Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Work I progress - you can already see how a change in yarn choice for the sky is affecting the piece. #weaving #tapestry #fibreart #ontheloom

I think I'm at a point where I'm finally satisfied with this tapestry I've been working on since September. It was picked apart and re-woven so many times I felt like I was Penelope waiting for Odysseus to come home. It's wonky, but done. #tapestryWeaving #weaving #fibreArt

Newly finished scrappy mug rugs for Canada Day. I had to stitch on an appliqué maple leaf to make the flag. Honestly, I prefer the red and white ones. #weaving #upcycledtextiles

Grid of six separate images of red and white woven rag rugs style mug rugs with a brown and cream mug on top.

I'm still pretty green, too. The trickiest part for me is maintaining my tension, but practice makes better, so once you find your rhythm it gets easier. Have fun!

New band design on the inkle loom. This one is for Canada Day. I love the possibilities of plain weave. #inkleloom #bandweaving #weaving #fibrearts

Getting back to work on this band I'm weaving to turn into a lanyard for my youngest when he returns to uni in September. I love his school colours. #weaving #bandWeaving #inkleWeaving #beingAMum

I finally got around to weaving in the ends of this manic hanging that I made a few years ago. As the world gets more and more mad, I can foresee myself returning to making more frenetic works like this. Ugh. #weaving #wovenWallHanging #handwoven #FinallyDone

A fringed woven wall hanging in blues and reds.

I was at a small Pride Party market on Sunday and rather than pack my pocket sized loom, I brought my inkle. It was awkward to pack, but once I pulled out one of my bins, not as awkward to use. W00t. #weaving #weavingonthego #inkleweaving

An inkle loom warped with red thread sitting atop a plastic bin, tucked behind a table.

Show me the part of your craft you always put off as long as possible. For me, it's weaving in ends on a woven tapestry. Ugh. #fibrearts #fiberarts #showme #weaving #weavinginends

The back side of an unfinished woven tapestry with many loose threads needing to be woven in or cleaned up.

Since then, they've become a staple at my markets. I always say my last small batch will be my last (I've almost used up my supply of mismatched socks), but I get so much joy out of making them that I keep making more. 2/🧵

A while back, when everyone was stuck at home (you know when), I started making these little sock dolls. I call them Study Buddies, initially created to keep kiddos company when they were home schooling, but lots of friends wanted them to keep them company at work. 1/🧵 #sewing #handmade #sockdoll

Four squares with images of sock dolls with button eyes in each.

I've just finished a new group of Travel Buddies (clip on personal support critters) in prep for my first market of the season on Saturday in Kemptville, ON. So cute. #sewing #sockdolls #handmade #shoplocal #supportMakers

And just like that (well, after some sewing and finishing) my recent band weaving projects are now wristlet key fobs. Ta da. #bandweaving #weaving #fibrearts

An upright wooden hand with 3 woven strap key fobs across the palm with about a dozen more fobs laying at its base.

I'm gobsmacked. This little gem was spotted in the photo I posted of all of my mini tapestries last week and soon it will be off to its new home on the other side of the province! Thank you so much! #thankful #supportMakers #shopHandmade #miniTapestry #fibrearts

After a couple of months obsessively weaving mini tapestries on my palm sized loom, I'm returning one of my larger looms. Yay. #tapestryweaving #handwoven #handmade #weaving #fibrearts

My son found the knitted case I made for his iPod eons ago. It's based on a Rebecca Danger design, but is now as obsolete as the iPod itself. #throwback #knitting #ipod

Flat pill shaped knitted iPod case. It is a green monster with a wide mouth opening and small floppy ears. Wears a pink striped sweater.

I came home from grocery shopping with the intention of finishing and filing my taxes, but the inkle loom was sad and needed to be warped. I swear, I'll get to the taxes soon. #procrafteration #bandweaving #weaving #inkleloom #fibrearts

And here I was thinking that I haven't been that productive in the last 4 months. Sometimes you need to look at the big picture in order to recognize your accomplishments. The small things (literally) do add up. Well done, me. #weaving #paintingwithyarn #minitapestry #fibreart #lovetoweave

I just un-mounted this old tapestry from my early days of weaving to remake (or at least reuse the yarns) so I thought I'd post it for posterity before it disappears forever. #tapestry #weaving #reusingmaterials #saygoodbye #fibrearts
