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!

Redecorating the entire living room/dining room is where my creative juices are flowing this week. I love the clean white ceiling again ... only two more ceilings to paint. Will definitely need a massage ( @therapeutictouchnj )

Our five-year-old granddaughter, Harper can make these potholders by herself. Last month I taught her how to sew. She was able to sew these two potholders together. Then I showed her how to make rope for the handle by twisting acrylic yarn together. I’m so proud of her.

Changed the weft color to just green, and now I have St. Patrick's Day dish towels! I am loving these.

Changed the weft color to white so I can fly through the next towel without all the color changes. Now it is looking like St. Patrick's day!
