baby's day at the beach — spoonflower

My new collection of fabric, Baby's Day at the Beach, is now for sale on Spoonflower!

The Baby Sandcastles print features a pencil sketch of my bebe playing in the sand (although in real life, he smashes castles faster than I can build them for him!):




I included five colors of this umbrella print (my favorite); honeysuckle, quarry, teal, sand, and storm:




and an all-over print of this apple juice bottle (my husband's favorite!):




I'm considering adding a different colorway, and maybe including a print that features this little hermit crab, who didn't make it into my final design:

a stormy october camping trip

The storm Friday night as we were driving down the coast highway was severe enough that we couldn't see very far in front of the car. Luckily, we made it to an unknown campground at night, in the rain, safe to our yurt. Fates conspired against us (four roads marked with the same name, a combination lock on our yurt that refused to reveal the magic of "opening", and camp hosts who all fell asleep before 9 p.m.). But we made it, and the storm threw a fit about it. Next morning, at the beach, clumps of 20-foot-long seaweed and other flotsam were scattered down the beach. We decided to make art.

In this next one, you can see the seaweed scattered down the beach behind me for miles . . .

I decided to try to weave it into a square-bottomed basket.

But I ended up with more of a dream-catcher-looking thing instead.

Shawn's whip, on the other hand, was very whippy! And made from a single piece of seaweed that was over 30 feet long.
