Shake Off the Winter Blues—Spring is almost here!

Spring patterns to lighten the mood

Mar 19, 2025

Tomorrow marks the first day of spring, so I thought I’d fill your inbox with patterns and designs to celebrate the season of renewal.

*Bunnies and Blossoms* available as a scarf here and on Spoonflower

Here in the Bay Area, cherry blossoms are the first sign that spring is near, and bunnies hopping through the foothills make the landscape feel alive with the season’s arrival.

*Deer Frolicking with Butterflies:* available on products and fabric.

By late spring, fawns are born, and I love spotting little families grazing on grasses and shrubs in our open-space preserves.

*Katie and the Hummingbird*: products on Redbubble and scarf available here

I created this piece in honor of my beloved tuxedo cat, Katie, who adored basking in the spring garden among the flowers, birds, and bees. We don’t need to discuss her other springtime hobby—let’s just say our male cats aren’t nearly as skilled at hunting.

*Lemons on Blue Gingham:* view on fabric and products

In the Bay Area, lemon trees start bearing fruit in late winter—an early promise that spring is on its way. Since lemonade is one of my favorite picnic treats, I paired bright lemons with classic gingham in this design.
