I fully neglected an indigo vat over the winter-(many months) no lid, in a dusty dirty environment, fluctuating temperatures- it took me a few days but it came back! It’s a potent one!

Georgia dress. Detachable belt so can also be worn as a top layer/duster.

This linen deserve a bit of a spot light- it’s a gorgeous medium/light weight linen with various shades of blues throughout, reminds me of an antique indigo dyed cloth. It has a slight crispness yet a nice drape.

The linen is available in all the designs offered as everything is made to order.

I’m working on a shop update.
I have sourced some gorgeous dead stock locally, right here in Nelson- my main focus for this release is a small eco foot print. I’m using what I have, what is closest, what is already available.
It feels really good.
This fabric is a gorgeous silk/cotton in a neutral stripe.
As usual everything is made to order, so little custom requests can happen.
Stay tuned !

New cloth off the loom!

This takes days, but it’s oh so satisfying. This yardage (about 4-5) will be turned into something- I see a tea towel and a top or two for sure, maybe a bag?!

Some of the work I did in the past year.
I had a lot of fun creating but I sure did experience burnt out and anxiety/paralysis around the “business” aspects!
I think I may be over it, it’s ending on such a high note, I feel encouraged and very inspired.

Thank you to everyone who supported me in any small way.
It’s such a privilege to be doing this.

Thank you for being here.

☀️Happy Solstice 💛
