One of my wholesale clients emailed today to ask for what the care instructions were for our midwifery weigh slings (pro tip … it’s on the swell care tags we source from Ontario’s own Laven LABELS & CRESTS )
And the question reminded me of this photo Marielle the Midwife shared with me of her sling collection hanging to dry 💕. (Pro tip #2. If you hang your weigh slings to dry, no only do you save energy but you don’t have to listen to the rings banging around in your dryer 😅😎)

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. What are you making as your personal commitment for Indigenous peoples? Not just for today but to carry forward with you? Read the calls to action and pick one (or more) that you can engage with.
We are all Treaty People

Miigwetch James Hodgson for the work you do! ( and for rocking it as humans in general) 🧡

So. I bought this Northcott quilt fabric but I’m having trouble deciding what to name it in my pattern listing. What do you think? It kind of reminds me of a watercolour paint box 🎨🖌️.

Labour Day this year is brought to you by this reusable tote bag upcycled from a broken umbrella
If you had the day off today with pay, if you don’t have to work an 80 hour, six day workweek, if you have ever had sick days, maternity or parental leave, or bereavement leave, if you have benefited from minimum wage, employment insurance, WSIB, workplace benefits or wage parity, —- take a few moments today to thank a union
When we work together, everyone is raised up together. The collective action of unionized workers has had a virtual spiral that leads to better working conditions for everyone — whether they are in a union or not
Power to the people!

Rolling home on Metrolinx at last! It’s been a long summer away from home
Finishing the last of my summer busy projects — finished the toes of a pair of socks and sewn in all the ends and now stitching the last few scraps on my scrappy basket while listing to This American Life
Time to start new projects for fall — and to get back to shipping orders for our business! 💕🙏💕
Thanks for the space to stitch ( but please! Can you turn down the heat in this car 😅)

So after several weeks of suspension, Etsy has allowed me to reopen my shop as long as I promise to be good and not tell Canadian shoppers about shopping from my site where I’m not legally required by our government to charge taxes because ( believe it or not) I’m not making enough money.
So that’s good
And at the same time, found this brick while cleaning up my moms back yard. A good reminder in these whackamole times
Be kind to each other. Buy Canadian. Love safely.

So Etsy has suspended our account but not sent any emails to say why they have 🤪🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe it was all those alligator Alcatraz stickers I reported as hate speech? But never seemed to get de-listed? Or? I’ll probably never know.
I guess if you want weigh slings you’ll need to hit me up old school with a dm or a visit to our home site like the good old days. And if you’re Canadian you won’t need to pay taxes

(Funny thing. The last email I got from Etsy a few days ago was that I was a 🌟)

Rainy Sunday back in the sewing shed for a few days to catch up on orders. Feeling the Sisyphean irony of working away sewing to pay taxes for our country to invest in the support of foreign unholy wars while I donate part of my retained earnings to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) so they can patch up those maimed on both sides of the conflicts ( when the occupying force allows them to do this safely) . As they say, there is nothing we can count on like death and taxes. Mark Carney — can we cut out the misery of this painful economic loop?
This album on loop — Feather,Fur&Fin by Canadian artist D A N N Y 🫀 M I C H E L. It’s an old one but a good one —who knew back in the first decade of this century that the world could get even more unstable — “If God is in your side, who’s on mine?”
Anyway. The fabric is cute — organic cotton & h**p blend. And labels from the awesome folk at Laven LABELS & CRESTS
