Been recycling and sewing up a storm while the kids are at schoolā¦these babies (and 8 more from this limited edition run!) are live on Etsy! Use code MOUNTAINS through 10/1 for 10% off the entire shop!
Did I plan to rebrand this year? I did not. But to be honest a lot happened this year that I did not plan on. Fireweed is iconic for its beauty and resiliency after a fire, and although my family has been walking through flames, there is beauty and strength and we have walked together through every step. There is an extremely tender, deep part of my heart reserved for the blueberry era of Tuck Wild and all that it entailed. But now it's fireweed. Resilient, beautiful, Alaskan. Thank you for sticking with me through a year of inconsistency and growth. . .I cannot tell you what your support means to me and my family, always but especially right now.
As a celebration of a new step forward, I've FINALLY loaded some things onto the Etsy site! You can use GET5 for $5 off of any order over $25, and as always use LOCALPICKUP for free pickup if you're in Anchorage and would rather utilize that option.
Iām 100% sure Iām supposed to take prettier pictures for āreal postsā but I also think you know by now that I am better at sewing than internetting.
Iām calling these āthe salvage collectionā and will be making lots more! The exterior fabric for these was rescued from a personal collection that had it sitting shelved for years, and I rescued it, hauled it across the continent, and am finally putting it to good use (AKA someone bought it many years ago, used what she needed before giving it to my mom less years ago. She used what she needed and then gave me the rest last time I visited her! Thanks, Mom!!).
in all seriousness, I really love the game of using up what I can without spending money on more. Itās a fun challenge, itās earth-friendly, AND it helps me keep costs down for you guys. I didnāt have to raise prices at all last year despite inflation and am trying desperately to maintain that!
Longest caption ever. šµāš« Enjoy these subpar photos.
Iāve been cooking up a little something over hereā¦these will be available in-person soon (stay tuned!) but let me know if anyone is interested in purchasing via Etsy also??
Current sizes are 0-3 mo, 6-12 mo, and 12-18 mo.
Hi, friends. I hope Thanksgiving was a day where you loved well and were loved in return. Iām SO grateful for all of you making this another successful year for my tiny business. I am just a mom trying to sew things and help support my family between all the tasks I need to do to take care of my sweet boysā¦overwhelmingly humbled that people would spend their hard-earned dollars to support me. I canāt make enough things to stock a website or do extra sales this year (what a beautiful problem to have!)ā¦you can find me at the Wonderfully Made bazaar at Cornerstone Church on Dec 9/10, and at Amanda Rose Warrenās studio for a pop up on Dec 17. I have some new products Iāll show you soon! Until then Iāll be working as furiously as I can to prepare, and trying to squeak in some family time as well. THANK. YOU. for your patience and understanding - Iām so sorry that I canāt manage Black Friday sales or Small Business Saturday sales at this point but I encourage you to get out and support all the small businesses you can! So much love to all of you. ā¤ļøā¤ļø (šø: )

Thereās snow on the mountains, leaves in the yard, and Iām starting to squirrel away products for Christmas markets already. š¤Æ Working through my list of custom orders - if youāre thinking about Christmas gifts already hit me up sooner rather than later to make sure we can get them done!

A Tuck Wild classic: a small zipper pouch! Probably one of the products I've been making the longest, and just can't quit. They're just so handy! And Alaska makes them look goooooood.

These coordinating-but-not-matching f***y packs were made for these darling sisters to wear on a vacation earlier this year. If you are ordering for kids be sure to let me know and I'm happy to shorten the straps to fit them a bit better! Perfect for snacks, hairties, pocket change, chapsticks, all the important things in life!

This half moon pouch just trekked across the state to Chicken, Alaska on a trip to prep a hunting cabin. I love the bright fun colors juxtaposed with the rustic background!!

Next event!!! Iāve never sold Tuck Wild on the peninsula before and am SO excited for this event. Working like a crazy woman these next couple of weeks to bring as much as possible with me!
At the Kincaid stadium today for Mountain Bike for Women! Come see my handsome helper and I from 11-5:30!
My current favorite story: About 40 years ago my parents lived in Kenya. They lived with, served, taught, and loved the people in an extremely remote village called Loglogo. Due to a few unforeseen circumstances they had to leave very abruptly, and it has always left a hole in their hearts. Yesterday they finally got the chance to return to Loglogo. They had no way of contacting anyone there, no way of knowing if any of the people theyād left were still there. Spoiler alert: THEY WERE. In what can only be credited to divine intervention, they were able to reunite with many dear friends they thought theyād never see again. As is customary, my mom and her sweet friend exchanged giftsā¦my kids are OBSESSED with the pictures of Grandmomās new beaded necklace, and now a Tuck Wild pouch has made its home in the depth of Africa. No coffee cards or American dollars are shoved into this one, but it is holding Jās shillings and will be treasured for years as a gift from her long lost friend.
Sharing this story not to try to convince anyone to purchase my wares. Sharing because I believe this is what humanity was created to be: people who love each other deeply and joyfully, despite distance or differences. Go love your people today. ā¤ļø

Well I have fallen off the Tuck Wild in the Wild wagon but we're back!! Our little buddy R uses his small zipper pouch to organize his most important possessions: his trucks and cars. These bags work SO well for Alaskan kids (aka the world's best travelers) to organize their carry-ons! Whether you're carrying vehicles, markers, granola bars, or Legos, our small zipper pouches are great for any age. DM for custom prints today!

I do NOT have a booth at the Vintage Market, but the amazingly talented and sweet does, AND she brought Tuck Wild merch with her!! Stop by her booth for her beautiful baby goods and grab some Tuck Wild while youāre there!
We will be giving away a Tuck Wild f***y pack at the Gold Nugget Tri this Sunday! Come find the Alaska Foot and Ankle Specialists booth to enter to win!
Hi friends! Felt like about that time again - I should introduce myself and show my actual face.
Iām Hannah and Tuck Wild is my fifth baby (and also my least important one - hence the reason Iām not on social media as much as I āshouldā be as a small business owner. Sorry, not sorry.). ā¤ļø
I was asked a few times at one of the last markets if everything at my booth was made in state. Itās a fair question but made me giggle becauseā¦yes. Itās just me, a mom frantically sewing between all the school drop-offs and pick-ups for my boys. š It boggles my mind that I can direct you to brick-and-mortar stores to buy my things, and that I am a person who completes wholesale orders for people. BUT it is because of those dear store owners believing in me, and YOU choosing to spend your money on handmade, that this mom gets to do this. THANK YOU.
Where are all of you located? Are you local to Alaska or scrolling from somewhere else? The internet makes me cringe sometimes but also it is such a great tool to make connections! Iām excited to hear who all is on the other side of these squares!
Iāve been slacking on my posts š„“ But thankfully my husbandās friend has been taking great pictures of him to get me back on track!
I customized this f***y pack fir my husbandā¦instead of regular waist straps we threw straps on the back to thread his avalanche pack strap through. This way he has access to all smaller essentials while heās in the backcountry!
Cast your vote - should we offer these as an option?!
