After work yesterday, Annie and I sat in the garden. She had a snooze, and I spun on my beautiful Turkish spindle 🧶. I haven't spun for a couple of years, but recently had an urge to use handspun as the contrast colour in a jumper I'm planning on knitting. It really is magical to see the floofy fibres become a single strand of yarn. I'll ply two strands together before I knit with it.
We're heading out into the Peak District today - the weather is absolutely 🌞 glorious 🌞 (sun lotion etc all packed!).
I'll share photos later 🏞️🌳🌿🌞.
- a white Galga snoozes with her head resting on the tattooed legs of her hoomum. A Turkish spindle rests between the human's legs. It is nearly full of golden yarn.

Good morning friends 🌞. It looks like today is going to be lovely, and tomorrow, Annie and I are heading out into the Peak District. It will be our first proper adventure since our attack and I'm nervous and excited. But I know she will love going out for a big walk and lots of exciting sniffs 🏞️🌳🌿.
Just one pesky work day to get through first. 💻📚😑
- a white unicorn lounges in a sunlit garden. She has temporarily moved into the shade, but will recommence toasting herself like a marshmallow shortly. Her mouth is wide and she looks like she is smiling (she's panting really).

Happy hump day friends 🐪
I've got one more week of work and then I'm off for two weeks 🖤 - no real plans except rest, walking, sewing, knitting, and my two new loves Cyberpunk 2077 and spinning on my Turkish spindle (not the stationary cycling type of spinning obvs).
Plus I'll be sample sewing for autumn! I'll put a model call out in the newsletter next week 💅🏻✨.
- a flat lay image of a hound bandana laid on a brown faux wooden surface. The bandana is reversible, and the visible side is pale grey with a print of illustrated console controllers and Gameboys. A peach Nintendo Switch is placed at the bottom left of the image.

I love you 🤍🩷🤍
Where is summer please? Yesterday was lovely but there was cold, then warm, then rain, then really warm, and then back to chilly again 😑.
Happy Monday friends - I'm marking and working on a paper for a journal today 📚🖊️💻.
- a white female human and her white Galga take a selfie in the garden. The human has black bobbed hair and wears a green hand knitted cardigan. The Galga is beautiful beyond words.

16/06/2024

It's Sunday! I've got orders to pack, and then Mr Bracken & Paws is coming to visit - I think we might go to our local city farm to say hello to the goats 🐐.
This is the tee I released as part of 🎲 - one for you tabletop and strategy types ☺️. I love the colours. This sample is en route to 🖤.
- a flat lay image of a hound tee laid on a brown faux wooden surface. The tee is mustard coloured with a print of dice and cats. It is bound with pink trim.

15/06/2024

Annie and I had a day off yesterday - we went into town, got coffee and a lovely berry croissant 🥐 (I shared obvs), got my hair refreshed by the ever magical .co.uk 💆🏻‍♀️, and then headed home for sofa snuggles. Our evening was rudely interrupted by very loud thunder and rain 😑. Annie hated it 😔.
Swipe to spot .co.uk new apprentice 🦄✨.
1) a white Galga stands beside a brutalist graffitied substation in Sheffield. The sky looks slightly ominous and she is wearing a pink tee because apparently it's not summer yet. 2) Angela takes a mirror selfie of herself and her hair magician at work covering her pesky greys. In the bottom right corner, a snoot and heart face can just be seen.

Thank you for welcoming my somewhat niche Venn Diagram collection that unites hound and video game lovers 🤣👾🕹️🎮🎲🖤. I've still got bandanas and a few tees in stock 🖤.
Today, I'm going to get my hair coloured and Annie is coming with 💅🏻✨. My headache has finally gone and I managed to play a bit more last night (the text is so small even when you set it to the largest size 😑. I don't have a huge TV so I have to sit closer than I'd like just to be able to read the text. I am invested though and I'm enjoying it more this time).
Happy friends 👾🎮🕹️🎲.
- more brilliant graphic design from Angela. A photograph of a white Galga wearing a retro gamer-themed bandana is imposed over a violet-toned image of a keyboard and consoles. The text reads .

