Mend By Ruby Grace

I’ve missed you! What a crazy year it’s been. I hope you’ve all been well, and taking good care. The family and I have been keeping ourselves busy at home: +Virtual learning with the Teen & tween.... +Hanging, hiking and on call with Sunshine. She is sassy as ever and turning 3 this year! +We adopted a dog! His name is Harris, he’s the sweetest. +I started a journey to personal wellness! It’s been amazing. I’m feeling strong and happy. Moving my body, doing a lot of self reflection and healing work. You can follow my journey here @rewritingtash Life has been great, and yet I long to get back to creating! Sitting at my desk turning fabric and ideas into dolls. I’ve decided to start back at it, creating for fun, for now. I’ll be posting updates! Not ready to sell again quite yet, but definitely ready to start making. Keep an eye out, I’ve got some fun designs in the works! (I may or may not have collaborated with my very cool kids for some incredible inspiration). Thank you deeply for your continued support and love. Sending all the love to you and your families!

I see you, I hear you, I stand with you. I’m listening, learning and unlearning. Standing in solidarity with the fight against systematic racism. #blackouttuesday Muted & Listening in solidarity June 1-7 Image credit: @gingiber... @ Novato, California See more

Ahem, it’s bittersweet to say but this is the only new doll in my life as of recently. This is Baby, she’s adorable and sweet and took me zero time to make, just a little add to cart from a small shop. I hope you’re all taking good care during these last few months. It’s been quite a roller coaster. My days have been filled with:... Toddler wrangling Household manager & chef Distance learning supervisor Donation mask making Self care coach (me making myself workoutwhich I actually love now). I’d love to hear how your days have been going?! I’m not sure when I’ll be back to doll making but believe me...when I do you’ll be the first to know! Sending you all a ton of love!

Setting up my new workspace has been fun, this girl has been through a few of these, one of my first creations ever. There’s been such an evolution of my craft and yet I’ll never forget my roots. #alwaysaworkinprogress #dollmaker #mendbyrubygracedolls

It’s been a long time since I posted last and I miss you all dearly. I’ve taken such an extended break to spend time with these sweeties. My heart is full and yet I miss my doll making. I’m currently setting up my new space in our new place and I’ll be making some sweeties for the holiday for sure. In the meantime I hope all is well and wish you all the best! #mendbyrubygracedolls #dollmaker #familytime #lifeofadollmaker #mendbyrubygrace #clothdoll #ooak
