Picking up from yesterday….. When I moved to the Sunshine Coast in 2005, I was battling fierce depression except I didn’t know it at the time. I thought my generally sad mood was just the way I was and could be explained by the… Continue Reading “Once living alone….”

On this and that state of being.

I’m a bit scattered this week, feeling on edge for no particular reason, having a hard time focusing long enough to write something sustained or even reason my way through work-related problems. I’m irrationally annoyed, feeling thwarted in the workplace, and in general like… Continue Reading “On this and that state of being.”

It’s not like that, it’s like this.

This is a hard post to write. This is the post where I write about depression and how it is and how I wish it wasn’t. Wasn’t in my life at all. And how angry I am about it – the way it comes… Continue Reading “It’s not like that, it’s like this.”

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.
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.
