The online shop is closed for a little organize and update, it will reopen soon with new pieces from this stack of plant dyed silk I’m holding. I’ll be working on sewing these into tops and a couple dresses the next couple days. I’ve been looking forward to it for weeks! 📷 @amandamarycreative

Here I am in my sewing studio where I happily spend a lot of my time. I decided to get over my displeasure for getting my picture taken and had a whole photo shoot of me working in my studios. @amandamarycreative was great, she reminded me to breathe and was pretty stealth taking photos. Thank you Amanda, you made it fun and easy🤸🏽‍♂️

Fabric supply is running low. Aside from a few random pieces I have here- Oat, Dove, B&W micro stripe and blue stripe are done. Steel (shown here in the Zinnia dress) Emerald, Cinnamon and White are still available- but also looking a little slim- except for the white! These colours/fabrics won’t be available until mid fall unfortunately😬 I’ll update the online shop with the pieces available in the sold out fabrics soon! Thank you every one shopping from small independent designers, makers & shops❤️

Beautiful hike up to Gimli ridge today. What a go

Beautiful hike up to Gimli ridge today. What a gorgeous place. On the way down a little family of mountain goats joined us, they were on the path with us for about 20 mins, which was amazing and a bit unsettling as they had a baby. They knew we weren’t a threat and seemed ok with us 😅We were quite thrilled to have a little walk along with them! Videos in stories.

I had a longer break than usual from plant dyeing

I had a longer break than usual from plant dyeing this year! It took a little while sourcing silk, still trying to find wider yardage. I even sand washed by hand some silk charmeuse to help plant dye absorb. I was quite pleased when I unrolled these pieces. Really into the osage/madder combo right now! There will be a very small selection available sometime soon.

It’s the time of the year when I live in the Foxglove dress. Shown in cinnamon, also available in steel, oat, dove and emerald. Wishing you all a lovely day!

I just added this plant dyed/eco printed silk twist tank to the online shop. I dyed it with osage and madder, then eco print with smoke bush. It has light pale swaths of peach and tangerine. I marked down a few plant dyed silks in the site to make room for new work as well. Use the code Free Shipping at check out.☀️

This post is a shoutout to nurses. I’m just recovering from 30 rough hours at Kelowna hospital (a planned procedure, I’m on the mend and will be totally fine) I had various nurses in different departments taking care of me. All the beds weren’t even full and they still had to hustle to take care of us around the clock. I was also so grateful to be in Canada with our medical system as I had a comfy room to myself . Of course my mind constantly visited the worst hit in the US, and I can’t imagine the pain and suffering happening down there 💔. A big Thank you to all of you nurses working your asses off in hospitals 🙌🏽❤️

A couple years ago we were driving down our rd and big grey owl was sitting on a power line with his back to us. We pulled over, I was in the passenger seat with a little dog on my lap and the window was down. I wanted to see the owls face so I quietly said “hey owl” in a split second the owl turned around and swooped straight for me and my little dog (sitting in a car) Wade and I were very startled, I shrieked a little and fumbled to roll up the window. The owl gave us a very dramatic flap of its majestic wings right in front of our faces then took a sharp turn away. It was amazing. and This Little Owl - I think it’s a Saw-whet owl ? Just sat blinking looking so little and adorable. My google search informed me they are incredibly tame and have no fear of us. It made my day, hanging out in my yard with a little owl.

Morning harvests have been quite fulfilling! In early May when there’s still snow in our garden I don’t feel much hope but it seems to catch-up!

Online shop has been updated! I’ve added this dress I finished a few months ago. The middle panel I hand wove with soft cotton, tencel and some silk threads. It’s lofty and cheerful 🤗 The back and side panels are linen (I did not weave this linen cloth!) 🌱For the shop update- I’ve sold out of a few colours and added a few new options. I’m very low on a few as well. Covid has made it all quite interesting! Planning another update in about a week or two. Free Shipping in Canada. Thanks friends 🌈
