Crafty and love your chalkboards? They may be all the rage but you can do more!!!

Blackboards, but not black.

I loved this post on making chalkboards in any color that I saw recently on A Beautiful Mess Blog. She got it from Martha and I am hoping to spread the joy a little further!

The tutorial is here.

The Fabric of Your Life

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

You would often find me trawling through fabric stores for the perfect print or color or texture fabric to make table runners, backdrops, wrap around candles or cans or jars or just anything! And when doing that in Ireland I have to compromise most of the time. It may not be the exact color, the perfect weight or pattern but mixie matchie is in right? {thank god!} But it’s still frustrating.

I had no solution until now. Print your own fabric on Spoonflower. Yes! create your own pattern What ever you want in what ever color you need! Are you with me here?? Do you see how revolutionary this could be??

Your fabric design can be a digital photograph, a scanned piece of artwork or drawing or a graphic design created in Illustrator or Photoshop as long as it is in digital form you can upload it and create your pattern. Then you can choose what type of fabric to have it printed on. Choose from silks, a variety of cottons, knit, heavier uphulstry fabric and more.

You can also shop for quirky fabrics that have already been created by many creative people and are ready to go. Each Designer has a shop so if you like their style you know where to find more. And the fabrics are divided into catagories {yes, vintage is one} and then color.

Here are some fun ones

So fabulous. The name again folks is Spoonflower and I suggest you get your creative going and get over there. Seriously what ever your theme, what ever your style if you can’t find the perfect patterned fabric here for whatever you want, you can still make one! Abosolutely love this!
