( place )

it's been cooler (finally!)

and i've been ever so busy with my needle and thread.

catching up with custom orders & perhaps getting ahead of the holiday rush.

the cooler weather means i can venture back up into my tiny attic studio.

which is naturally cold in the winter & roasting in the summer.

and it is tiny. more of a garret, really.

i spend most of my time spread out on a large couch, covered in small scraps of fabric

and trailing bits of thread when i run downstairs to refill my tea.

i can't tell you how often my mind wanders to a time

when i'll have a real studio space.

a place to spread out, see everything at once.

and not have to transport projects all over the house

because i need a table or light or space to lay something out.

a place to be messy and place to play.

some of my favorite inspirations...

not too neat. not too serious. never too clean.

and perhaps the perfect place to hold it all.

a reclaimed barn in the woods where the fresh air can come in

and there's room to breathe.

a girl can dream, can't she?
