Recently Spoonflower and Robert Kaufman had a joint contest called Fabric8 with the theme "geek chic",whatever that means. I decided to do something science-y. I'm actually not thrilled with how my final carbon cycle looks. I think it's a little busy:
However,as is often the case,I do really like some of the other designs I was able to generate off of this one:

The shade garden,the vegetable garden,the herb garden, the flower bed,& the hydrangeas are all coming along nicely. Of course,you just turn around & look northwest & this is what you see:
When my in-laws downsized,we snagged some weathered lanterns (the St. Lawrence River will do that to anything) . I recently repainted them to match Doug Buckner's crane:

I've entered a few Spoonflower contests lately. The one above was for a "Murder Mystery Toile du Jouy". It came in eleventh. I like the peeping Tom. Maybe he gets his own fabric ('cuz y'know there's a big call for peeping Tom fabric.)
The one above was for the Mardi Gras contest. I don't know yet how it did.
This one is for next week. The contest topic was "love letters". As is often the case I like some of the collateral designs better than the contest entry:
