Happy birthday to my sweet Breagh. You are so special, so thoughtful, sensitive, funny and good. I feel so lucky to get to hang out with you every day. You are the best parent to our pets and we love you so much. I am obsessed with you obviously š
You guys Iām being very brave and trying to post for me-made-may, me made this top from a thrifted tablecloth š«¶š»
The pattern is the dress from the @cayden.naughton picnic set cropped to make it a shirt :)
Happy 6th birthday to my baby Millieā£ļøThe day I went to pick a puppy out of a pile of ten puppies the lady running the rescue said the dogs kind of choose their owners, Millie wouldnāt leave me alone the whole time I was there, she literally picked me š She can be so naughty sometimes but mostly she is the sweetest puppy I could have ever dreamt of. I want to give her endless kisses and all my love and the best life she deserves š I feel so grateful to get to have her, to cuddle up to her when Iām sad and give her a warm bed and too many treats. She loves her people, laying in the sun, long walks, a stick, giving kisses, Canadian tire and me š What a beautiful thing!
I forgot to celebrate the year anniversary of me being a self employed girl boss (it was over a month ago lol). Itās really hard!!! No sick days!!! But I loveeeeeeee love loveee to help make clothes fit and live a longer life! And making new things and teaching! Iāve been so obsessed with clothing and making it for 20 years now!!! Thank you to everyone who has come to me in the past year (and before even when I was trying to make it work from my kitchen lol). Youāve all been patient and supportive and Iām so grateful :,) Iām still learning!!! And doing my best!!!
Alyson Samways (@alysonsamways ) is one of our newest artists in the space and what a joy it is to have her around - great for team morale. Sheās a highly skilled seamstress and can tailor any piece of clothing into a thing youāll wear forever.
This Saturday at the open studio event sheāll be selling her fluffy lacy silk scrunchies and hair ties. You can shop her selection of amazing vintage clothing finds - SHEāS GOT THE GOODS