A houndsome man has entered the chat 🎮
releases this evening at 6pm BST 🕹️🎮🎲👾. It's a teeny collection - just one tee and a reversible bandana 🖤. But it was excellent fun, and I definitely want to revisit this theme in the future.
I'm recovering slowly from a horrible migraine - today is day three, and I have some lingering nausea, eye pain, and a sense that I was run over several times by a bus 😔.
- a handsome blue greyhound sits on his grey bed against a deep grey wall. Cushions add pops of colour. He is wearing a bandana with a print of various gaming consoles and controllers.

11/06/2024

A rare from Annie 🦄. She's normally a super dignified sleeper, so it's always a treat when she lets that little ham slice slide out of her mouth.
Today's tasks include marking dissertations and attempting to offer myself something more nutritious than chips, chocolate muffins, and biscuits.
Annie's bandana will be available from 6pm on Thursday this week! 🎮🕹️👾🎲
- a white Galga slumbers with her head resting against a mustard coloured velvet throw. Her eyes are closed and her mouth is relaxed. A tiny bit of pink tongue has escaped.

09/06/2024

Here's a proper photo of the bandana Annie was wearing in yesterday's post - it's reversible (will post the other side soon!). This side is a design by whose artwork I absolutely adore 🎮👾🕹️ - I've chosen a couple more of her prints for autumn 🍂.
We are going to our favourite woods today - for my heart rate and general anxiety levels. This will be the first time I'll have seen lots of off-lead dogs since our attack 😔. I hate how easily the attack could make my world tiny if I allowed it to.
- a flat lay image of a hound bandana laid on a brown faux wooden surface. The front of the bandana is a deep blue with illustrated floppy disks, cube puzzles, headphones, and game controllers. These are in shades of pink, orange and green. A peach Nintendo Switch showing the title screen for the game Then Outer Worlds is placed at the bottom of the image.

08/06/2024

(Can confirm I had a lot of fun with this last night).
? 🎮🎲🕹️👾 will launch next Thursday 13th June at 6pm BST 🖤.
It's a teeny collection - just one reversible cotton poplin bandana (seen on Annie here) and a tee. I've had a lot of fun with this and would definitely like to revisit this theme in the future.
I've always loved video games. I played text-based adventure games on my dad's ZX Spectrum when I was little, and then graduated to RPGs, strategy, and more adventures on the family Amiga 500 and my Sega Megadrive (there's a few for older friends 🤣). I had a long period where I didn't game, and then was introduced to Dragon Age: Inquisition and I've not looked back. Things had come on a bit and modern open world RPGs and everything I ever wanted 🖤. Total escape and wonderful, emotionally affective stories (RDR2 made me cry so many times). More recently, Mr Bracken & Paws has got me playing (mostly losing) online Scrabble and chess. He suggested the podcast 🎮🕹️ - I'm obsessed. Listening to folk talk about the games they love is an utter joy to me, and I'd definitely recommend the podcast.
- Angela has used her graphic design skillz/the Bazaart app to create this post. A white Galga sports a familiar pair of lilac headphones topped with cat ears. She wears a blue bandana, printed with joysticks, floppy disks, and cube puzzles. The background is a graphic of pixelated purple aliens. The text reads ' ' and underneath there is a purple loading bar. Angela is v proud of her skillz.

⚠️ Danger: Squirrel patrol in progress ⚠️
I love .andthefaebaes - Elfin demonstrates dedication to squirrel patrol every day 👏🏻. I can make another couple of pretzel 🥨 bandanas (there's pizza 🍕 on the reverse! 🤤).
In other news, we saw our first (on-lead) GSD since Annie's attack today. I don't think she really noticed but I felt sick with anxiety 😔. More work to do.
- a spicy Podenco looks up into the branches of a tree. This is squirrel patrol. He wears a black and yellow harness - this man is at work and must not be disturbed.

05/06/2024

Throwing it back to last year 🩷
Larry looked so houndsome in pink - I miss that sugar dusted face and that deep, soft fur. I don't think he misses modelling though 🤣
I can make a few more of these bandanas and I've got a new printed reversible bandana coming soon! 🎮🎲🕹️👾.
- a black senior greyhound stands on a pavement by a grassy space. He wears a pink floral bandana and a black muzzle. His face, chest, and legs are dusted with white.

