Well…James came home from hospital, and I found myself writing and creating! I have made some beautiful artist books to house my words….a much longer version of my post below.

‘please stand clear of the closing doors’ artist book
0 Comments:
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Life goes fast; with curveballs; and accompanying that for me has been a reflection of my life and the memory of the lyrics of Pink Floyd’s ‘Time’; a song I grew up with.
I am so grateful to have experienced so much living, and recalling this song recently has reminded me that despite some life challenges; I still must not fritter a single second of my life away.
There has been a time where we haven’t been able to travel and experience the world and myself as I would have liked, but there are other ways that I can ensure I don’t waste my time alive!
I am a creator. A teacher. A storyteller. A traveller. A photographer. A weaver. A knitter. A maker. I need to keep creating. Celebrating my life is still as important now as it was a few years ago!
So, I quietly reflect. With gratitude.
Share this with someone you think may like this quiet reminder.

Who would have thought you needed to be fit as a weaver; as you can see, this specific exercise is imperative for lifting one’s yarn collection. Let all your friends know about this!
What other exercises do you think I should do?
Come follow along for my weaving tips and ideas. I may even make you laugh.

The door has shut; want quiet, no traffic, don’t want to talk to anyone and just stay home and do the things you want to do; like spinning, weaving, knitting, crafting; but feel like you should be getting dressed out of your pj’s, and going out to at least have a coffee???
You could role play like I did. Lol you can save this as a reminder that you don’t have to go out today at all!!! Follow to see my next studio ‘outing’.
One can never be overdressed wherever you are! Pop on your bling and do your thing!
So it’s all sorted then? Welcome!

Oops. Save this as a reminder if you ever accidentally missed some slots threading your reed; that it’s only a little oopsie. No biggie!
It’s an easy fix as long as you find the perfect weight to keep the replaced threads the same tension as the rest of the warp.
Always surprises here in my studio. Need a bit more of that? Come join in!

Ever been stuck knowing where to start a project. ‘What I saw’ is often a good place to start.
Your journeys can be wonderful source material for your projects. Save this as a reminder for your own weaving and if you’re just visiting my space here, come follow along to see what I weave from my journeys.
This blanket I’ve woven was inspired by a road trip driving our 100 year old vintage Vauxhall from Bangkok to London. We broke down in Kyrgyzstan after driving rough Tibet for a month; but that’s another story!

Thanks Brian. Good to be home, albeit for a short time. James is back to hospital monday for a bone graft. Hopefully the last operation ! The post below is a little of what is in the book. I expanded on my thoughts below.

Wow thats beautiful. I like the red and the stiches, it alludes to your blog about the hospital and James and the inspiration. the red kind of seems like love because you know that you love James and that is were your mind is which is why the work suggestd that connection… does that make sense? 🙂 Cool
