take your time loving me

take your time loving me

it's her story, but it could be any mother's story.

how to be a person and a mother, both.  

this has been one of the biggest riddles of my life.

i consider margaux one of my sisters in art and making.  

i'm going to back this project and i so hope you'll join me.

three things

one   my new peg and awl t-shirt which i love.  it's super soft, perfectly worn in and i love the design. 

two    i've had a pile of clothes waiting for mending and patching.  this morning i patched a skirt and this sweater and i'm pleased with both.  

three   the bracelet was my great grandmother's.  it's from the 1933 world's fair.  i almost never wear it.  i'm going to remedy that.  it looks good with the wrist tattoo.

i was so very lucky to meet margaux of the black spot books via the internet and etsy.  we, along with alice of forestbound, shared a couple tents at brooklyn renegade this past summer.  spending time with them was the best part of the fair for me.

so, i wanted to share a link to the new york times article margaux and her husband, walter, were featured in here.  i also wanted to pass along this wonderful video above of walter talking about his work process and materials for their shared business, peg and awl.  i will post video no. II when it comes out.