04/06/2024

Good morning friends 🖤
Today, Annie would like to offer you the opportunity to admire her lemgthy snoot
We are going to the vet at lunchtime to get her clip taken out and have a wound check (everything looks grand except for the bit where she licked a scab off 😑. She's a master of covert operations and committed the crime under the cover of a blanket).
It looks like a beautiful day to attend lots of online meetings 🤣.
- a white Galga lies on Angela's sunlit faux lawn. Her limbs and snoot look impossibly lemgthy. She does not obey mortal rules of physics.

03/06/2024

HoundsomeTigger 🖤. I think we can call this image ' Waiting expectantly for Chippies' 🍟. I can make one more tee (whippet or small lurcher size) 🔪.
Happy new week friends. We had a super day yesterday ☺️. We saw Mr Bracken and Paws, had a nice walk down to the pub for lunch. Annie received Yorkshire pudding, chippies, carrots, and swede from our plates. Her favourite is Yorkshire pudding for sure, I think I know what to make for her birthday 🤣. She's due to have her staple out at the vet tomorrow ✨.
- a toasted brindle greyhound lounges on a plaid blanket. He wears a lilac and pink 'true crime and chills' tee. He is looking up past the camera to the food on his pawrents' plates.

💤🦄 A sleeping unicorn 🦄💤
What letter do Annie's limbs form this time?
- a white unicorn, in her mortal form of a white Galga, sleeps soundly on a sofa covered with a brown blanket. Her limbs and tail are arranged artfully.

01/06/2024

It's a week since our attack.
A week of waking up and my first thought being to remember her screams and the blood.
A week of peering around every corner before I let her walk further.
And a week of weird feelings. We have felt so supported and loved here. I feel a weird guilt that we got off 'lightly' - it could have been so much worse, and many of you have experienced far worse.
The police were in touch yesterday. They are going to visit the property and see if anything can be put in place to mitigate against the risk of a dog escaping again. It was a horrible, awful accident.
- a white female human and her white Galga take a selfie in their local pub. The human smiles at the camera, whilst the hound looks up towards the ceiling - she's clearly seen something that mortal eyes would not recognise.

31/05/2024

So. Utterly. Houndsome.
Shadow .houndie is an egg enthusiast and international chaos goblin 👺 - I love his account so much. I can make one more eggs on toast tee 🍳🍞🍳.
I'm going to have one small summer release - not sure when but it's 🎮🕹️🎲👾 themed! I've got all my fabrics either in my house or en route, so keep an eye out for a model call. I'm going to use the newsletter mailing list for that 📬.
So yeah, it's and nearly a week since our attack. It feels simultaneously like forever ago and also as if it just happened. Annie seems fine both physically and behaviour-wise. I'm struggling to relax on walks and keep getting tremors, heart pounding, and feeling hot (in a bad way 🤣).
- a frankly god-like black greyhound stands in the countryside on a sunny evening. The shadows are lemgthy (as is he). His head is turned to the left of the image. He wears a pale blue tee with a print of eggs on toast. He is the kraken, international chaos goblin extraordinaire.

30/05/2024

It's a horrid rainy morning here in Sheffield, so let's do a to a couple of weekends ago when Annie and I visited in the glorious sunshine ☀️.
We went for pizza at our local pub last night and Annie met a smol new friend called Scully (👽🛸). She was her usual self, a quick hello and then requesting fuss from the hoomans. She continues to amaze me everyday.
My tee is from the incomparable 🖤.
- a white female human and her white Galga are photographed at a blue table outside a cafe which is also painted blue. The cafe is festooned with multicoloured bulbs around the roof. The Galga has placed her front feet up on the bench where her human is sitting. They are looking at each other, eye to eye.

