A brand new room

Last night I came home from labour council to discover that in my absence, B. had totally rearranged our “office” to make room for me to have a functional sewing area again. This is something I haven’t had since I lived on the Sunshine… Continue Reading “A brand new room”

Today is DENTAL WORK DAY – all in capitals, because I’m getting two crowns and some gum shaping done this morning and I am not looking forward to it. On the plus side, now that B. and I are on each others insurance I’m… Continue Reading “On my way to suffering”

In this decade…..

A couple of weeks ago, I responded to the twitter hashtag #inthisdecade with the following: “#inthisdecade I will do my master’s degree, plant a community orchard, become a master beekeeper, publish a poem, and record another album.” And it seems I might be well… Continue Reading “In this decade…..”

Tolerance

So where is ideology? When we are dealing with a problem which is undoubtedly real, the ideological designation-perception introduces its invisible mystification. For example, tolerance designates a real problem – when I criticize it, I am, as a rule, asked: “But how can you… Continue Reading “Tolerance”

Not everything is harassment.

(For some reason WordPress Dashboard is showing up really screwy in my Firefox browser, but not in IE – this has been going on for a couple of days and I can not figure out how that could suddenly happen. If anyone out there… Continue Reading “Not everything is harassment.”

What I'm working on this week: twisting a whole lot of fringe on a shawl I took off the loom on the weekend.
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.
