Home again!

And by home, I mean my web home red-cedar.ca is working, and pointing in the right direction again. For some reason, it took CIRA ten days to process my domain changes – but patience paid off and without too much aggravation my whois entry was quietly changed this morning.

I am just coming off of an amazing weekend of love and connection – the second wedding/commitment party for Brian and I, held at our home in Vancouver. While I want to write more about both weddings, I will for the moment say that each was its own perfect event for its own perfect reason and we are still basking in the glow of it all. Due to some requests, I will be posting the vows that we exchanged Saturday here shortly. Photos will come tomorrow once I have a chance to sort some of that out.

I am also attempting to recover from a very bad bout of bronchitis that started early last week and is still plaguing me as I travel to Victoria for the night. I’m just at the start of five weeks of bargaining ratification meetings and I’m really not feeling all that peppy about it given my rattling cough and sleep disruption of the past ten days.

That’s the brief update, and I am so glad to be fully back online. Surprising how attached I have become to having a blog in a particular place!

What I'm working on this week: twisting a whole lot of fringe on a shawl I took off the loom on the weekend.
The flax is looking spectacular this evening. It has gone from seedling to a definable grass structure. Some of it is nearly 2 feet tall now. Day 54.
This photo doesn't do the fibre justice, but I'm showing off my current spin - a wool/silk blend from @smallbirdworkshop that I'm hoping to ply into a fingering weight yarn. I think I have enough to make a woven shawl, though I'm not sure what material I'll use for the warp just yet.
Brian hung a little hammock swing in my orchard, and this is the view from here.
I had to go to Victoria for some unfun chores the last few days, but while I was there, I got to see some good friends and had dinner with my brother and sister-in-law.
Midtide swim date.
I completed this rug-sized piece of cross stitching 20 years ago but never finished it properly. I had a dream about it last night, which brought me to retrieve it from the trunk it was stored in this morning. Now I'm thinking about a little restoration work and putting a more functional backing on it after all these years.
The #flax project is coming along nicely.... some of it is six inches tall now!
Bought six vintage embroidered pillow cases for $14 today at a farm sale. I love the details on all of them, and look forward to dressing the Birdsong beds with them this summer. #textilestudio #textiledesign #vintagestyle #vintageembroidery #embroidery
First swim of the season, thus beating my spring swim record by one week (and by 20 minutes - the surface temperature was very warm).
We weeded and watered our flax yesterday, and it's looking good!
I finally got the top half of the McClure hutch (given to me by friend @afiah2o) into my studio this afternoon (thanks to some strong helpers!) I would like to hang it eventually, but knowing me I will probably just get used to it being slight off kilter in this way.