29/05/2024

🖤 Friends 🖤
As Annie and I continue to recover (trash TV and so much sleep. I think our cortisol levels are normalising now), we're feeling super grateful for the community here, and the friends we have made, both online and in-person.
Thank you so much for your support - it has been a tremendous help and reassurance and we have never felt alone.
Annie's favourite friends are hooman because they have hands to fuss, scritch, and provide treats. But she does love her walks with - he's a solid and reassuring presence, and Annie would recommend him to others as a pillow 🤣. His hoomans are okay too 🤣 - Peaks walk soon please?
- a black and white greyhound and a white Galga stand together on some grass against a backdrop of deep green foliage. They are looking in opposite directions. One has definitely seen a squirrel, the other is pretending to look for one.
(Both hounds were on lead - leads have been magically edited out).

28/05/2024

🎶 We can do it with a little treat 🎶
(NB Annie consumed no chocolate 🍫).
Her strength and resilience amaze me. I'm going to get brave again for her 🖤.
- a white Galga licks a mint Cornetto held by her hoomum.

27/05/2024

Thank you again for all your comments and messages - I have told Annie how very loved she is 🖤 (she thinks it's the bare minimum that she is due 🙄). And thank you to folks who shared stories of their own attacks and advice for managing the aftermath. Thankfully, Annie's physical injuries are healing well (she does have some epic bruising, as do I 😔). I'm struggling with seeing it happen over and over in my mind. It could so easily have been so much worse if the owner hadn't come out and got control of his dog. We've been out on a few short walks (not past that house obvs, never again. Ever. I keep remembering her blood all over the pavement 😭). We haven't met an off-lead dog yet, but have seen some on-lead and Annie wasn't concerned. I am very worried about how I will feel around off-lead dogs, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it.
In the meantime, have a pic of Annie basking in the sun from last weekend ☀️. Such a strong, brave girl.
- a white Galga closes her eyes against the sunshine. She looks utterly blissed out. Her chocolate mauve snozz is highlighted by the sunlight. In the background you can see Angela's legs and the super scenic scaffolding on her house.

26/05/2024

So yesterday was horrendous. Thank you for all your kind messages - I've read them all out to Annie 🖤.
Yesterday morning we were attacked by a GSD who hadn't been secured properly. It shot out of the garage and attacked Annie and me. Both Annie and I were screaming, I'll never forget the noise of utter terror, pain, and confusion which she made after he finally got his dog off her. There was blood everywhere.
I'm so grateful to our wonderful vets Peak Vets who let us in when we appeared in hysterics on their doorstep ahead of opening hours. They saw Annie immediately and cared for her and made me a restorative sugary brew.
Annie has several puncture wounds around the top of her right foreleg - one needed a staple. I have a huge bruise on my thigh. We're both shaken. When I was a child, my dad's afghan hound was attacked by a GSD - I remember him appearing at our living room window, holding her in his arms. She was soaked in blood. He didn't report the attack, and the dog went on to kill another dog. I have reported our attack for this reason.
I feel like it was some weird cycle that I was fated to complete. Almost as if I knew it would happen again to us. And now it has, and we need to cope with the awful mental toll this has taken on us.
- a white Galga lies on her blue sofa covered with a slightly garish throw. She is surrounded by her favourite toys. She looks tired.

24/05/2024

Quick selfie of us last night 🖤 - Annie came to meet me in the pub! She was so pleased to see me (and I was super happy to be reunited with her too 🖤).
I'm very in love with my new jumper (fast fashion via Vinted) - channelling (©️ ) 🖤🧛🏻‍♂️🥀. I'm cutting out orders today ✂️ - it's a long weekend for us so I'll be able to take things slowly ☺️.
Happy friends 🖤🌿✨.
- a white female human and her white Galga sit on a red bench in a pub. The human's drink is in the foreground. The human sports a black jumper with frilly cream yoke and a big black bow. She wore this ensemble to teach simulated practice at work and has no regrets. The Galga has placed one foot upon the table - service please!

23/05/2024

An early start this morning as I'm on campus today 😑 (I hate leaving Annie SO MUCH 😭).
looks so houndsome in his tee 🔪🖤🔪. This is no longer in the shop but I can make one whippet-sized sleeveless tee (crew or polo) - DM me to claim 🖤.
- a dark brindled greyhound stands on a part in front of trees. To the left of the photograph, you can see some remnants of snow. The sunlight shines through the green leaves of the trees. The hound wears a lilac tee with pink trim.

