Big News: Bounding Squirrel Designs Are Now On Spoonflower

Hello there, and hope all's well with you.

It's not often I call any news round these parts "big".

But after having put in months of work learning and uploading behind the scenes, I'm super-proud to announce that you can now buy almost 30 of  my designs on Spoonflower's high-quality fabrics, wallpaper and home décor items, with many more designs to come in the future.

The top of the online shop-front currently looks like this (though those autumn leaves will change with the seasons and over time, as will the design selection):

storefront on Spoonflower.Com

Spoonflower prints every order on demand, and perhaps of special interest to people in the USA where it is based.

I can give you a flavour of the items they offer, such as this marmot tea-towel, (and indeed tea-towels generally, upon which I can now finally sell  my designs properly, thanks to Spoonflower).

"Cute 'N Quirky Marmots" Teatowel

And here's a  curated selection of my current designs, showing a small fraction of the variety of fabrics, wallpaper and other products made to last on Spoonflower:

But...

But the best, quickest and easiest way to see my new designs on Spoonflower,  (unsurprisingly) is to visit the BoundingSquirrel shop on Spoonflower.

Have fun there. And if you're already a Spoonflower customer, but you need a different size or colour of design..Or anything you'd love to see which isn't there yet, please message me on Spoonflower and I'll do the very best I can to help.

Phew again!

 After all the new items of recent weeks, I can promise you a complete change of tempo next week, to something much gentler and of the more "sketch-blog" type (both for your sake and mine :-) ).

In the meantime, thanks *so* much for being here, and have a great week.

More soon.

Cosy Halloween Autumnal Designs Are Here

Hello there

Hope all is well with you, and as promised, this week's post is full of Halloween printables, designed to be of the cosy and heartwarming kind.

Click or tap here to download and buy the full "Cauldron and Pumpkins"
Printable Cardmaking Sheet at Craftsuprint.com

The full sheet gives you a variety of embellishments and sentiments that are easy to cut out and use, and hence the option of making the same card design sound very different for each recipient. Simply change the sentiment tag for each person, and the card will have a very different feel.

Tap or click here to see and buy the full-res version
of this sheet at Craftsuprint

For example, the "Happy Halloween," sentiment tag might be perfect for general use, or with children or grandchildren. Those who honour the wheel of the year especially may prefer, "Happy Samhain."

sentiments on the main "Cauldron and Pumpkins sheet

Or, for the friend who always jokes about their cooking (and/or who loves a joke anyway) how about adding the "An Alternative Way To Make Pumpkin Soup...," tag to their card?

If you want to add your own sentiment this sheet also has you covered, with a blank tag designed especially for it.

And if you'd like more...

If you'd just like to send a cosy and fun card, the main card sheet by itself gives you all you need.

However, if you'd like to add a matching insert (complete with an optional verse that carries on the "home and hearth" theme  from the main sheet) that's available too.

And this beautifully bright and warm pumpkin border (that, as it's composed entirely of pumpkins, might also be useful in Thanksgiving projects if you're in the USA)...

A spookier Halloween?

I know that some people actually love the spookier aspects of Halloween. (Confession: I'm a scaredy-cat). But if you love spookier things, then I also have you covered in my Craftsuprint shop (with the added bonus that the colours and fonts from each Halloween set should all interchange pretty well).

Whether you're seeking cosiness or spookiness this year though, please remember that these are downloads, so (as I type on Oct 17th 2024, anyway) there should still be plenty of time to download, make, and send these items.

Finally...

Phew! Thanks so much for reading this unintendedly-marathon-like post, down this far, and for being here.

More soon.

Love, Peace, Joy, Courage Potion Bottles Pattern: Free Image Download

Click, tap or double-click here to
 download and use this image if you'd like

Hello there, and more than anything, in the light of all that some are experiencing around the world  hope that wherever, whenever and however you're reading this, you're safe, happy and finding ways to thrive.

This hope made me wish that we as a species could physically bottle love, peace, joy, and courage potions and send them out at a moment's notice to wherever it's needed. 

This pattern, in all its whimsy,  was the result of that thought. And if the idea speaks to you too, please feel free to download and use this image in your projects if you'd like. (Credit is always appreciated, but never required: my full angel policy is here).

Once again, I can't vouch for the size of download you'll get, as still haven't fathomed out how the blog is processing images these days.

And...

And yes, just to be clear, the idea behind these is potion bottles and jars. So, yes again, I have been thinking about Halloween designs. This year's designs  all are cosy, warm and comforting, but all the details will keep for another post.

For now, am just going to thank you so much for being here, and let those love, joy and peace potion bottles do the talking.

More soon.
