Faux Leather Hudson Pants

Hi friends! It’s been a while! We’ve had lots of family visiting and lots of house projects going on over the past two months, and I did not have the mental capacity to blog (or find a new place to take pictures). So, I allowed myself to take a break, and it was great. But I’m excited to back sharing … Continue reading “Faux Leather Hudson Pants”

Marlo Sweater Obsession

I made so many favorites though, and it makes me smile when I see my closet full of pretty dresses that I MADE. In the spirit of slow fashion and … Continue reading “Dresses for Valentine’s”

Hey June Halifax Hoodie

This is a very late blog post and I will try my best to include all of the information that I usually do, but I made this 2+ years ago. In October 2021, I made my family dinosaur hoodies for Halloween, and I apparently never blogged about it! I did post it on Instagram, but a blog post wasn’t on … Continue reading “Hey June Halifax Hoodie”
