I usually have so many ideas my hands and my computer can't keep up.I can often iterate on a design for ages, creating near endless possibilities. I've learned to stop myself and just create a little bit, then move on to a new design because there are so many different things I want to make. But, here and there, I let my thoughts run wild and I create a large output of a single type of design.

Meet Polaroïd, a cigar-box-style quirky and bizarre pattern for wallpaper and textiles.This design was time consuming but so much fun to make! I really enjoyed combining the colors and ornaments with various vintage illustrations and quotes from one of my favorite songs. Each little graphic reminded me of a photo, a snapshot in time coming together to make one unusual story. Some of the graphics I used to make this design are here in my RawPixel inspo board. They're Royalty Free images and free to download from RawPixel. So, you can collage together these elements into your own design. Be sure to check out the different colorways and my visual inspiration below just past all the 'polaroid' graphics. Colorways
There's a stripe option as well in the collection!

Omg, a recipe!I know, I usually don't post these because I tend to not eat recipe food anymore (too many food sensitivities). My typical meal is a piece of meat with a 1/2 cup of beans on the side and maybe some kind of roasted veggie. But, I've been a bit braver lately and dipped my toe into the recipe world again. My mom made this awesome Black Bean and Corn Salad as a side dish for Thanksgiving this year. I loved it (it tastes even better after a day or two). So, I thought I'd share it with you all as well. And, if you really need some delicious bean recipes, I always recommend Unique Hammond's blog. Her carrot muffins are the chronic. Adjust this bean salad however you like. Too corny? Use less corn. Not into tomatoes? Leave them out. Gotta have more lime? Add more lime. It's your world.
