There's a softness and both a hardness to these dresses. Being a woven fabric there is structure, but the cut and ease lends itself to a gentle soft.

Dress musings from my desk. 😊

The saga continues..... My Ryan after fishing all

The saga continues.....

My Ryan after fishing all day managed to misstep off the deck and dislocated/bruise and or break some ribs. He's never hurt himself this bad since we started dating despite his fused spine. He's now immobilized, hoping muscle relaxers and with comfrey and arnica applied topically will give his body space to heal.

So here. A bit overwhelmed with life right now. Ryan is the chef and I'm the baker. I don't drive, so getting anything rurally is becoming a challenge. So relearning how to cook after 10 years is......fun. Meanwhile juggling the usual balls of weaving, sewing, home educating, 11 baby chicks, 6 hens, a dog and cat. Feeling a little raw so please be patient with me.

I've been having a lot of conversations this week

I've been having a lot of conversations this week about comfort and femininity in fashion. What drove me to sew these dresses for myself originally is because I felt myself in them. I don't baby my linen, I work I play and occasionally doze in my dresses. Yes even the white ones. I always forget my apron in the garden along with my work gloves and i never hesitate to wipe my dirty hands on my skirt.

Clothes that are meant to be *lived* in, mended, worn out then repurposed.

Thank you Deanna for the gorgeous twirling action.

I guess we're taking it slow for the next little while....

Our modem fried on Monday and we're waiting for telus to fix our internet. 🙃🙃🙃

Thankfully our neighbor is graciously letting us use their wifi for quick email checks etc, but if you're wondering where I'm at.... I'm living this rural island life. Sewing and weaving away.

Hopefully see you all soon!

This dress is near a year old and as linen does it wears with time. Especially when you go as hard as I do. So a cute bit of visible mending had to happen.

This is my birthday dress for year two in a lockdown, named for my sweet partridge wyandotte hen. Ties at the shoulders, bows when you feel fancy and knots with ribbons flowing when you feel wild.

Shown in a sage with a blouse under.

Blessed are bubble friends who also have been in hibernation for the past year.

Blessed are trampolines and mugs of tea and hot dogs and marshmallows around a fire on a crisp spring day.

Getting to my @thewoodlandpixie 12 days of xmas spin finally 😂 I asked for a surprise (sparkle and no sparkle) and so pleasantly happy with the merry whimsical sparkles.

Life has been full extra full this past year. Its wild coming up on the year anniversary of briar coming home from spring break and then....staying home. A year of this walking a balance beam of home education, running a business, moving, and for the past six months tending an acreage.

Full indeed.

Looking forward to the spring equinox and busting gardens. 🌱

I'm back at the daily bread practice. The bread bow and linen bread bag has made bread practice a lot more enjoyable a ritual.

Beauty in the small things. Magic in the mundane.

Idk if it gets more local than this 😂😂

My daughter requested a new bunny softie for spring equinox so I thought why not spin the angora and knit a bun. Meta bunny.

The last two shearings I've seemed to have gotten a hang of getting a somewhat even staple with very little second cuts so go me!
