  • Now that Tito and I are less than a month from the wedding, we were seriously hedging about whether or not to do another Etsy update beforehand, or wait until we get back. We compromised ;) We’re going to do a small Etsy update (60 skeins) so that we’re able to manage dyeing/fulfillment before things…

  • Everyday Inspiration – the Carnival Atmosphere

    As you’ve probably gathered, Tito and I are photographers :) We travel, both within Ontario and around the world (often on shoestring budgets, it can be done!) documenting and being inspired. In my day job I work in a design firm, and my other hobbies include pottery, jewelry and painting. Tito is also a painter, and…

  • Hand Painted Series – North Ontario

    Our home is filling up with yarn for Friday’s Etsy update =D Here is a sneak peek of a few more of the colours I’ve prepared! This time I wanted to do a few shots that were all centred around a roadtrip that Tito and I took through North Ontario a few years ago. We…

  • Starting from photos – inspiration for new yarns

    Thank you everyone for the positive response to my ‘yarn based on photos’ project. I am happy to announce that I may have found a good yarn supplier, and if I like the base then I’ll be aiming to have some short runs for sale soon! In the meantime, I’ve selected some photos for my…

  • Furbaby Love

    Whenever we show in Niagara-on-the-lake we get to stay at our friend Kim’s place, aka the Gryphon Ridge Highland Cattle Farm. It’s always a treat for us city mice, and I sleep far better at Kim’s then I do at home. The crickets at night and the rooster in the morning sure beat the sound…

  • Alpacas at Eighth and Mud

    On Saturday, after the farmers market, Tito and I decided to pay a visit to Alpacas From Eighth and Mud, a farm that I’d learned about during the Frogpond Farm art show. We got to visit with John and Sharon (the owners), meet the herd, view their fibre mill and learn about their processes, and finally,…

  • Awesome and Creepy

    On the way back from Georgia last week we passed by this abandoned park, just off the 1-75 in Tennessee. I didn’t have anything but my phone camera handy, but you know I had to stop and check it out! There are 2 rusting ferris wheels, a huge model rocket, a clown sign, something called…

  • The Blood Moon & Mooning Cats

    On Saturday night I caught this beauty rising over the lake – a perfectly timed blood moon is such a lucky shot! Sunday I caught this lovely angle. Sadly, not such a rare occurrence around here. Sunday was also the day that I finished our latest batch of sterling silver, bought the table, chairs and tent for…
