Creative Hiatus

Hello Friends! I am taking a bit of a break from both Berkshire Hostess eshops and enjoying a creative hiatus this autumn. Homeschooling is really rolling along - Jett and I are enjoying the freedoms that come with the territory and I feel the need to follow my creative tangents. So - carpe diem! - here I go. :)

Transition Time!

Blog updates will be a bit less frequent as I prepare and transition our family from glorious summertime to the new schedules of autumn. In a few weeks, I will be happily wrapped up in homeschooling and both of my etsy shops will showcase only my favorite goodies.

Herringbone Wool Cloche


A lovely handmade hat in black and white with netting and an ostrich feather, now in the eshop!

Patchwork Blessing


This fall I will be homeschooling our youngest son and I am so looking forward to this! I am digging out our favorite books and perusing the web for new materials, putting together a curriculum for him for third grade. A patchwork of enriching goodies! My etsy shops will have to share my attention - there is a 20% off everything sale right now in the clothing and fiber shop. I have not adjusted prices - just purchase and pay as usual and then I will refund the difference to your Paypal account. I am focusing on filling the hat shop until school begins. A few hats are discounted there, too. (Selah!)

Groovy Flare Pants


Oh yes, we stopped at IKEA in San Diego to snatch up some delicious funkadelic fabrics for our home and this afternoon I made myself some new flares! A happy dose of orange in a marine blue sea of shapes and swirls and such! Happy Tuesday!

Now in the eshop, you can check out this awesome hand knit hat for a tween (modeled by my own tween!). I made a matching knitted flower pin in case you want to girl it up!
