I completely forgot to mention here (though I did post on Facebook) that last Wednesday (that would be January 25th) I became an Aunt for the second time! My niece Grace was born while I was in class that night.  Techically I have nieces… Continue Reading “Welcoming Grace!”

My two-year-old nephew Nicholas playing with the Duplo firestation set that I bought for his birthday. He’s finally old enough for some of the cooler toys! Super-cute 🙂

Goshbless’em my parents have bought me a trailer. A 5th wheel camper-type thing, but intended to be stationary on the back of their property for when B. and I come to visit – like our very own summer cabin in the woods (trailer-park style).… Continue Reading “Trailer life.”

It turns out I am really only three years old inside.

Posted on March 16, 2011 by

How can it be it that no matter how competent, adult, removed from the childhood home, and successful we are in our lives – that family conflict turns us back into an abandoned three-year old? That differential sibling treatment thirty years ago still matters? … Continue Reading “It turns out I am really only three years old inside.”

Birdsong workshop on Instagram
I dyed yarn in many warm shades this summer, and now I've wound it into cakes in preparation for making warp chains and weft bobbins. Fifteen colours, each with their own spot in the sectional warp beam! #texilestudio #naturaldye #weavingdesign #weaverfever #weaversofinstagram
I'm here to share this #knit cowl with you, made from yarn that I dyed with #naturaldye this summer, bit also to let you know ow that a new issue of my newsletter has dropped over at www.comfortfortheapocalypse.com. in this issue I discuss a favourite chair, share a soup recipe, and point out three thing I think are worth reading. Also some weaving! #writersofinstagram #knittersofinstagram #weaversofinstagram #texilestudio #essayist
I did a thing today and sold a piece of weaving for the first time ever. Ten feet of table runner (commissioned by someone I've known since early childhood) is now in its forever home. I've always balked at selling my work but I have to say it feels pretty good! #weavingdesign #weaversofinstagram #weaverfever #textilestudio
Cloth for the table runner coming along nicely. This shadow weave is slow going but I am loving how it is turning out (backside showing here) #weaversofinstagram #weaverfever #textilestudio #cloth
Preparing a new warp for the #glimakrajulia loom. I dread sleying the dark colours at this time of year but hope my new #ottlite daylight lamp will make the job easier. #texilestudio #weaversofinstagram #weaverfever #gabriolaislandmaker
Some nubbley colour to finish off this warp. #weaversofinstagram #weaverfever #texilestudio #gabriolaislandmaker
Today on my blog at red-cedar.ca I write about the things we tolerate instead of fixing them, like this weird lighting arrangement in my studio! Bringing attention to small improvements can have big impacts on the way we work and how much enjoyment we get from our spaces. What are you tolerating instead of fixing? With thanks to @jill.margo for her creative coaching support and helping me bring attention to my seasonal rhythms! #textilestudio #weaversofinstagram #writersofinstagram #gabriolaislandmaker
I don't do much in the way of embroidery (or "fancy work" as it was called in my house growing up), but I am drawn to cool books about hand stitching nonetheless. The book #mysticalstitches by @christijay showed up in the mailbox this week and I am encouraged to break out my good needles again! I love the combination of accessible instructions, intention setting exercises, and the treasury of symbols that can be incorporated into any project. A very thoughtful addition to modern #embroidery! #textilestudio, #handstitching #magick
I tend to do short warps (6 yards or so) because as soon as I start the weaving on a project, I pretty much immediately want to design the next. Halfway through the boucle towels and I am thinking of weaving some towels in these colours. #weavingdesign #textilestudio #weaversofinstagram #weaverfever
When your good friends are also textile workers.... lichen as a hostess gift! This massive single piece of lobaria pulmonaria was wildrafted and given to me by @heather.truestitches on Saturday night. So grateful! #naturaldyeing #lichendye #textilestudio
A new weave on the #bergåsavonia loom. If all goes well this will be a table runner for my dining room. Complex weave so it will take some time to weave off bit I think the effect will be worth it #weavingloom #weavingdesign #textilestudio #weaversofinstagram #weaverfever #imakemyowncloth
The pleasures of plain weave. Boucle weft, plain cotton warp. Knocking off some super absorbent towels for someone's kitchen or bathroom. #weaversofinstagram #weaverfever #iweavemyowncloth #textilestudio #gabriolaislandmaker
