Woodland Tales

Time flies and I am working hard to get done on multiple things at the moment. We will move next month and I am taking measures and browsing IKEA catalog to try to fill the new home in the best way possible according to my new linear and modern taste. Flying box are banned, I want room around, no more stock and stashing to welcome the Marie Kondo philosophy. Yeah! I also started my own Bullet Journal to track and accomplish daily task, it's helpful!

And in all those Mama - Workers - Planners skills, I am also working on a new collection of textiles and pattern design. The fabric has been already proof printed and I will receive the package from Spoonflower Berlin very soon, I can't wait! If you follow me on INSTAGRAM you may already notice some sneack pic of the next collection, that I called Woodland Tales. I will let you know more about the inspiration and the mood of this collection on the next couple of week when I will release it. Since then here is an image collage I loved pick and arrange this morning to show some pattern of Woodland Tales.

Floralia A5 Planner Dividers

In my home they are everywhere. I own 6 of them. Three are in eavy use, the others laid back in its box waiting for their good cause. They help me tracking who I am, help me planning my day, my work, my to do list, they keep my secrets, my wishes, ideas for blog and sketches on the go. So for this i care of them and I love to treat them with the best filling.

I’m talking about Planners.

My favorite brand is Filofax, but I know there are many  beautiful brands out there, as Kikki-k,  etc. the format I prefer is the A5 size.

When I created Floralia, at first I didn’t tough how much versatile those patterns would be.

But last week, while I was working on a new lookbook I was experimenting in applying patterns onto stationary items. And when I made a first proof for my Filofax it was love at first sight and I hope you will like them as well: Please, welcome the Floralia A5 Planner Dividers!

For the moment I made them available as downloadable pdf files so you can print as many as you want for your or (your many) Planner, but if you want to buy a printed set, just ask for it on the contact page and I will arrange a personalized order just for you.

Spreed the Spring with Floralia

Hello! This past week was really busy for me in working on a new fabric line that will be available late this or in the following month. In the meaning while there was also a big and exciting news for me and for the European Fabric addict! Spoonflower announced the Berliner HQ opening! So European can now order fabric directly from the European based Spoonflower Head Quarter without the pain of having the custom expenses added to their orders each time a big box of lovely fabric come from USA. And you can now order my fabric collection directly from the site without changing much on the way of order from the Spoonflower site.

Here are some more photos about my last collection. Did you browse the Floralia Collection yet?

Starting from your Dreams

Hello! To follow my dreams and to share my own journey in Surface Pattern Design, Art and Craft, with you, I'm going to jot down my experience and accomplishement in this blog.

23 years ago I felt in love with handmade and fabric. I've been always drawn to doodling, drawing/sketching, painting and make stuff with my hand.

Having my child pushed me to find my own path to stay true to my creative mind and to not fallen apart.

This Blog will help me to start from my Dreams, and hope you will enjoy the journey with me too.
