CREATING MY LIFE
One THREAD AT A TIME
Let me INSPIRE YOU!
As a fiber artist, my days are spent immersed in the world of wool creating one thread at a time.
A Fiber Artist’s Journal
My creative ADHD often takes me on exciting journeys down various “rabbit holes” of artistic exploration. (Bet this happens to you too!) This website is my way of documenting all the incredible techniques and information I discover, hoping to make your search for techniques and inspiration a little easier. Plus, it’s a handy reference for me!
Here, you’ll find my insights and tips on:
Weaving on lots of types of looms Spinning various weight yarns The Art of Scouring fleece Nuno felting with fine & raw wool Dyeing wool, roving and yarn Knitting and crocheting … And, whatever interests me today!

This piece of furniture has been in the family for a while. Decided the pickling finish needed an update. Frank added lights for me. All the other furniture in the renovated space is this dark mahogany. So happy with the result.

Plates are up and I found this gorgeous painting by @@anewman1905 She's my cousin and a talented painter. Looks perfect in my dining room surrounded by all our families heritage.

We have several Danish Christmas plates that need to be rehung. Tierney's idea was to tape them on the wall and then Frank could make them exact. This is our final design.

This piece of furniture that was once my aunt’s needs a color change. I’m going to work with gel stains for the first time. This should be close to the end of my renovation project.
