feel it as well.
This past week, I was feeling in the mood to use pencil and colored pencils, and attempt some animal portraits. Usually after the eyes it seems to go down hill. But practice makes perfect. So I am practicing, and these were my results.

May you find joy & inspiration!
Happy drawing!!

Water drop doodles....
There is something so beautiful and calming about water drops, I find them absolutely mesmerizing.
While doodling, I was inspired to try and capture a water drop on paper myself, so I turned to Pinterest for ideas. Finding these inspiring drawings, I tried a few.
This first drawing was inspired by this water drops Pin. This drawing was super fun and great practice!
