whoa! that was a long break! i had no idea my last post was canada day..
i feel guilty for the pause but it couldn’t be helped, the summer was completely consumed with wedding planning, lots of celebrating, not one but two ceremonies, wedding dress making (pics soon to come) and a gulf island hopping honeymoon adventure with my man. yes, i am married! and it was a summer more wonderful than i could have ever imagined.
now the leaves are turning, there is a new chill in the air and i am back at it in the studio, overflowing with ideas and inspiration. as much as i don’t want the summer to end the vision of pretty dresses with wooly tights and big, hand knit, chunky scarves is something to look forward to. this is one of those dresses i insert into that vision.
more to come soon, it’s nice to be back!
