Un-syndicating

I have decided (for the second time in four years) to unsyndicate my blog from Networked Blogs which is what I use to publish my blog posts to my Facebook page. Why is that? Because I’ve noticed that in the last four months of having all my posts sent directly to Facebook, I have a great tendency to self-censor and omit the things that are actually going on for fear of worrying or offending people who might be on my Facebook feed. Many of those people, I’m sure, would forget all about this blog if it didn’t show up in the feed – wouldn’t bother to come here if it required actively subscribing to the blog – and so I am preferring to return to my smaller circle of readers. That is, those of you who visit without prompting, or who are subscribed to receive post notifications by email.

It just feels cozier that way to me – and it’s not even like I’ve got some crazy, private life that needs to be discussed here – but I want to get beyond worrying about people and go back to just talking to the circle who actually cares enough to show up.

So hell-ooooo! to those of you who do. I’m back to writing about my life in a more intimate way.

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.
