This morning I woke up and was actually greeted by a bit of sunlight! The high today will be above zero and contrary to popular belief, both the groundhog and I think that spring is on its way. 

I am still going through my first full year and rotation as an artist, I feel like I only really...

 I am a member of the Fibre Arts Network which is a group of fiber artists here in Fredericton. We meet once a month to share ideas, organize gallery shows, and attend craft sales as a group. I have found (especially after finishing school) that it is so important to spend time with like minded peop...

Good times at the Good Fibrations Fibre shop/studio in Saint John this past Saturday. What an inspiring place full of beautiful hand dyed wools, yarns and looms galore! ( If you have never been I would absolutely suggest you go for a visit!) I am so grateful for the growing fibre community here in N...

The Maritime Spinners Retreat is a magical weekend where fibre artists and yarn spinners gather to learn, relax, share and spin. Each year the retreat bounces back and forth between the 3 maritime provinces and take place mid-October. This year the retreat was held in Prince Edward Island, it is the...

During the last week and a half I have been in all three of the Maritime Provinces either teaching or selling and it has been a whirlwind! It all started last Thursday at the Nova Scotia Fibre Arts Festival where I was teaching 3 workshops back to back; Funky Felted Flower Brooches, Fabulous Felted...

The L.P Fisher Library in Woodstock invited me to come and teach a Woven Wallhanging Workshop for their fibre arts group this past weekend. We did it as a "stash busting edition" were participants all brought bits and bobs from their yarn stash and we combined textures and techniques for a afternoon...

AHHH! We made it!

After about 11hours straight of driving my husband and I pulled into our destination,  a small dock at the end of a gravel road. John McConnell and Linda Watsons came to greet us, they helped us haul what we needed for the night into a boat. In the dark with flashlights we putted ac...

Felted Fingerless Gloves, Drop Spindling workshops and preparing for the TWIST Fibre Arts Festival. I am constantly in a sea of spinning fluff and soapy bubble wrap. 

Here are some photos of the most recent two workshops (they are by no means awesome photographs just some snippets from...

This week I took part in an Artist Residency put on by the Fredericton Arts Alliance, my daily routine changed up a bit as I spent the week working in Fredericton's old Soldiers' Barracks instead of in my studio partnered with Bess Forrestal an oil painter.  Many people came...
