I managed a bit of a wander in the balcony garden today on video. It’s just starting to turn golden with autumn colours out there. And is still providing fruit and veg. #balconygarden #Balkongarten #patreon www.patreon.com/learnedwords...

The Japanese maples are starting to turn golden for autumn in the balcony garden.

A small drawing of a radio and a packet of Nurofen tablets decorate the page, which has a blue background.

I had enough energy this week to snap and thwack the Advent yarns I spun and plied during TourDeFleece. They now need to dry before moving back to WIP status in a woven scarf. Looking forward to writing the roundup post after they've all dried! #tourdefleece #handspinning #FiberArts #Patreon

Handspun yarns in thin 2m loose skeins before their soak, snap and thwack, arranged on a table in a rainbow from reds through to greens.

It’s been a topsy turvy month, but I finished some things-wove a dreamy scarf, spun into Tour de Fleece overtime, knitted socks, and hand sewed all the pebbles for a flower garden quilt full of Japanese fabrics. It's #FinishOrFrogAlong this month, so I need to work out my WIP tasks-probably socks.

A tumble of "pebbles" in a plastic tub - circles of all different Japanese fabric, different sizes, hand sewn to worn out work shirts, and ready to be sewn onto a patchwork quilt.

A hand holds a large wooden bobbin of handspun 2 ply yarn in various dark pinks and purples, flecked with white. The sun is bright on the balcony garden that is blurred in the background.

Two half-used and re-rolled up balls of yarn from a frogged sock project, and the start of a new sock project resting on its new ball of grey yarn rest on a crowded table next to a sofa.

A delicate and fluffy cream cashmere and mohair scarf and sample section have just been cut off the little loom and are draped over the table loom, the fringe hanging free. There are many ends from the Leno and Spanish lace sections yet to be sewn in.

Tour de Femmes is now also finished with plenty more plying and spinning. The end #TourDeFleece roundup is on Patreon, and I'm spinning into overtime. Letting the singles bobbins rest, then plying and wet finishing them. Then I can start weaving - lots of plans! www.patreon.com/collection/2...

A number of wooden spinning wheel bobbins with various colours of yarns rest on a bamboo cutting board - labels with a little bit of the fiber fluff folded inside are scattered over their respective bobbins.

Loose skeins of 2-plied handspun yarns in various blues, greens and purples are squished onto an Ikea chair, held in place with cotton stay ties. They have not yet been wet-finished, but look lovely and soft.

#TourDeFleece is over - I filled all my small bobbins. I'll ply during the Femmes, but won't know yardage until after that. This was about 850g - 100g sock wool, 50g each for the colourful samplers - plus 200g plied of an earlier spin. #spinning #handspun #fiberarts #tourdefleece2026

15 small wooden spinning wheel bobbins filled with teals, purples, and a couple of red/orange singles yarn rest with tufts of their fiber inside their labels on a foot stool. Three larger bobbins in the bottom right have a plied green yarn, and the jumbo sized bobbin holds a green sock wool single (merino/nylon).

All apart from the jumbo sock wool are from combed tops, blends from Golden Fleece Studio on Etsy - various mixtures of merino, silk, bamboo and tencel.

The cream footstool cushion cover has a pattern of small, dark blue cat head outlines filled with various patterns, a cute quilting cotton from Japan.

New up in my ko-fi shop (raising funds for more physio) the framed teddy bears picnic cross stitch I completed in 2008, and another crocheted market bag. And progress on the double rainbow remnant scarf - it's looking fabulous! #ko-fi #handmade #FiberArts #Weaving #Crochet #Xstitch #ForSale

A framed cross stitch of a teddy bear family with bears of all sizes, shapes and colours is framed in a navy and gold wooden frame, double-matted with blues echoed in the stitches.

A crochet market bag in blue thick yarn is hung over a purple dressmaker's form, messenger bag style.

