Purple Lavender Flowers Herb Field Botanical Stems Throw Pillow

Since I started designing for Merch by Amazon, they have added other products besides shirts. Here is a pillow I added when they started offering gift ware. I added the purple trim that I made with my French knitter. Looks great with and without decorative edge! Find CyndiLou Lavender Pillow 

My Top Amazon T-shirt Design

 I have been designing on Amazon since 2018 under the name CyndiLou Designs. I have also been working for our local hospital, Northside Gwinnett since 2018! I'm an Outpatient Cardiology Scheduler by day and a Surface Pattern designer by night! When first started, I was asked to make a department T-shirt for Casual Fridays and the Anatomical Heart Word Cloud was born! This has been my top selling design ever since! Check it out!

My DIY Sock Doll Tutorial

I've been making sock dolls since 2012.
I created this tutorial for a friend that bought
a bunch from me but wanted to learn to make
her own! This is the style of doll she wanted.
You can make any theme you want with these instructions.
You can see some of my other design under
my Labels on the right hand side...
look for Sock Doll tag!

So get out that bag of mis-matched socks & have some fun!

Hand Made Garters for a Wedding Football Toss

I have been so busy creating wedding items, I haven't had any time to post!

Here are some accessories that I have been working on. 

Some of these can be found in my Etsy store soon!

I was very inspired by sports fan theme event!

It is difficult for a groom to successfully toss a little fabric garter... 

so surprise him with a Garter Holder! 

Yes... it is a football! He will be thrilled and will enjoy zipping that pigskin to the single guys with the DJ playing the theme to Monday Night Football or his college fight song!

Please take a look and enjoy!

Check out Cyndi Lou's Garden!

Creative Mandalas

man•da•la n : Any of various ritualistic geometric designs symbolic of the universe, used in Hinduism and Buddhism as an aid to meditation. — Dictionary.com

According to Creativity-Portal, "The mandala may traditionally be used as a spiritual tool for meditation, but it can also be treated as a contemplative work of art. Artists of all kinds are intrigued by the endless creative possibilities that exist in these sacred circles, the intricate design work that is often based on the step-and-repeat principle, center, and symmetry." 2009
Mine seem more like Kaleidoscopes, but the spiritual aspect of the Mandala!
I have enjoyed making these over the years for different gifts, contests, swaps and design elements. Hope you enjoy my work!

Hand Painted Dress

I can't believe how long it has been since my last post! Sorry

about that! I have been so busy with job hunting and High

School Varsity Tennis with my son! I found this drees on

the Walmart clearance rack and decided to paint it up for

myself. I use Soft Paints and I think it turned out wonderful!

Hand Doddled Vest

I have been cleaning out many areas of the house since I have been- - -kind of - - out-of-it for a while. OH, it is bad here, but getting better. I found this vest that I painted in the early 90's...I love it, so I scanned in some of the designs. Hope you like it! It is a white, T-shirt cotton vest, I tie dyed it, then used a permanent, fine point marker for the doodling. It has a zentangle feel!
