Fancy Flourishes

A couple patterns on the flourishy side of things!



Back to Basics

Some basic little summer patterns for a basic summer day! My little 4 year old cousin helped pick out the colors for these patterns and the square pattern was her own doing!

Color Palette Inspiration

I love creating color palettes from old photographs! I love to scan in old photos and pull colors from them and use them in a modern-ish pattern, like the one below:





New Journal!

For graduation, I recieved a sweet gift from one of my cousins...a homemade journal! It was perfect because I had just filled up my last one, and I had been looking for a new one. I've been inspired to start making some of my own journals...here's the first one using one of my own patterns!

The Bird and the Beads...

The bird is back! I love how these colors came together. Yesterday, my cousin was wearing a cute little plastic beaded necklace in these colors, and I just loved the combination!

Future Tattoo Artist?!

So...I was just playing around with some different patterns this afternoon, and my uncle walked by and said, "Wow! That looks like a cool tattoo!" Not exactly what I was going for, but...sure! I had a good laugh!

LinnieBell Sketchbook


So...I have been trying to figure out a way to make my blog a little more exciting than just posting patterns, so...I think I'm going to start posting some things from my sketchbook. I love my sketchbook because I am always putting little scraps of paper, fabric and what-not in there, and it is fun to look back and see where inspiration comes from! We'll see how this goes!

Summer-ish Patterns!

I had some extra time today, so here's a couple summer-ish patterns!
I love these colors together!





Random Bird...

Kind of a random little bird, but I like it!

Book Love...

I got back from Idaho yesterday afternoon...such a fun trip! Good friends, good times! I'm trying to catch up on a few things today, but I wanted to post some of my favorite pattern/inspiration/color books up... I find myself looking through these books quite often! Happy reading!


Tricia Guild has such a beautiful style...simply beautiful!




These Print + Pattern books are excellent reference books!
