So grateful to Helen, who after reading my blog about needing old wool jumpers, got her family to have a clear out. This is the result. Thank you Helen 😀♻️

It's important to pause once in a while and appreciate the smaller things in life. Running a one woman show can be quite over whelming at times #mindfulness #thoughfortheday #meditation #selfemployed #workfromhome #soletrader #onewoman #onewomanbusiness #onewomanband

This lovely upcycled wool pinafore dress with it's hand loomed Scottish bodice can be found over at @thewoolclip. #choosewool #Cumbria

Last but not least is a longer length frock. It looks rubbish on the mannequin. Will attempt to model it tomorrow providing it doesn't look even worse on me! Bet Armani doesn't have this trouble #upcycled #ethicalfashion #monochrome #plussizefashion

Ice blue and shades of grey in this upcycled wool dress for someone with relatively slim good. That's me out of the picture then! #upcycled #ethicalfashion #petite #wool #shadesofgrey

This one is already spoken for! It's a bespoke order. #upcycled #ethicalfashion #monochrome #blackandwhite #lambswool #choosewool

Next, a harlequin patterned jumper gets the Woolly Pedlar treatment in this more generous sized jumper dress. #upcycled #ecofashion #harlequin #monochrome #wool #choosewool

I have a series of fairly monochrome numbers to show you. First up, this sixties feel jumper dress. #upcycled #ethicalfashion #monochrome #blackandwhite #choosewool

Early morning here in rural west Northumberland. I feel so blessed to live here & to be able to work from home #northumberland #countrylife #countryliving #rurallife #workfromhome #mondaymotivation
