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…
November 2018 Club Reveal – Treasures
There are few things I love more than collecting treasures from the beach. It was something I did as a kid with my mom and my grandparents and it’s something I do with my kids now. I’m always intrigued by the colours and shapes you can find. This particular haul of rocks was a bunch…
October 2018 Club Reveal – Black Eyed Susan
As you’ve probably guessed by now, I gain a lot of my inspiration from the natural world around me. I’ve always dreamed of having a wonderful garden…but truth be told, my backyard is in desperate need of some love. The previous owners were amazing gardeners and I just can’t seem to keep up with what…
September 2018 Club Reveal – Oh Chocolate!
Yikes… October 17th and I’m finally getting around to posting about September Club. I’m so sorry for the delay but with Knit City prep etc for the end of September, I just didn’t have time for much spinning! I took a slight deviation this month when I was looking for photos and chose one that…
August 2018 Club Reveal – Wood Duck
I simply can’t believe it’s September 1st today. In a couple of days, my girls will head back to school and at the end of the month, it’s time for Knit City… and it honestly feels like yesterday that I was just at Knit City…not that a year has passed already! Time just doesn’t seem…
July 2018 Club Reveal – Cornflower
This month, I wanted to play with some softer colours, so I went searching through my photographs and came across this Cornflower and thought it was perfect. The soft greens, blues and purples are some of my favourites and such a great analogous colour scheme. Basic club was Wensleydale and for luxury club, I blended…
June 2018 Club Reveal – Paris at Dawn
Yikes! I’m very sorry that I’m so behind in posting the club reveals and wanted to offer a little insight as to what’s been happening lately. At the end of June, we decided to flip things upside down and move things around in our home. It means that I have a better work space and…
