I have just finished a gradation on linen Moss for a very sweet mama from Poland (which I will show tomorrow as it`s still hanging on the "crane":); another linen beastie, a stripped Azur is prepared for a dip for tomorrow. This one is for another Polish lady and has been waiting for a few weeks now in the queue, but its` time has come finally.
And there`s the Rainforest grad on which I have to do some magical trick-definitely a plan for the weekend.
In the meantime I`d like to show off some of my recent acquisitions, which are so very special to me that I doubt I`ll be ever able to part with them.
First is the famous Rose silk indio, released by Didymos on 24th February, 2 days after my 32nd birthday (that number really looks bad!), so I treat it as a birthday present from me to I:)
It`s truly beautiful inspite of the pink, which in this case doesn`t bother me at all.
I love it from the first sight!
And then there is my custom full buckle ergo carrier made by the most talented, absolutely fabulous Aneta from http://www.tullimy.pl/
I sent her a 100% organically grown hemp corduroy which I dyed grey along with some Michael Moore fabric, and she created this wonderful thing:
I don`t think I`ve ever used anything as comfortable as this carrier. I am truly and deeply in awe! Thank you Aneta.
And last, but not least, my recent project (which to be honest has been in the making for a while now as I`m permanently free - time deprived). It`s a pure mix of organic hemp and silk; I had it hemmed by a professional London seamstress who has done an excellent job indeed. I`ve dyed it fuchsia pink using acid dyes, and still need to do a gradation from one rail, maybe with some Imperial Purple...? And then I`d like for it to be tested by babywearing mamas. Hopefully I`ll find time soon to finish that, and even more hopefully, I`ll find mamas ready to try it!
But from my own home testing so far I can tell it`s so supportive, and it wraps so neatly that it can be a proper summer wrap. What`s not to love about hemp and silk in the end...?
Here goes one picture for the start:
And before I finally go to sleep, here`s my little helper and constant inspiration, during our short break in snowy Poland. She wasn`t very fond of the snow, but nevertheless wanted to thank dear Sandra for something special she had sent!

That Hemp/Silk mix is intriguing, I know I'd be more than happy to give it a test for you :)
ReplyDeletegreat:) I`m trying to make it ready for this month still!
ReplyDeleteI tried clicking your link for the cord buckle carrier you had made and couldn't get the page to translate to english. Do you know if she has a waiting list to make more?
