Gab and gifts.

I don’t write about being a union steward very often – the person in the workplace who marshals people through difficult discussions, grievances, and disciplinary procedures on a near-daily basis…. It’s part of my commitment to civil society, really. My volunteer effort. My desire… Continue Reading “Gab and gifts.”

All of what is me right now.

I’ve just got to start with family-member bragging time today because my niece turned one on the weekend and took her first three steps.  To me! Which was resulted in one very surprised looking baby and a round of applause from her parents, Brian… Continue Reading “All of what is me right now.”

Love this little scarf/shawlette – made from leftover yarn from the Raincoast Juliana. Started on the 29th of December, finished January 1st to mark the new year (and the fact I am bed-ridden due to a cold and thus had lots of time yesterday).… Continue Reading “First finished item of the new year.”

Likely my final finished object of 2012 – The Raincoast Juliana – which is currently blocking along with Husband Sweater for Christmas morning gift-giving. Love the colours in this one, I hope my mom does too.

The Husband Sweater (unblocked)

I left this one for the end of the week because it represents the most amount of work in one item — and also, because it isn’t quit finished yet. In my haste to get a photo during daylight hours I had to snap… Continue Reading “The Husband Sweater (unblocked)”

Hard to believe that these yarn chains will become a piece of fabric.#weaversofinstagram #textilestudio #handweaving #handmadelife #iweavemyowncloth
Got a big reset on my life this week with a little retreat on Saturna Island. I blogged about it today at red-cedar.ca ... first time in nearly a month since I posted there!
This frieze at the #Saturnaisland Heritage Centre in the old foghorn building at Eastpoint was discovered during renovations a few years ago. Painted by a lightkeeper in an earlier era, it speaks of the need to make marks on long stretches of time spent in bad weather.
New table runner and autumn flowers.

Quite pleased with how this is weaving up, even though I managed to do my tie-up upside down so the right side of the fabric is underneath (see second picture). Just means I have to be extra careful as I go, and check the underside often. So happy to have figured out how to best warp and tie-up this #bergåsavonia loom though. I can see it's going to be in my life for a long time. #weavingloom #weaverfever #weaversofinstagram #textilestudio
Freshly warped loom! This is only the second time I have warped my Berga Savonia #countermarchloom . The first time, I discovered that the treadle tie-up was a real pain due to loom design so I ordered and installed a 20+ tie-up system a few months ago. This is the first chance to try it out and it really works to make the tie-up so much easier on the body. No crawling under the loom! No pulling cord through tiny holes everytime the tie-up changes! Now to wind a couple of bobbins and start a new weaving. #weavingloom
Local yarn from Gabriola sheep dyed with fustic and then indigo. Trying to decide how to use this..... #naturaldye #texilestudio #makersgonnamake
Some hand dyed embroidery threads ready for use in winter projects. Fustic, Eastern Brazilwood, Indigo, and Dhalia.
Home office before and after. New furniture, moved my big shelving unit to make space for a design wall, everything cleaned and reorganized!
Lots of canning this week! $100 worth of produce nets us 12 quarts of tomato sauce, 9 pints of roasted tomato salsa, 12 pints of diced roasted tomatoes and 12 jars of nectarine jam to bring back to the coast tomorrow. That's a haul that makes me happy. #foodsecurity #keremeos #sandersonsfruitstand #summerofmaking2021 #canningseason
Knitting with hand dyed yarns at the golden hour. It always takes me a few days to settle in at the cabin, but once it happens I don't want to leave. Enjoying these last summery days up here watching the first cottonwood leaves turn yellow. #summerofmaking2021 #naturaldye #whyprinceton #knittersofinstagram #knitallthethings #knitstagram
