Radar is lighting up again around Thomson this afternoon ⛈️⚡️

Looks like another direct hit may be heading our way within the hour. Heavy rain, thunder and lightning all around us again today.

Ziva and I are staying weather aware and keeping a close eye on the sky 👀

Everyone stay safe out there today ❤️

A little look inside a vintage garment and the labels that tell its story. Older coats and furs often carried mill tags, fabric identifiers and manufacturing marks that helped trace quality and origin.

These tiny details are part of what makes vintage craftsmanship so interesting to work on.

Just me, yarn, and a quiet evening of crochet 🧶

Testing out a beautiful new stitch pattern for a baby blanket using the pastel yarn we unpacked yesterday. I love how the tiny flower-like texture is starting to appear already 💕

This one is still in progress, but if all goes well the finished blanket and beginner-friendly pattern should be ready soon.

Today’s project at Elena’s Alterations ✨

This beautiful bridesmaids dress needed 8 inches taken in and 5 inches hemmed. A lot of fabric, a lot of careful measuring, and slow steady sewing to make sure everything lays smoothly and fits just right 💚

One dress at a time… done right the first time.

Follow along for more behind-the-scenes alterations, sewing life, and everyday creativity from my little shop in Thomson, GA 😊
