A favourite upcycled denim coat, that I won a Hive.blog sewing competition with! Made from a few pairs of pale, soft denim jeans, it was a masterpiece effort, which I wish now that I'd kept... (It most unfortunately was stolen by a young woman from England, who I trusted to pay me in instalments for it 😦) Losing it does help motivate me to create another one!

Working in our forest today was spectacular and deeply full-filling; every session feels like a return to the embodied indigeous being that I knew as a child. Clearing paths, chopping wood, selecting which trees should flourish... sacred tweaking and the methodical strengthening of our bodies, calming of our minds and emotions. Our land becomes more ours, with every right action πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€—πŸͺ΅β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ«€ #homesteading #sovereignty #naturallaw #freedom image
Stripes & Vintage Embroidery - my latest post over on the Hive.blog; "It was a joy working the vintage embroidery into the bottom of the trews! They clash & harmonise in equal measure, and for me they bring more meaning and beauty into fabrics that previously were rather conservative."
