Buh-bye creative block, hello pretty patterns

I've had rather a creative block when it comes to designing lately, but on Monday I started something and now I have created quite a few patterns in a matter of days!

Below is the repeat tile I made for my teardrop pattern.. which I then repeated, making the pattern.. and then applied the repeated pattern to a notebook.





The colour and the details of the patterns don't come out as well as I would like in these small blogger images but I love the contract between the full filled colour shaped and fine dashed lines in the teardrop pattern!

Below is another pattern I have been working on 'heartflower'.. Again below is the repeat tile I made.. which I then repeated, making the pattern.. and then applied the repeated pattern to a notebook.





I have been working on some other pattern too which I will upload in due course!

So after Christmas break I suddenly felt inspired to do some sewing, so I started sewing and making things and couldn't stop myself for about a week. I ended up having made lots of keyrings and plush hearts and decided I would start an Etsy shop to sell these.. you can view my shop iheartrosie on Etsy.

Here are a few pictures of the things I've been making and are now for sale:







It's also been really nice creating a brand and identity for the shop, below you can see the logo which I have created for my shop which is used on stickers, postcards, avatars and banners.



Now all I need is some buyers!
