Always snuggling 🩷 Posting lots of orders out today - my queue is down to a manageable size and I'll be cracking on with winter samples next weekend (aiming to launch after Halloween 🎃 - I need to rummage in my diary and identify a date).

Cosy snoot for your Sunday morning. It was actually pretty nippy on our morning walk - it might be time for gloves soon! (I have so much knitwear just desperate to be worn so please forgive me for wishing for cold weather ❄️).

🎃 Happy October! 🎃 #TheMostWonderfulTimeOfTheYear I'm having the staircase decorated so we've got 😱men in the house😱 - Annie is, obviously, delighted by this and has been much admired. I can make a couple more #BrackenAndPawsXJamieSappArt Halloween hounds tees 🍂👻🕸️🧟‍♂️.

"Mummy, pleeeease". Annie saw a couple of cute lil' places to add to her property portfolio. Which one should she put an offer in on? (Her offer is to allow the vendor to spend time with her and provide her with attentions).

1) a white Galga and her human mummy stand in front of iron gates. Behind them, you can see Levens Hall at the end of a long drive. 2) the Galga views a more modest potential residence. This one is actually for sale. It's a beautiful big stone farmhouse with five bedrooms (anyone want in?).

My house is currently a bit of a mess as I'm awaiting decorators next week, so please excuse the #WhoGivesACrap box behind Annie 🧻. But she does indeed look nice today, and I love her cute sit on my new leopard print stairs 🐆.

Morning friends. Let's have a lil' #TongueOutTuesday from Annie. There's one #HeatedRivalry tee left online 🏒 - I'm so ready for the next season. As I type this, Annie is rubbing her sardine-scented snoot over my hand. I do not wish to do work.

a white Galga is photographed on her usual blue sofa. She wears a yellow tee with illustrations inspired by the show Heated Rivalry. She's looking at the camera head on, and a semi-circle of pink tongue is visible.

🩷 Good morning mummy 🩷 I'm pushing on with orders today 📬. I'm going to be away next weekend, so I'll pick up remaining orders at the start of October. I hope this is okay - I desperately need a little rest 🩷. I'll put out a newsletter next week with a call for winter/festive sample models ❄️☃️🫎

It's so close to being #TheMostWonderfulTimeOfTheYear 🎃. I've sewn up lots of orders for the latest #BrackenAndPawsXJamieSappArt collaboration - I love this print so much. I can make a few more of these - printed on soft sweatshirt jersey. brackenandpaws.etsy.com/listing/4554...

Work and life continue to be frantic 🤯 but I'm enjoying watching signs of autumn arriving in the world around me. My walks with Annie are little pockets of peace amongst phonecalls and emails. brackenandpaws.etsy.com/listing/4554...

From our Mam Tor walk a couple of weeks ago. This is the climb up to Hollins Cross and I find it pretty challenging 🤣. I love this photo of Annie and I getting a breather (even though I look like a disheveled sweaty mess 🤣). She's just the best adventure friend.

a white female human and her white Galga take a selfie on a grassy hill. The human is windswept and out of breath. Not her most poised look, but she is happy. She wears a black and slime green striped top. The Galga is sitting beside her and is panting. She looks considerably better than her mummy.

Beautiful little Skye in her blackberry print tee 🍇 in the Best Light Ever. Thank you so much for your orders and for sharing photos like this. I've got a few of these tees left in stock. The print is so detailed and pretty. brackenandpaws.etsy.com/listing/4555...

I'm having my usual annual leave migraine 😔 - apparently my body does not enjoy my attempts to relax 🤣 (although I don't feel relaxed, I'm super anxious about the start of the new semester and other stuff and things).

Yesterday, we did a circular walk from Edale via Mam Tor. This ascent up to Hollins Cross nearly broke me again 🤣 but Annie was in full mountain goat mode. I love seeing how agile she is. And thank you so much for supporting the shop update yesterday 🎃.

a white mountain goat/Galga stands on a steep stony path. She is finding the ascent effortless in direct contrast to her sweaty breathless mummy (not pictured, thankfully). The grass to either side of the path is dry but starting to go green again. The sky is blue.

Whatcha looking at? 🤣 In addition to Annie's fabulous rear end, I also have a new collection launching this evening! I hope you love it. Annie and I are heading into the Peaks today ☔.

I thought I'd try something new for this autumn, and these little horror hound portraits screamed pin badges to me, so now we have these cute wooden pins! This is the larger size (40mm) and looks cute on a bag or clothing, or anywhere you'd normally pop a pin badge 🧟‍♀️.

Another piece of autumnal joy 🎃🍂🦋 available on Friday from 6pm BST. I'm so ready for autumn. We're forecast thunder and rain here and I can feel how dense and heavy the air is. It makes me feel tired and dizzy. A fresh breeze would be so welcome. Anyway, what do you think of this tee? 🎃

One is cream and has illustrated moths running down it, and the other is pumpkins on burgundy. The polo neck and tummy panel are made from a burgundy ribbed fabric and the tee is trimmed with teal.

🤍 Twinsies 🤍 I should probably be touting my autumn wares, but I also need to show you this 🤣. Annie used to have a high prey drive for cats, and would commando crawl under cars to get to them. It's all faded over the nearly five years that she's lived with me. This encounter made me smile.

My ability to get up early appears to have vanished 💤. I find sleeping late (for me) incredibly frustrating and I feel guilty about 'wasting' time. Here's Annie doing some professional-level resting. In the first pic, she's wearing a new print which will be released on Friday 28th August 🥀.

1) a white Galga snoozes on a blue sofa. Her snoot is very long, so she is resting in on the seat of the sofa. She wears a dark grey tee with a medieval tapestry-style floral print.

2) the same Galga sleeps soundly. Note mummy's leopard print pjs and our communal snuggle blanket.

Good morning friends 🙂. We're heading back to Sheffield today. We'll be sad to leave the lanes and excellent hedgerow sniffs, but I'm looking forward to returning to My Routine™️ and my cluttered dark house 🖤. Here's Syd in his croissant 🥐 coat. It's finally tee weather! Thank goodness.

We're going to attempt to flee Sheffield for Annie's Countryside Residence today (we've been thwarted by trains and weather in previous attempts). I've been looking at the weather in Arnside and it's currently 21 degrees and cloudy, with rain forecast next week. YES PLEASE ☔
