In the reveal I did for August’s Club, I talked a little about my excitement at waiting to see what our garden held with each passing season. So when summer was finally in full bloom in our backyard that first year, I was delighted to discover we had a beautiful bunch of Crocosmia growing in…

August Club Reveal – Magnolia
Oh my… I’m a little behind schedule! I do apologize for this. Long story short, I got really sick at the end of August and then got busy with preparations for Knit City and am finally… albeit slowly… getting caught up on all the things that got dropped. So without further ado, here’s the post…
July Fibre Club Reveal – Pesuta
Growing up, one of my favourite places to visit was the Queen Charlotte Islands or as it is now called, Haida Gwaii. My mom was born on the island and grew up there. It was place we would visit to see our extended family and to enjoy the quiet beauty of the landscape. As a…
June 2017 Club Reveal – Stained Glass
Last summer, we took our girls on a road trip through southern BC and into Alberta before coming home. One of the places we visited was Drumheller and we stopped at The Little Church. It was a place I’d visited as a child and I was so excited to take my girls there to see…
May 2017 Fibre Club Reveal – Quiet Solitude
Many years ago, Eric and I went on what we lovingly refer to as our “quasi honeymoon.” It was about 6 month after we got married and we went to England and France. Since we also tied the trip in with visiting an old friend of mine and my sister, we couldn’t really consider it…
April Club Reveal – At First Light
Shortly after I finished photography school in 1996, I traveled up to the Queen Charlotte Islands to attend my uncle’s wedding. Since I was “free” of responsibilities, I decided to extend my trip and have a longer visit with my grandparents and extended family. One evening, I was asking my grandpa about sunrise and where…
March Fibre Club Reveal – Brunswick Sky
March has been a crazy busy month. Fibres West ran on the 17th/18th and the weeks (honestly, months!) leading up to it were packed with dyeing and carding. There were times where I questioned my sanity of running a fibre club in amongst this chaos! However, I was having so much fun, that it was…
Feb 2017 Fibre Club – Lava Love
When Rachel and I first chatted about me taking over carded club from her, I was a mix of nervous and excited. I find that people so often have a preference for colours and creating something each month for someone, with no real idea of what they love, was a little nerve racking. However, I…
Knit City 2016 Recap
Whew. What a crazy, nerve racking, exciting, and wonderful weekend we had! Knit City was this past weekend in Vancouver and I’m so pleased that we were able to attend for the very first time as a vendor… albeit on a small scale. I’m so grateful to my good friend, Keryn, from Farm Fairy Fibre…
Plying on a Spindle
At the end of last year, my lovely friend Keryn invited me to dye with her one morning. I have a lot of undyed fibre and I thought it would be fun to try my hand at it. Honestly, I can’t wait to do some more… just need to find the time! I am super…
