Hey People!

I am seriously still here – but silent this week due to an in-law visit, a medical appointment, a blood donation, a workplace-violence incident, school, a bunch of work meetings, and the fact that I’m heading out of town for the long weekend. Also, research on possible land to buy for rec uses.

In short, my brain has been packed full of other stuff than writing here, or even responding to email.

Maybe that will get better soon and I’ll find some time to tell stories about the above. Or maybe I’ll just start responding to the emails piling up in my inbox. Either way, some of you will hear from me soon. As soon as I am able to wiggle enough thinking space for new output.

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.
This is what I've been spinning lately, a super soft blend of wool and silk from @smallbirdworkshop. I'm getting close to finishing my second bobbin and plan to ply them into a chunky yarn for hat knits.
I haven't been posting for the last few days because I am burnt out from a whole lot of really intense stuff that's going on behind the scenes.
This beautiful tiny carving was gifted to me last night by a stone carver I know. Some time back, we gave her some Arbutus (Madrona) wood from our property, and this was her test piece. Apparently, carving Arbutus is a lot like carving stone since it's so hard.
Now this is a colourway! I plan to dye some spinning fibre in these colours when I get a chance.
Munro's books is my kryptonite.
