After a period of particularly hard work, it’s important for me to step back and acknowledge that in just three years, we have done a hell of a lot of work to our home and garden. Here are some before and after pictures of… Continue Reading “THe Urban Crow: Before and After”

We’re not quite finished with the living/dining room yet as we are awaiting some artwork, and need to tidy up some (not to mention hang the second curtain) but I snapped a quick shot today so you can see what our new living room… Continue Reading “Sneak peek: Living Room”

Front Hall Mod

Posted on November 19, 2010 by

Our front hallway has been driving me a bit crazy since we moved in. For whatever reason, the previous owners of this house painted the tiny entrance way a deep coal-blue which just made it look impossibly small. On top of that, we never… Continue Reading “Front Hall Mod”

Birdsong workshop on Instagram
New table runner and autumn flowers.
Fall altar. #zenbuddhism #zendo #practiceperiod
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
There are many quilts at our cabin, most of them made by a co-owner's mum (we own and share this place with a couple of folks). I love them hung as privacy dividers in our loft. #quiltinglove #quiltsofinstagram #quilting
Making nectarine-ginger jam while chilling in the interior. It's still summer here! #summerofmaking2021
Greens, gray, and a spot of purple. These will become my first project with hand dyed yarns.... some kind of cowl or scarf!
