A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Scrap Pillows

Trick-or-treating was a success last night despite the rain. Maybe it’s all the social events that are part of October that’s affecting our schedule, but it’s been a trying couple of weeks  — K can’t seem to fall asleep before 11pm, which leads to much crotchetiness, whining and cajoling and all sorts of emotions. We have a very tired household…

I am thinking of sleep and rest, and that makes me think of pillows. I made these pillows out of scrap fabric left over from K’s clothes. Neutral, calming, a bit nautical. They make me want to lie down and drift off to dreamland…

I have a dress and possibly a coat to share with you tomorrow. Stay tuned!

    Thanks guys! I think the key to an earlier bedtime is an even earlier wake-up time. I am so not a morning person and she obviously takes after me…

I’m not known for my green thumb, but I’ve bee I’m not known for my green thumb, but I’ve been able to nurture the indigo plant seeds that my dear friend @rachelannbillingsgrunig gave me (harvested from her own garden!). Rachel is a master at natural dyeing and I’m super excited to learn from her and create indigo-dyed linen. This is all I have going on in the gardening front, but these bright green seedling leaves sure feel perfectly summer-y to me…🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
