New York City – Day One

Posted on October 6, 2011 by

So I’ve got to admit – this whole family holiday thing is a new, strange deal for me. Not that this trip to NYC is the first one or anything, but it is certainly the most destination-y one so far. You see, prior to… Continue Reading “New York City – Day One”

Today is a day for arranging and rearranging as I sort through my complicated schedule and try to fit some of the dropped pieces back into the whole puzzle before they get lost. But also checking in about some travel anxiety and working on… Continue Reading “Finding a peaceful spring break.”

Back in town, waiting for spring.

I inadvertently took a break from post-a-day this weekend as I didn’t get enough downtime in Victoria to really focus on anything. Blogging a couple of hours in a day where I’m not interacting with anyone. Not because it that long to write a… Continue Reading “Back in town, waiting for spring.”

Hopped up and ready to go.

I am feeling ridiculously hopped up at the moment, which I suspect is the result of the steroids prescribed to me by the dentist to help keep my mouth swelling down. Which is kind of nice – because I feel so eager to get… Continue Reading “Hopped up and ready to go.”

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.
