Hello again after a looooooooong break! It has been a while since the last of what I would call my regular posts. There has been a bit of shifting with my time as my business has grown busier (no complaints) and I’ve been trying to catch up. At the end of the day I was feeling exhausted thinking about writing on my blog and at the same time, I got a bit overwhelmed by all of the social media…

If you want to learn how to make a nuno felt scarf, then this is the class for you! This is a class great for beginners. The class is so much fun! Nuno felt is almost like making a collage, with so many possibilities with color, textures, shapes, fabric, etc. Once the basics of this technique are learned, the sky is the limit. I love to teach beginners because they show up to the class ready to…
I’ve been on a felting roll lately (that’s my husband’s words). I was having a bit of a hard time working on the floor, because it kills my back, but I figured that by pausing from time to time to do a few stretches in between, I can still feel pretty good the next day after working on a large piece. One of the benefits of selling wool is that I get to try them all on my own work. In particular,…
I’m so glad that spring is almost here! It has been an unusually rainy season here in Northern California. It has been wet, windy and gray. I can’t wait for the sunshine to warm up my cold head. I went to Dharma the other day to get some dyes that I needed and I also ordered a bunch of fiber stuff to gear up towards my dyeing sessions. I miss my dye pots! As soon as the weather warms up a little…

I’ve been playing with making color palettes from random photographs. This one ended on a colorway that I called Pink Agate: 50/50 Merino Silk Blend Hand Dyed Silk Chiffon They are both listed in my shop now for purchase ; )
Working on a color palette can be difficult for me because I always tend to use every possible color combination on one garment, but I think I finally settled on a few colors and I’m liking it. I also love the drape of the 5mm silk chiffon.
My little studio's garden is looking at its best! The sweet peas, the roses and the lavenders are blooming and even my grapes seem to have grown a little more this year. I'm still hoping that one of these years I will be able to harvest some. #garden #roses #happy😊 #blooming #bloomingflowers
