    • The snow is sparkling like a million little stars - Lama Willa. . On our way to the bus stop this morning the snow truly was sparkly ✨ It’s been snowing since yesterday and the snow has stuck... which makes this kid ridiculously happy! I’m feeling a touch cold and unprepared, and honestly slightly overwhelmed with our weekly schedules lately in general (I asked myself all day if I was maybe doing too much, or maybe Tuesday’s are my Monday 🤔) but the beauty of this season gets me every time, so I’m trying to appreciate that today and trying to slow down mentally to take it all in ❤️❄️ . . . . #winterisourfavorite #reallife #snow #gooutside #outdoors
    • Remember this Geodesic sweater I made last winter? I pulled it out again this week and figured while we’re at it, I might as well share some updated thoughts on it for #howdthatwork I still love this fabric!! It’s still the comfiest/squishiest sweater I own and makes for the BEST rink sweater (i usually toss on a scarf with it, my go to ‘accessory’ when at the rink). . Now on the negative side, there’s a lot of seams in the sweater, so I may take a hammer to them to flatten them a bit, I do find it can be pretty bulky. And I have excess fabric and bulk around the armscye, so in the future I may have to figure out how to take that out. 🤔. . Final thoughts, still love it and still in rotation and 99% of the time it’s worn with jeans and likely a scarf... I’d also be interested to try to pattern with a French Terry to compare with the sweatshirting. Fabric: bubblegum speckle sweatshirting from @imaginegnats (last year) Pattern: #geodesicsweatshirt by @blueprintsforsewing . #sewing #handmade #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #isew #makersgonnamake #sewsewsew #imaginegnatsshop
    • ‘Never be ashamed that you were not born a rose. Remember, wildflowers grow in the most peculiar places with strength in their roots and not their thorns’ -Raquel Franco 🌹🌸🌺. . Josie turned 4 on the 1st and we quietly celebrated her birthday. Trust me, I’m just as shocked as you are! Josie is anything but our quiet child, if I only had one word to describe her it would be WILD! . Our wild child knows what she likes and doesn’t like, and thinks she can do anything! On a dreary day, she can be either the thunderstorm 🌩 that rolls in or the rainbow that lifts it all away 🌈 She loves horses (and thinks it’s her turn to ride every time we pull into the barn) and wants to skate just like everyone else... . She won’t let anyone stop her! Go far child, you have it in you 💕💕

    • Made a few tees for coaches gift for the end of year lacrosse team party this week. This being our first time doing lacrosse it was fun to see how they did and learn new things. I didn’t make the shirts, but I did do an HTV, lettering inspo courtesy of @shawnnahall I think these turned out fun! #lacrosse #coachesgifts #handmade #makersgonnamake #cricut #cricutmade #lacrossecoach #alwaysmaking #making #DIY #diygifts #diygiftideas
    • Well here we go again!! . Someone is super pumped that he made the Novice AA team!!! . Last night when I got home he told me he skated hard, worked hard and left it all on the ice during the last tryout skate. And that he had his fingers crossed that he’d get a good email 🤞🏼🤞🏼. . He was so excited when he got his email! He’s looking forward to this season that’s for sure! 🏒🥅. . #alltherinksallthetime @bmhacolts #barrieminorhockey #hockey #hockeymom #tryouts #makingmemories #workhardplayhard #workforit #playhockey #rinklife #hockeyplayer
    • Alright!!!! For once, I’m actually ahead of the game since I already have my fabric on hand. So now I’ve put together a few cardigan options that have grabbed my eye for this month’s #projectSEWIT . Top left: Blackwood Cardigan by @helens__closet . I’m probably the LAST person to sew this up, but this will be the one I’ll be doing this month!!! . Top right: Olso by @seamworkmag , I like the collar and low and oversized button details on this one. . Bottom right: Wrapped Cardigan by @seamlyco . I loooove how easy these types of cardigans are to throw on! Plus if you have a lighter weight knit or want a lighter weight cardio it’s a great option. . Bottom left: Jamie Cardigan by @ready_to_sew . A modern take on a classic, I’m liking the look of this oversized cardigan. . So I’d love to know what you plan on sewing up this month! Which cardigan pattern has grabbed your attention for this fall? . . . #sewing #sewsewsew #handmade #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #sewcialists #makersgonnamake #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #cardigan #isew #lovesewing #sewcialist