April's garden update now up for patrons, where I chat about this weekend's plans, and wonder how others deal with plant deaths - do you shrug and move on? Replace it immediately? Or take some time? #LearnedWordsPatreon #BalconyGarden #UrbanGardening

The Japanese mugword and chives are growing strongly near the tall nashi pear on the cat-net-lined balcony in the full sun.

The sansho pepper has had a big hair cut, but I think it likes it with all its new little leaflets. Its pot is still covered in its winter straw and sitting against the white balcony wall, lined with cat net.

It's definitely spring out there on the balcony. The cats and I are enjoying the sakura and cherry blossoms 🌸 #BloomScrolling #BalconyGarden #Cats #sakura #SpringBlossoms

A ginger and black long-haired tabby cat sits in a garden pot under a wild cherry covered in small white blossoms. The petals are just about the fall, dotting her black tail as she peers out at a nearby bird.

The zig-zag sakura is in full bloom with delicate white hanging blossoms on lichen-covered branches, looking across the rooftops towards the distant golden sunset.

The Yoshino sakura is blanketed in large opened white blossoms, with barely the branch to be seen underneath it. Very cheering.

The Aprikyria, a apricot crossed with a cherry, sports sparse white frilly blooms against an evening blue sky with wispy long clouds in the bottom right corner.

That thing where life kinda overwhelms and you disappear from socials. That. Still writing regularly for patrons and clients, still doing lots of crafting, still watching winter tiptoe into the garden, still keeping on. Just quietly exhausted. #spoonies #patreoncreator #fiberarts #balconygarden

A sunrise tinges the Leipzig city eastern horizon a reddish orange beyond the converted factory seen from a cat-net-lined balcony garden.

A colourwork knitted sock in a muted pink and purple is in progress being supervised by a long-haired ginger cat. It's obviously cold - the knitter is under a pile of blankets on the sofa, much to the cat's approval.

Many skeins of finished purple-heathered handspun merino yarn hang from a media stand in front of an Ashford traveller spinning wheel, a warping frame on the wall and a set of drawers supporting a pile of empty bobbins and the next spin in progress.

A collection of Weck and other bottles are full of a brilliant red liquid in the morning sun - cooling shiso cordial. There were obviously not enough bottles, as a tall measuring jug has a cotton pudding cap to keep any bugs out.

Flowers, fruit and veg from the balcony garden, the loom awaiting a rethread, and one of my favourite obi above the TV. Crispy summer garden update over on Patreon, crafting update later this month, along with the newsletter for free members. I’ll be taking a break in August to rest in the heat 😊🌻

A round, pale blue vase of flowers sits on a half wall between kitchen and hall. The flowers are from the garden - hydrangeas, alstroemerias, echinacea, and a wild gladioli - all in shades of pink and white.

A dark purple, metallic, floral obi is draped over a wooden rod above a TV. The golden threads shine in the light coming from the side window.

A table loom is in the process of being dressed, with grey-brown and dusky pink threads hanging through the white texsolv heddles. A mistake was made right at the beginning though, and the loom is in the naughty corner until it can be fully re-threaded.

Finally laced my grandparents’ tapestry saved from a mound of rusting staples. Please don’t trim needlework canvas when framing - it makes cleaning and reframing nigh impossible. #fiberarts #tapestry

The front is mostly square - the bottom left corner of the tapestry was the hardest spit with the least amount of fabric to lace into. The tapestry is of an English country scene in spring or summer near a lake/river with a bridge, trees, a person and a horse.

Positioning lacing underneath, and tightening lacing with a fine cotton crochet thread on top. Tapestries are rarely square and the corner opposite needed an extra diagonal pull. You can see how little of the canvas was left after the previous framer had trimmed it to the staple line.

Positioning lacing with sewing thread and fine cord, centering the tapestry motif with the frame. The trimmed canvas was previously reinforced with cotton tape so the lacing could have something to hold onto that wouldn’t fray.

Three small skeins of colourful handspun 2ply wool sit in a narrow sliver of sun on a kitchen bench. Photos can’t bring out the sparkle of the larger blue and grey skein that is flecked with reds and yellows.
