Waiting…
by Meghan So, baby number four was due on Aug 28th and, you guessed it, I’m still waiting. I’m not a huge fan of this Time. I can’t really complain as my pregnancies have all been uncomplicated and healthy etc… the end bit is no fun. I am simultaneously excited to see who this new [...]
A stitch in time

Jenny Gordy, the name and face behind Wiksten Made, is not only a pretty one, but also one that is here to stay in this age of independent pattern companies. A long time daily read of mine, Wiksten has impeccable photographs and inspirational content to make any creative peep swoon. I am beyond thrilled to [...]
