Do you "like" me?

In case you were unaware, my work is featured on a Facebook group page.  You can access the page here and like it.  Then you will be kept up to date on new products (yes, I update Facebook faster than the blog), sales, promotions and other stuff I feel like sharing on a more frequent basis.

For those who are new to this blog, I'm now selling my work on Etsy and you can visit my shop by clicking here.  I'm working away at more new products to add.  Keep checking back.

It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood.  My family and I are getting ready to head out on a camping trip for a few days - I love organized procrastination from studio time.   I'm sure I'll see many treasures along the way that inspire more work.  Much like these Mermaid's Tail scarves were inspired by our trip to the Fundy Bay last summer (and currently available for sale in my Etsy shop).  Enjoy!

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

I have finally - yes, finally - completed a project that I put on the loom oh so long ago.  The rainbow warp has been woven, sewn, fringed and washed.  It is now many different items.  All different from what I had thought they would be originally - I love being surprised by fabric off the loom!

So without further ado...

This feels like it's the beginning of something great.  A bit like Christmas!  There is a small piece of the cotton and wool fabric that was too long for a bag, so I'm thinking it will become two large pillows.  It's lovely too.  After a wash and dry in the machines (thank god for them) the fabric is very soft and cushy.  Perfect for pillows!!

The next warp going on is the Zebra Wood warp.  Click for a reminder ;)  It's all gorgeous too!  

Here's another runner that I made a while back and thought I'd post now.  It was the remnants of a commission warp - love having extra!

As always, if you see it and like it, contact me about buying it!  'Tis the season to be thinking about gift givin'.

Oh the scarves!

I'm really here. Really!

I've been so busy prepping inventory for holiday craft sales that I've been negligent on updates to the blog. My apology comes in the form of photos of my latest work. This is only a sample - there is lots more. I'll post more photos soon.

The wool I use is from Briggs & Little. Their woolen mill is only 10 minutes from my house! What a great opportunity for a weaver :)

Enjoy!
