This girl is a week shy of 8. And I'm just continually amazed by her empathy and caring. For two years she's been working hard demonstrating responsibility such that today her grandmother took her and let her pick out these two sweet beings.

Vol 1 is up! Happy reading!

I have it up on ko-fi which is by donation and I have it on my website for the suggested donation of $5 (I couldn't figure out how to make it by donation on my website--will have to bother Ryan later about it)

Both links will be in comments and link tree.

Summer vibes.

Pssst the first volume of what I hope to be a somewhat monthly zine is coming out in 6 days, I've just started layout and it looks really pretty. I'm looking to have it formatted like an ebook, and printable (reminder to myself to bug graphic designer hubs for help with that 😁)

I also have 4 dress slots available for the next month. Looking forward to autumn and new patterns including a wrap dress to add to the current line up.

The golden plums are ripening and must get to canning before their done....!

This delicate but vibrant purple makes me feel all

This delicate but vibrant purple makes me feel all the delicious femme feels.

I have always been an expressive person, always sending messages as to my inner state with my clothing and accessories, I remember vividly being forced as a child to wear shoes that made my spirit heavy. I reflect on that now and have wondered by I had such a visceral reaction to wearing something so very wrong. And even now at 34 I am paralyzed if I can't find the exact thing to reflect my feels to the world. I know now that is a part of my beautiful neuro diverse mind.

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.

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.
