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:

what I love Weaving on lots of types of looms
what I love Spinning various weight yarns
what I love The Art of Scouring fleece
what I love Nuno felting with fine & raw wool
what I love Dyeing wool, roving and yarn
what I love Knitting and crocheting
what I love … And, whatever interests me today!

  • Done. Now to bring it over to Harper's room. I can see her sitting here getting dressed and doing homework for many years.
  • Painting with pink on a piece of furniture just spilled into my weaving. 🩷
  • Adding contact paper to the vanity drawers, sparked memories of lining cabinets of new homes with my Mom, Grandma, and sister. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
  • Pink and White Gloss Spray Paint definitely says "little girl's room" 🎀
  • Scouring the fleece I bought at Rhinebeck. Just love the before and after shots! Now... what will this become?
  • Found this on FB Marketplace. Harper has so many hair accessories, she needed drawers in her room. Time to make this look "girlie" <3
  • Hope you can attend TODAY!
  • Received this awesome gift from the Artist! 
Thank you @leslieinthemoment ❤️ I love it.
