~True Autumn~

Crisp leaves and silent walkways. You can hear a pin drop. School has started and fall is well underway. Turning the wood stove on, and making pumpkin spice lattes. Grabbing your old boots from the back of the closet and a scarf or two. This is True Autumn. You have been enduring the heat long enough, and are happy to see fall's face turn that corner.

I introduce to you, ~True Autumn~. The truest of the autumns with no influence from any other season. With added gold sparkle pinstripes.

Coming This October/November

~Soft Summer~

Imagine, the warmth of the sun right before it sets. Sitting on the porch drinking tea and watching the leaves go from their normal crisp green to that faded dull green right before fall hits and hearing grasshoppers. Labor day camping trips at the lake sitting by the campfire. Enjoying the final bloom of your rose garden. This is soft summer. <3

Collection to begin September and release October

With silver sparkle strands as well

Welcome

My favorite part of the process of baby wrap making is bundling them all up together and looking at all that color! IT is so beautiful! To imagine that every tiny square inch of that fabric had been touched by human hands is quite the thought isn't it? All 700+ strands had glided through fingertips, and every piece of weft glided through fingertips while winding. Hand weaving is such a rewarding hobby. Not only do I get the warm fuzies from knowing my wraps get to snuggles babies, but I also proudly like to admire where this business has come.  Some of my very first baby wraps were just solid stripes. I am still so proud of them as the first day I wove them. Now I find myself yearning to know more and HOW far I can push myself in regards to design, texture, and weave. I continually tell my husband I have no idea how long I will be ABLE to do this. Not when must I stop, but how far can I go! Over the years, I have had random ideas come to life and I still have SO many more I want to show you. I hope with this blog to give you a little story of inspiration with each collection to come. Maybe a post on my favorite things of weaving and maybe even some hardships. Welcome to the Calypso Handwoven family blog <3