22/05/2024

I have emerged from my horrible migraine yesterday - weirdly the head pain wasn't the worst bit this time. I had visual disturbances, sharp nerve pain all down the right side of my face, and just a feeling of being deep under water. I don't remember much of yesterday at all. Awful.
It's pouring with rain today 🌧️😑, so I'm thinking back to our beautiful Sunday walk. We visited - so incredibly dog friendly and human friendly. They were super busy, but our orders arrived quickly and the food and drinks were beautiful. Annie had a puppacino (swipe to see her inability to wait 🤣) and two sausages - such a lucky girl 🤍🦄✨.
Time to crack open the laptop and hope the migraine doesn't rebound 🤞.
- image 1) a white Galga rests her snoot on a bright blue wooden table. She looks hopefully at her hoomum's veggie breakfast. Image 2) immediately after the arrival of her puppacino, the Galga places her front feet on the table and helps herself.

Sunny zoomies from yesterday whilst we listened to #TTPD 🥀. Her spatial awareness is amazing - she stops right by where I'm laid on the ground with my phone, but never touches me 🖤.

Today prompt is 'brand' 🖤🥀🕸️🪦⚰️🔮 Annie arrived with me in November 2021 - it snowed the week after she came home and she was utterly unimpressed. I had purchased some tees for her, but I was struggling to find something that fit my own aesthetic. Everything was baby cute or too jazzy. I wanted things for her which I would wear 🤣. And so I began to make clothes for her and soon afterwards, #BrackenAndPaws was born. And then I found out that loads of other folks wanted alternative, goth, and fandom hound attire too! And I found my little niche 🖤🕸️🥀. I'm so happy that folks come to me with fandom ideas and weird requests. I am SO HERE FOR IT ALL. I love your weird selves so much. . #Accessibility #ImageDescription - a highly edited image of a white female human, wearing a cape, dress, and tweed #WitchyDeerstalker, and her white Galga.

🎃 October 1st 🎃 It. Is. Time 🧹🧙🏻🍂✨🦇🖤 (jokes, it's always time 🙄). Here's Annie and I last year 🥀🌜 - mask was a premade cardboard thing from @hobbycrafthq painted by me. Clearly #ThatsNotMyHair 🤣. Mini hat thing also made by me in my brief lockdown foray into millenary (it's really hard and it hurt my hands. I'm going to stick with dressmaking 🧵🪡). I have some Halloween costume ideas for this year too and I can't wait to see your hounds wearing the brilliant #BrackenAndPawsBespokeCommissions you ordered. Such brilliant ideas. Tysm for choosing me. . #Accessibility #ImageDescription - a static photograph of a white Galga and her white female human. The image is overlaid with a flickery old film effect. Instagram now thinks this is a reel so let's see if I get popular. The human wears a black dress and a silver leaf pendant. Her face is obscured by a mask painted mint green with mustard cheeks. She wears an exceptionally cheap wig in a kind of nondescript courtly style. There are ringlets. The hound is grateful that she just has to wear her mauve jumper. . #BrackenAndPaws #BrackenAndPawsGetsSpoopy #AnnieTheGalga #GalgosOfInstagram #GalgoEspañol #TheInstaSighthound #SighthoundsOfInstagram #HalloweenHounds #Halloween #SpoopySeason #spoopy #RescuedIsMyFavouriteBreed #RescuedNotRetired #WinningHeartsNotRaces #PetsNotBets #EndGreyhoundRacing #FreeTheGalgo #FreeThePodenco #FromStreetLifeToSweetLife #AdoptDontShop #SheffieldSighthounds #SheffieldSmallBusiness #SheffieldIsSuper

It's been a while since I've shown you one of the tees I can make for tripawds ✨ I make them so you can slip them over the hound's head, and then fasten around the body rather than having to lift and manipulate the dog into the tee. I also cut the pattern flat (usually they are cut on the fold of the fabric so both halves are the same) to enable me to fit an asymmetric hound 🖤🪡🧵. Thank you @izzyandfinns for referring this project on to me 😊🖤. I love doing this kind of thing - do get in touch if you have any ideas for adaptations or things that would be useful to you 😊. Happy holiday day to folks in various countries 🖤 - we have a bank holiday here in the UK and I'm going to take Annie to our very favourite woods 🌿. . #Accessibility #VideoDescription - Angela kneels on a faux wooden surface and films a tripawd hound tee in pink fabric printed with goth bunnies.

