Bike stealer! I'm gonna get you with my shovel!

When Brian told me this morning upon looking outside that our back gate was wide open, I knew that couldn’t be a good thing because it meant someone was in our yard in the night. But when he came back upstairs to report that… Continue Reading “Bike stealer! I'm gonna get you with my shovel!”

On Monday I took the day off work to catch up on some alone time and relax off some insomnia I’d been having… making this short week even shorter, and giving me some much needed blogging and reading time. I managed to get my… Continue Reading “Updating my life.”

Bad feelings.

Last night I reached a breaking point. You know, the kind that leaves you paralyzed, teary and raging angry all at the same time? Yeah, one of those. Problem being, I let things build up and build up, pretending everything is fine…. and when… Continue Reading “Bad feelings.”

Lazy writing.

I started this blog almost four years ago as a way to regularize and improve my writing practice. You know: just me and my personal thoughts (and the rest of the world reading them). And why? Because I largely need an audience to motivate… Continue Reading “Lazy writing.”

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.
