Julia Fixes Things

Possibly one of the most overcalculted voiles and curtains we have ever made. I spend hours trying do to the math, but it was soo worth in the end.

Its been hard work and pleasure at the same time to work on this project. Thank you Terian Tilston Interior Design for trusting us to make window dressings and cushions.

Blinds wrapped, finished, and ready for their new home 🤍

I want to share something a little more personal today.

The reality of working after cancer treatment is very different from what you expect. You think you’ll bounce back. You think you’ll return to the same pace, the same energy, the same capacity.

But that’s not quite how it works.

Even though I’m incredibly grateful to have lots of enquiries, I often feel behind. Every single day. Some days, instead of a full day in the workroom, all I can manage is answering a couple of emails and ordering fabric. And that has been hard to accept.

I am so lucky to have the most wonderful clients — kind, patient, and understanding of my situation. No one puts pressure on me… except me. And learning to adjust my own expectations has probably been the biggest challenge.

Please bear with me. We are still very much here, still creating, still sewing, still wrapping up beautiful blinds like these. I’ll try to share more of what we’re working on — we’ve recently completed some gorgeous fabric curtains and blinds, thanks to Lena, who has truly been my rock through all of this. I just can’t show them yet!

I love my job deeply. I just don’t love that I can’t be as productive as I once was. But we keep going — steadily, carefully, and with heart.

Thank you for sticking with us 🤍
