Words can not express the gratitude I have for my friends and family - to have my brother with me this last week has felt extra special ✨️ its been a week full of adventure, good food, guitar, bush walks, swims, deep conversations, making stuff, partying and plenty of laughs - my heart is full and I now feel ready to take on this 38th chapter.

Okay 9 things....
1. #memade - don't believe me? Check out my highlights reel.
2. Highlighter moment with work wife @zosia_knits who also made her juicy neon dress!
3. This incredible colour was giving me slime kinda vibes...in a good way, you know? That dripping and lux intense colour brought me to a @billieeilish 2019 hair inspo moment, and thus, the dripping smiley in black seemed the perfect fit to embody that.
4. The dripping smiley was made with glass, half size, bugal beads for a jaggered, encrusted look - just a chill 10-14 hours of hand sewing later.
5. @makebytfs #tfsivydress in acid green wool crepe from @wearethefabricstore Auckland
6. Pattern mods - kept the collar single layer instead of folding in half for a turn down 60's kind of moment - adding length to it too for drama, of course. Sleeve was cut long and then turned back for a mega deep hem.
7.Love the freedom and movement in this pattern - I work in an office as well as a warehouse and can confirm it seamlessly transitions in both areas, and I look fabulous at all times.
8. The wool crepe gives such a crisp, clean look. So happy with the texture of the cloth in this design.
9. Stoked.

10 hour solo road trip from Huia to New Plymouth and back again to drop off my artwork for the @thecollaborationnz ‘s Bright and Bold exhibition - coffee, op shop treasures, strawberries, a car full of soft stuff, art, ocean, blue skies, snow capped mountains, treaties with a view and topped off with a pug named Gary & a gal named @jo_seton_ . Perfect weekend.
