I know I’m always a little late to the party, discovering things long after other people already know about them – but no matter! I want to rave about this new “find” of ours anyway – Victoria Gin – which is the smoothest tasting… Continue Reading “Drink Local: Victoria Gin (and spirits)”

Birdsong workshop on Instagram
Super quick and fun holiday Monday project using studio remnants to make a little envelope bag to carry embroidery or other small hand sewing projects in. I've been looking for something to put that cross stitch patch on for years! #textilestudio #crossstitch #embroidery #sewing
I haven't been making much in the way of textiles lately due to some work-life stuff but I got in the studio this weekend and new ideas are percolating. #textilestudio #sewistsofinstagram #embroidery #letsseehowthisgoes
Pair Number 5 in my #year of socks. DK weight, pattern from @the_woolnest Sock Bible. #knitting #knittersofinstagram #textilestudio
A thing that I finished while watching tv on the couch this week. Pair number 4 of socks (for my sweetie). @biscotteyarns @the_woolnest #knittingallthethings #yearofsocks
One thing about being sick and on the couch is that I had some time to finish hand sewing the binding onto this quilt yesterday. I started this project 4 years ago, and it is finally bed ready! #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersofawesome #quiltinglove #textilestudio #textiledesign
I cleaned and tidied the pantry today, ordered more bulk canning lids for the season and pressure canned some chicken stock and some navy bean soup. Feeling really productive and ready for the real start of canning season in a couple of months! #canningseason #canning #pantrygoals #pantryorganization
What am I going to do with these? So many options! #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersofawesome #textilestudio
Finished hand binding this quilt today and now it's ready for use! #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersofawesome #textilestudio
Fabric for spring dresses to ward off the grey days. Plan to make two of the #rumidress by @christinehaynes with these jersey prints mailed to me by @threadcountfabrics this week. #isewmyownclothes #diywardrobe #sewistsofinstagram #textilestudio #sewcialists
Finally got something back on the loom. Weave structure is plaited twill on 8 shafts and fabric is destined to become towels with several different treadling patterns to keep things interesting. #weavingdesign #textilestudio #weaverfever #weaversofinstagram
Socks #3. Self striping yarn by @urthyarns , toe-up. Afterthought heel. I didn't really love cutting the waste-yarn to put in the heel, way too many things could go wrong there, but I managed to do it twice without any mishap except a dropped stitch. These ones are for me! #yearofsocks #knittingallthethings #sockknitting #knittersofinstagram #textilestudio
A return to knitting in bars! At the Gabriola Open Mic on a Monday night. #knitallthethings #knittersofinstagram #textilestudio #kniteverywhere