🩷 Words to live by 🩷 I've never fit in. School was a long waking nightmare (I've said it before, but teenage girls are peak evil and I went to an all girls school from age 11 to 18. Utter daily torture 😔). I think it's only in the past year or so that I've really accepted my difference. Most of my friends live a long way away, some of them I've never met IRL and perhaps never will. But that doesn't matter - these are people to whom I've shown my true self and they've not shied away 🖤. I say no to things I don't want to do - gone is the pressure to go to busy and loud places, to go on terrible dates, to be anything other than my weird unique self. I'm heading to Wales today (five hours on the train 😭) to help my dear friend @katiegreenbean with their stall at @wonderwoolwales - I'm also very excited for the amazing food stalls (@thenobonesjones I am ready 🍽️) and (please be there) revisiting the most perfect apple and blackberry crumble ice cream I've ever eaten 🍦. And I might well purchase some yarn 🧶🐑. . #Accessibility #ImageDescription - a white Galga I'd photographed in a body piercing shop.

If you're looking for Angela explains something awkwardly, you've come to the right place 🧵🪡 I've offered adapted tees for nearly a year now. The project began with a request from @hugi_the_hound for a sleeved #tripawd tee which could be fastened around his front leg and avoid him having to be lifted or manhandled too much 😊 Later, non-tripawd hounds chose this option too. I originally used a large tummy flap with fastened along one side of the body. This worked with either the snap sleeves or a sleeveless tee with one large front leg hole. But it wasn't perfect - thank you so much for your feedback. This is how I can keep improving ✨ @islaandpepper suggested a different approach. A tee with two leg holes where the tummy panel was like a bib which fastened on each side of the body. That's what I'm attempting to demonstrate in this video 😊 #awkward Both options are online now 🖤🌿✨ . #Accessibility #ImageDescription - a short video shot from above. You can see Angela's hands as she demonstrates how the new adapted tee will fasten. . #BrackenAndPaws #BrackenAndPawsForTripawds #BrackenAndPawsAntiValentines #GreyhoundsMakeGreytPets #GreyhoundsOfInstagram #GreyhoundPyjamas #TripawdLife #TripawdsOfInstagram #SighthoundsOfInstagram #RescuedIsMyFavouriteBreed #RescuedNotRetired #WinningHeartsNotRaces #PetsNotBets #EndGreyhoundRacing #AdoptDontShop #SheffieldSighthounds #SheffieldSmallBusiness #SheffieldIsSuper

You must also be in possession of a magical wand ✨ and say the correct words at the correct time 🌙🔮 . #BrackenAndPaws #BrackenAndPawsInAutumn #BrackenAndPawsSnoods #BrackenAndPawsGetsSpoopy #SpoopySeason #PumpkinSpice #Pompkin #GreyhoundsOfInstagram #GreyhoundsMakeGreytPets #GreyhoundPyjamas #SighthoundsOfInstagram #GreyhoundSnood #RescuedIsMyFavouriteBreed #RescuedNotRetired #PetsNotBets #WinningHeartsNotRaces #AdoptDontShop #EndGreyhoundRacing #FreeTheGalgo #KnittersOfInstagram #SheffieldSmallBusiness #SheffieldSighthounds #SheffieldIsSuper

