Seasons Are A-Changing! New Designs for Fall and Winter

Hello Beautiful Friend! 

Fall is creeping...can you feel it?

Autumn Sunnies Scarf in Rust Red

I can! It may be hottest at the end of Summer, which is typical for Southern California, but I am currently working on new designs for Fall and Winter. I do have some pretty Fall Decor and Fabrics in my Raspberry Creek Fabrics and Spoonflower Shops, which should help transition into the next season! Designs below are from the Finally Spring Collection, which swings nicely into Fall with its rich, warm color palette.

I have added a couple cuties to my All Holiday Collection, too!

Penguins and Snowflakes in Navy

Maxi Natale Wallpaper in Olive Green

 What will you be creating this season? Please share in the comments!

Designing With Pantone's Color of the Year for 2025

Hello Beautiful Friends!

In case you hadn't heard, Pantone released their Color of the Year for 2025:

MOCHA MOUSSE was the big winner this year!

The Color of the Year (COTY) from Pantone often forecasts what's coming in fashion, home decor, and design trends. The average consumer does not think along the lines of what the design world might be planning when making a purchase. I am right there. However, as a graphic designer and a designer of fashion and home decor, I am eager to see what color is picked by Pantone each year. 

This year's pick, Mocha Mousse, seems to be perfect for neutral or earth tone-based design applications. Here are a few pattern designs I created for my Spoonflower shop based on the COTY, Mocha Mousse and the coordinating color palette supplied by Spoonflower. Some of these designs are also available in my Raspberry Creek Fabrics Shop. 

Mocha Mousse COTY 2025 Design Collection

All designs above are available in fabric, wallpaper, and home decor in my Spoonflower Shop.

Raspberry Creek Fabrics offers fabric and wallpaper.

How would you use Pantone's COTY, Mocha Mousse? Would you redecorate your living space? How about sewing a matching set of pajamas? Let me know in the comments below!

Happy Summer, Friends! What's New?

Hello Beautiful Friends!

Carlsbad Seawall, Carlsbad, California

HAPPY SUMMER!

It's been awhile since I have updated you on the happenings. Sorry about that! Life comes at you fast and in waves sometimes. I am sure you can relate. 

Since we last met, my #1 Grandbubble graduated from High School 😢 I'm not crying, you're crying...It's not that I cannot believe how fast time flies, but I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! So much good stuff ahead for her. 

I have squeezed in time to update my shops and stores and even to paint, just for fun! If you are with me on Instagram, you may have seen my #SketchbookGirls series. I am challenging myself to practice faces and figures, but with my usual expressive twist. I'd love to hear your comments on the ladies. Which one is your favorite?

These illustrations are actually really fun, using mixed media and trying new things. Summer, after all is a time for exploring!

Here are a few of the latest products and design offerings I have created since last we met:

New and ReStocked Scarves!

Have a Wonderful, Safe and Happy Summer!

My Designs Roaming Free!

Hello Beautiful Friends!

Just got back from an awe inspiring journey to India. The people are so colorful, the food is spicy and the architecture sings in gemstones! We just happened to be there for Holi - the all community celebration of color and JOY! A great creative refuel, to be sure.

I returned home to find message from some creatives who have used my fabric and wallpaper designs for various projects. I thought it would be fun to share with you.

My new friend Darlene sent these image of her new valances, skillfully created by Rose Morgan of NC. She used my Autumn Sunnies on Brick Red to complement her warm kitchen wall color. 

Next, Carmen of 'Auntie Carms Creeations' on Facebook designed these Ribbon Skirts using my Valentine Confetti & Hearts on Black fabric. She even created some cute coasters with the left over fabric!

Finally, Audry T. chose my Jubilant Wallpaper to add some Springtime to her TV room. Adding self-adhesive wallpaper from my Raspberry Creek Fabrics Shop to the built-ins was an easy and affordable way to update this space!

Enjoy your Spring, friends. And please keep those project images coming! I love to see what you create with my designs.

Peace, Love, and Creativity, 

Jodi

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Here Comes Spring!

Hello Beautiful Friends,

Happy St. Patrick's Day to All!

I hope you are enjoying the last few days of Winter. 

I am here dreaming of my favorite season, SPRING! Not just for the beautiful flowers that offer so much painting inspiration, but also for BASEBALL SEASON! Don't you just love baseball? I have high hopes, as always for my Padres. Who is your team? 

If you haven't checked recently, my SCIARPA! Scarf Collection is full of new designs. I am transitioning most designs to my website, keeping only best sellers on my Etsy Shop. So, if you shop Etsy and can't find the design you want, please head over to my website, where ALL my best designs reside. 

Here is a sneak peek at some of the newest scarf offerings:

Peony Splendor in Dusty Lavender

Peony Splendor in Black

Peony Splendor in Sage Mist

I am also offering the same designs as fabric, home decor and wallpaper in my Spoonflower Shop and in my Raspberry Creek Fabrics Shop. 

Peony Splendor Fabric

You will also find some really cute Leprechaun Gnomes in fabrics that will be perfect for the St. Patrick's Day holiday and all year! How Clover  I mean, Clever! :)

Enjoy the last few days of Winter. Spring starts next week! Woohoo!

Peace, Love, and Creativity, 

Jodi

New Fabric and Wallpaper Featuring Pantone's 2024 Color of the Year!

Hello Beautiful Friends!

Have you heard? Pantone's Color of the Year for 2024 is Peach Fuzz. 

I wasn't really sure what to do with this muted color palette, but thanks to Spoonflower, I was prompted to create something in order to join the latest design challenge. Pantone partnered with Spoonflower for this challenge. You can read more about it here. 

Once I started sketching, the ideas began to flow. I love it when that happens! I did enter the challenge with this design:

Peachy Garden Wonderland Fabric

Peachy Garden Wonderland Pillow

I've since designed more, the collection growing to 12+ designs! It incorporates the Peach Plethora color palette that Pantone provided to coordinate with Peach Fuzz. Moment of honesty here: I like the Plethora colors more than Peach Fuzz. But I now have several coordinates to help you create magic with your quilt, craft, or sewing projects!

Today is the last day of the challenge, so my Peachy Garden Wonderland design will be available soon on Spoonflower. If you missed voting, I am entered in the next round,  where the challenge is "Welcoming Walls". You can Vote Now for my design, Winter Bliss Watercolor Floral. Lots of really pretty wallpaper entries! Vote on as many as you like.

Finally, the Good News! My Peachy Garden Wonderland Collection is already available in my Raspberry Creek Fabrics Shop on Fabric and Wallpaper. There are many coordinating designs in the collection!

So, if you're in the mood for something peach-fuzzy, head on over to both Spoonflower and Raspberry Creek Fabrics to find a whole lotta peachy designs right now. 

Peace, Love, and Creativity, Jodi
