Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Thank you.

Progress.

Thank you!

Work I progress - you can already see how a change in yarn choice for the sky is affecting the piece.

I think I'm at a point where I'm finally satisfied with this tapestry I've been working on since September. It was picked apart and re-woven so many times I felt like I was Penelope waiting for Odysseus to come home. It's wonky, but done.

Grid of six separate images of red and white woven rag rugs style mug rugs with a brown and cream mug on top.

Newly finished scrappy mug rugs for Canada Day. I had to stitch on an appliqué maple leaf to make the flag. Honestly, I prefer the red and white ones.

7 woven key fobs in red and white on a wood table.

One band, 7 new key fobs just in time for Canada Day.

I'm still pretty green, too. The trickiest part for me is maintaining my tension, but practice makes better, so once you find your rhythm it gets easier. Have fun!

What do you think you'll make?

New band design on the inkle loom. This one is for Canada Day. I love the possibilities of plain weave.

Gosh, thank you.

A little night weaving finished tonight.

Keeping it simple. Happy Monday.

A red and black striped band with yellow dots woven on a wooden inkle loom.

Getting back to work on this band I'm weaving to turn into a lanyard for my youngest when he returns to uni in September. I love his school colours.

I finished this one last summer, but only got around to photographing it today.

A fringed woven wall hanging in blues and reds.

I finally got around to weaving in the ends of this manic hanging that I made a few years ago. As the world gets more and more mad, I can foresee myself returning to making more frenetic works like this. Ugh.

Scarf photo shoot today. Thank goodness we are finally getting some decent weather! Time to take stock of my supply and update my website.

I hadn't even thought about a bag for mine.

An inkle loom warped with red thread sitting atop a plastic bin, tucked behind a table.

I was at a small Pride Party market on Sunday and rather than pack my pocket sized loom, I brought my inkle. It was awkward to pack, but once I pulled out one of my bins, not as awkward to use. W00t.

Hello gorgeous. New woven table runner using up cycled textiles including cotton, sheets, shirts, and saris.

We finally have a little sunshine here today. Hopefully the gardens will soon be full of colours like the ones I'm using for this table runner.

I love this design. Gorgeous.

The back side of an unfinished woven tapestry with many loose threads needing to be woven in or cleaned up.

Show me the part of your craft you always put off as long as possible. For me, it's weaving in ends on a woven tapestry. Ugh.

Since then, they've become a staple at my markets. I always say my last small batch will be my last (I've almost used up my supply of mismatched socks), but I get so much joy out of making them that I keep making more.

Three squares with images of sock dolls with button eyes in each.

A while back, when everyone was stuck at home (you know when), I started making these little sock dolls. I call them Study Buddies, initially created to keep kiddos company when they were home schooling, but lots of friends wanted them to keep them company at work.

A line of 5 clip-on small sock dolls with button eyes and long ears.

I've just finished a new group of Travel Buddies (clip on personal support critters) in prep for my first market of the season on Saturday in Kemptville, ON. So cute.

An upright wooden hand with 3 woven strap key fobs across the palm with about a dozen more fobs laying at its base.

And just like that (well, after some sewing and finishing) my recent band weaving projects are now wristlet key fobs. Ta da.
