  • Roadtrip India in a 100 year old vintage car was incredible! Not what I had envisioned. It was WAYYYY better!

I wish I had a teleporting wand to beam me back there; but alas, weaving my stories into my handwoven blankets is the next best thing! 

Btw.. let me know what you think the colour is. I’m totally stuck on this one! 

Even if you’re joining here for some pro-tips, you may just see some of the crazy things I do around the world along the way!

  • I always let colour lead! 

I weave my stories into my handwoven blankets, letting my memory of colour lead the way!

In my weaving, colour is my travel journal.  

My on-the-road written journal from our travels driving our vintage car Penny, through India, Bhutan and Myanmar; with my Studio Journal ONE from this series; focussing on my journal for my current series of blankets - available now. 

It’s available by popping to my profile link.

  • I’m a weaver. What are these for? 

Discovering these in my cupboard and using them for this was a game changer for my warping! They make it so easy so I don’t have to fuss with tying knots. I just slip them on! 

Here I use something similar to the item I used ice-climbing a volcano in Chile: but not as heavy duty! 

Often in my weaving I use items which suit just perfectly the purpose I need them for; but weren’t originally intended for that specific use. 

Love it when I do that! 

Hope this pro-tip helps all you innovative weavers! Know a weaver who struggles warping on their own? They may hug you for this one! Send it their way.

  • Do what you love…

12 seconds here of focus and rhythm, where you can just watch and breathe; watch me doing what I love. 

Focus and rhythm. Repetition and movement. Calming the chaos. 

I’m craving quiet and connection. The ritual of weaving in my studio is healing for me. It is necessary. I love weaving. 

The bonus of my choice to find expression and connection and to share my stories through my hands is that wonderful blankets are woven. They are not the original goal. 

What are the rituals that you love that you choose to do? DM if you choose not to share publicly and I will reply personally. (no bots!) 

Love you to share with a friend if you think they may love my account that values authentic soulful creativity and may encourage them to be creative and do what they love as well!

  • Here I’m offering 10 seconds of calm.

It seems like everything’s going crazy right now. Anxiety. Illness. Grief. Uncertainty.  

I’m craving quiet and connection. I can’t do things quickly any more. I choose to spend hours in my studio. The ritual of weaving and spinning. This helps me.  

It is not just about the finished pieces. It’s about connection and expression. 

I’m developing a deeper sense of gratitude using my experiences as a foundation for my handwoven blankets.  It’s healing.

If your feed has been feeling too loud and chaotic today, I hope this brings you a few moments of calm.

Do you seek out slow rituals in your daily life? Love for you to share. Comment to share with others or DM and I will reply to you personally. No automated bots!

There’s more calm and connection on my grid too!

Have a bestie who is a creative as well? They may also love to see how colour takes the lead— send it their way! #Weaving #artisanmade #weaver #protip

The colours of where?  In my weaving, colour is my travel journal.  My on-the-road written journal from our travels driving our vintage car Penny, through India, Bhutan and Myanmar; with my Studio Journal ONE from this series; focussing on my journal for my current series of blankets - available now. It’s available by popping to my profile link. Know a creative colour-lover? They may love to see how colour tells a story! —send it their way. :)” #roadtripping #weaving #artisanmade #traveljournaling #weaver

I’m a weaver. What are these for?  Discovering these in my cupboard and using them for this was a game changer for my warping! They make it so easy so I don’t have to fuss with tying knots. I just slip them on! Here I use something similar to the item I used ice-climbing a volcano in Chile: but not as heavy duty!  Often in my weaving I use items which suit just perfectly the purpose I need them for; but weren’t originally intended for that specific use.  Love it when I do that! Hope this pro-tip helps all you innovative weavers! Know a weaver who struggles warping on their own? They may hug you for this one! Send it their way. #handweaving #fibreartist #madebyhand #warping #inmystudio

Do what you love…

12 seconds here of focus and rhythm, where you can just watch and breathe; watch me doing what I love. 

Focus and rhythm. Repetition and movement. Calming the chaos. 

I’m craving quiet and connection. The ritual of weaving in my studio is healing for me. It is necessary. I love weaving. 

The bonus of my choice to find expression and connection and to share my stories through my hands is that wonderful blankets are woven. They are not the original goal. 

What are the rituals that you love that you choose to do? DM if you choose not to share publicly and I will reply personally. (no bots!) 

Love you to share with a friend if you think they may love my account that values authentic soulful creativity and may encourage them to be creative and do what they love as well!

Here I’m offering 10 seconds of calm.

It seems like everything’s going crazy right now. Anxiety. Illness. Grief. Uncertainty.  

I’m craving quiet and connection. I can’t do things quickly any more. I choose to spend hours in my studio. The ritual of weaving and spinning. This helps me.  

It is not just about the finished pieces. It’s about connection and expression. 

I’m developing a deeper sense of gratitude using my experiences as a foundation for my handwoven blankets.  It’s healing.

If your feed has been feeling too loud and chaotic today, I hope this brings you a few moments of calm.

Do you seek out slow rituals in your daily life? Love for you to share. Comment to share with others or DM and I will reply to you personally. No automated bots!

There’s more calm and connection on my grid too!
