GIVING BACK If you had told me in 2016, when we bought our Strauch carder that I would be making a living by dyeing yarn and fibre or teaching people how to spin; I probably would have laughed at you. In the last three and a half years, we have grown so much. We have…

June 2019 Club Reveal – Rainbows
This is definitely a very bittersweet post to be writing. When I started club in February of 2017, I thought it would just keep going forever. I was constantly taking photographs that would serve as future inspiration and I loved creating something special each month. However, there comes a time when we need to examine…
May 2019 Club Reveal – Le Gouffre
Many years ago… Eric and I traveled to France on what we call our Quasi-Honeymoon. My sister was living in Paris at the time, so we went to visit her and her husband, along with exploring the various sites and taking a few days in England to visit one of my friends. Not particularly romantic…
April 2019 Club Reveal – Sunflower
Oh, Sunflowers. You remain one of my all time favourite flowers. I love the subtlety of your colours and how yellow fades to orange and then to pink. This is what I hoped to capture this month for club. The simple play between colours. This photo was one I took many, many years ago when…
March 2019 Club Reveal – Solitude
I can’t believe we’re at the end of March already! How is that even possible? I keep thinking/hoping things are going to slow down enough that I can spin club alongside Rachel, but at the moment, I’m behind by two months already… February and March are still sitting in my “to spin” pile. I have…

February 2019 Club Reveal – Calm
I can’t believe we’ve reached the end of the month already. Really, where has February gone? For me, it’s been a blur of working on a number of different projects, in between getting ready for Fibres West, which is happening March 22 & 23 in Cloverdale. Will I see you there? I hope so! Without…
January 2019 Club Reveal – Reflection
It’s been almost two years since I started doing a monthly carded club. I am so grateful for the support and love you have all shown me. Thank you for taking a chance and trying new things. 2019 is shaping up to be a busy year and I have so many fun surprises in store…
December 2018 Club Reveal – New Beginnings
Yikes… spinning and posting of club has become a little bit of a challenge for me as of late. There’s been so much happening and I do honestly feel like I’m constantly running from behind. I’m thrilled that for 2019, some of the club spinning will be done by Rachel of Wool N Spinning My…