Too much drama? ✨ Of course not 🤣 Commander Larry of the SS SleepyBoi is here to tell you about the #BrackenAndPaws end of summer sale ✨🚀🪐 I've reduced some stock to make space (both physically in my workroom and also metaphorically in my anxious brain. I cannot cope with mess) for future collections (Christmas?! 😱). I'm also going to have a good tidy up and will likely discover forgotten treasures. I'll pop these in my stories for you to peruse 🌿🐾 One of my favourite things to watch whilst I sew/work/procrastinate are let's plays of various games. I'm currently deep into watching a Mass Effect playthrough which has had a clear influence on this post 🤣🚀🪐 . #LarryTheGreyhound #BrackenAndPaws #GreyhoundsOfInstagram #GreyhoundsMakeGreytPets #GreyhoundsInSpace #TheInstaGreyhound #TheInstaSighthound #SighthoundsOfInstagram #RescuedIsMyFavouriteBreed #RescuedNotRetired #EndGreyhoundRacing #PetsNotBets #WinningHeartsNotRaces #AdoptDontShop #SheffieldSighthounds #DogsOfSheffield #SheffieldSmallBusiness #IndieSheffield #SheffieldIsSuper https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChJhmBWquYG/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

Tripawd pyjamas 🌿🐾

🚨 Cue nervous fiddling 🚨 This week I finally posted out the #Tripawd pyjamas I had been working on for @hugi_the_hound 🖤 I felt a little sad to package them up as they had been my most involved project to date - I'd got really attached to them 🖤 I'm proud of this design and I can't wait to see Hugi in them. I'm keen to create more #accessible designs too, so please get in touch if that sounds interesting 🪡🧵 This beautiful fabric will be part of my autumn range 🍂🍄🍂 (I'm desperate to share my stash with you but am trying to retain a veneer of professionalism 🤣). . #BrackenAndPaws #BrackenAndPawsForTripawds #TripawdCommunity #TripawdLife #TripawdsOfInstagram #GreyhoundsOfInstagram #GreyhoundsMakeGreytPets #RescuedIsMyFavouriteBreed #RescuedNotRetired #PetsNotBets #WinningHeartsNotRaces #EndGreyhoundRacing #AdoptDontShop #SewistsOfInstagram #AutumnForever #GreyhoundPyjamas #SheffieldSmallBusiness #SheffieldSighthounds #DogsOfSheffield

Spring with Coco's Greytest Hits 🌸

Happy spring from the beautiful smiling angel that is @cocos.greytest.hits 🌸 Coco's hoomum sent me this perfect picture and I (of course) felt compelled to create this pastel delight 🐇🍨🌸 Coco is sporting her custom wide-leg #BrackenAndPaws pyjamas 🌿🐾 and she just looks like the sweetest perfection that there ever was 🖤 thank you so much Coco for your support (and that smile 😊). https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1174693203/greyhound-sighthound-lurcher-whippet?ref=shop_home_active_12&sca=1 . #BrackenAndPaws #BrackenAndPawsInSpringtime #BrackenAndPawsInTheWild #GreyhoundsOfInstagram #GreyhoundsMakeGreytPets #TheInstaGreyhound #TheInstaSighthound #TeefsOfInstagram #GreyhoundTeefs #RescuedNotRetired #AdoptDontShop #SmallBusiness #SupportSmallBusinesses #IndependentSheffield #SheffieldIsSuper #Etsy

Greyhounds in Space

It turns out that doing ridiculous and very amateur photo edits of #GreyhoundsInSpace makes my heart very happy 🌌🚀🛸 Here's beautiful Venus in her #BrackenAndPaws galaxy ✨ pyjamas. Her hoomum requested the cerise trim and I am so here for it 🖤 This fabric is now sold out at the supplier - I've got enough for two more tees (sleeved or sleeveless) so if your hound would like to go where no other hound has ever gone before 🚀, get in touch. I hope you enjoy these daft edits as much as I do 🤣 And thank you Andrea Borrell for the photographs and kind words. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1167750860/dog-greyhound-sighthound-pyjamas-crew?ref=shop_home_feat_2 . #BrackenAndPawsInSpace #Galaxy #DigitalPrint #InAGalaxyFarFarAway #GreyhoundsMakeGreytPets #GreyhoundsOfInstagram #TheInstaGreyhound #TheInstaSighthound #GreyhoundPyjamas #SmallBusiness #SupportSmallBusinesses #SewistsOfInstagram #SheffieldIsSuper #IndependentSheffield #Etsy #EtsyUK
