- I got some super pretty cotton carders from celestial farms (cfmercantile) on etsy. I've been making punis cause that's the only way I can spin cotton, it's so hard! But I'm getting the hang of it. #tahklispindle #handspinningandfiberprep #fiberarts
- Here is the tahkli spindle I've been practicing spinning cotton with and the little bit of fine yarn I made. Natural brown plyed with white. Now I'm waiting for my carders to arrive because it was so easier to spin from the punis that came in the kit I got. #handspinningandfiberprep #fiberarts
- I've gotta put my phone away. I'm so sad right now. I don't usually post like this. Nothing has changed since the black lives matter protests. I was saying all along, if they can kill one person and get away with it, they can kill any one of us. #fuckice #fucktrump #reneegood
- My first practice weaving project is done! Two little washcloths. I did use some handspun. I've been practicing using this tahkli spindle for cotton so I used some of that for the edges and the hemstitching. Now time to warp for some towels! #weaving #rigidheddleweaving #handspunningandfiberprep
- First woven thing! Washcloth I guess? Now I've got to look up how leave some space so I can have a fringe and weave another one on this same warp. #weaving #rigidheddleweaving #fiberarts
- And we're weaving! I measured this yarn at 25 wpi. So I'm using the 12.5 heddle, but its kind of like an open weave, so I don't know what that's about. I haven't quite figured out sett yet, but we'll just go with it. #weaving #rigidheddleweaving #fiberarts #craftsky
- We have warp! Wow, that was hard but I got it done! I just warped it with cheap cotton warp twist yarn I had to practice before I use any of my handspun. I definitely learn by doing, because those instructions are hard to understand, but I kind of get it now. #rigidheddleweaving #fiberarts #weaving
- All set up and ready to go! I got an ashford rigid heddle loom! Ready for my next fiber arts skill. I did some weaving on a floor loom in college and I loved it, so I can't wait to get back into it! #weaving #rigidheddleweaving #fiberarts
- #artadventcalender day 6. I finished up this drawing yesterday and forgot to post it so I'm behind a day again. I might do a little gouache painting from this sketch later. #artsky #pencilsketch #charcoalsketch #sketchbook #drawing #kingfisher #birddrawing

- #artadventcalender day one. "Mountain landscape on a cloudy day" tapestry woven by me from hanspun yarns made by me. #fiberarts #textilearts #handspinningandfiberprep #weaving #landscapetapestry #landscapeart #craftsky #artsky
- Spun and plyed on my support spindle. I still need alot of practice with support spindle, for sone reason I just can't get it down like other spinning methods, but I'm determined to get it! #supportspindle #handspun #handspinningandfiberprep
- The final day of my 7 day sketchbook challenge, some color this time! I love how the leaves are turning such #bright colors! #blueskyartshow #drawing #art #asketchaday #adrawingaday #sketchbook #sketchbookpractice #coloredpencil #fall #fallleaves

- Halloween was a little busy with trick or treating and all so I didn't have time to sketch, so we will pick up with day 3 which is this quick scribble of my son and my nephew playing at the water table. #asketchaday #artsky #drawing #pendrawing #sketchbook #sketchbookpractice
- Yesterday's drawing. I don't know why this image was in my head so I just drew it. And my sons contribution to the sketchbook. #asketchaday #drawing #artsky
- Challenged myself to do a quick sketch everyday for at least a week. This was from yesterday. #adrawingaday #drawing #art #artsky
- Made a linocut print for the first time in 20 years. I gotta get some better knives cause I just have the speedball one and it is not sharp. #linocut #print #printmaker
- I'm also working on spinning this red eri silk embroidery thread. The natural color of this silk is so beautiful! It's just shining in the sun! It's hard to get it as fine as I would like so we'll see how it turns out. It will be 2 ply. #handspun #spinsky #fiberarts #embroidery #craftsky
- Finally finished this embroidery piece and blocked it. Now I need to get a frame. I used dmc and wonderfil 8 weight pearl cotton. #embroiderysky #craftsky #fiberarts #artsky
- So much handspun embroidery thread! I did 2 ounces this time and it made alot more then I thought it would! This is now washed and hanging to dry, then it will be divided up and dyed. #handspunembrioderythread #crewelwool #spinningandfiberprep #tourdefleece2025 #embroiderythread #fiberarts
- I was planning to sew some pants today, but I just handstitched this octopus to this fabric instead. #handstitched #handsewing
- I've been trying to learn support spindle for tour de fleece, but I just can't get it down. I went on a trip last week so I didn't have any time for spinning, but hopefully I'll get some time this week. #tourdefleece2025 #supportspindle #historicalreenactment #historicalcraft #ironagecraft #handspun
