New project idea off and running! I’m using #fabricscraps from my quilting and rugmaking along with #handmadeglassbeads to create some truly #bohostyle jewelry.

Sometimes I get on a roll.
Texas Wildflowers #frit done four ways. I can safely say I’m enjoying being back working at the torch. It’s been a long while since I did an #implosionpendant.

What comes around goes around. It’s been a good two years since I last lit my #lampworking torch, but it’s calling my name again and I figured a #springflowers #mountain bead was the way to kickstart my beadmaking.

I couldn’t resist doing a little #handknit #swatch on the newest #handspun #artyarn. Now I want go dye up enough to do a #rainbow in the mist sweater to see how it performs over bigger areas. It’s a case of continuous inspiration.

I tested out the new April colorway Rainbows in the Mist and it performs beautifully as a #handspun #artyarn. Misty grey interspersed with #pastelrainbow. I love it! And now I want to knit it, too. #rainbowyarn

I loaded up all the #fibrecraft goodies today and hauled them down to the #fibreshindig in Calgary. It’s such a fabulous show specializing in supplies for ALL the fibre handcrafts and soooo much more!

I’ll be sad to go home to the snow. #PuertoVallarta has the prettiest flowers!

After having so much fun with a new #handdyeing technique in March, I decided to use the same idea for a pretty #rainbow in Easter pastels.

Dyed on 70/30 #merinosilk and available in my shop now!

And now all of the little #crochet projects I’ve had stashed away for years are moving to the front of the line! My creative arc is being forced to sweep wider this year.

This is a first attempt at the #grannymushroom pattern by CrochetRoad.

It’s time to grow!
Living in a climate where the season is so short it’s an absolute necessity to start your #seeds a couple months before you can actually #plant.

Who else is ready for #spring colors?? Everything in my dye pans and on my spinning wheel is getting brighter!

Going on a long road trip means no dyeing and no spinning, but it does encourage other more portable forms of #fibercraft! I haven’t crocheted in ages but #grannysquares are coming back around again so I thought I’d jump in.

Thank you! I love that you used the word “happy”! That is always my goal in the things I make. 😊🩷

I know this feeling well. #cozy

Pretty and #happy #pinklemonade #artyarn fresh off my spinning wheel. A gorgeous floofy thick and thin yarn that holds up as warp for weaving and also performs spectacularly in #handknitting.
