Got 12 candy cane towels on last warp. They are cut apart but still need proper hemming. Trying to have some Christmas crafts done in time this year #weaving #floorloom

Played yarn chicken and won!! Got to the very end of my warp but got another full candy cane towel. #weaving #floorloom

Grizzly photo taken in Khutzeymateen grizzly sanctuary.
Thought I’d share because heard some people excited about seeing a bear when they saw the warning signs in my neighbourhood. “Maybe a salmon would attract them”.

If you see this post a shark that isn’t from jaws.
This is my photo from cage swimming in South Africa when great whites were still in Shark Alley

Chameleon is not impressed.
I think this is going to be my go-to image for side eye for awhile.

I live in BC and do not pay 53% taxes. I’ve attached the tax rates for 2025 for Canada and BC. Yes, you could get to 50%+ but that only on net income over a quarter of a million dollars. Not on the tables, but the first $16,129 is tax-free.

What’s going on over there?

Screaming into the void… lemur in its tree home. (Think it is yawning though)
Finally organizing some photos from Madagascar. Starting by posting animals conveying a mood/reaction #moodyanimals #mammals

Did you know that Netflix has Zelenskyy's show, Servant of the People? It would be great if this show made it into the top 10 list in US and Canada to bug a certain person. (yes, I'm petty) So if you still have Netflix, maybe this show should be playing all the time?

Added threads to this warp - thankfully have some lovely spools made by my dad to weight these threads off the loom. Had to add threads because messed up counting, even with a clicker to help.

And finally about to weave! Yarn through the reed and tied on and bobbins filled with weft.

Enjoying weaving the hygge blanket from Jane Stafford Textiles so I made it in a few colourways. My loom wasn’t wide enough so I wove them doublewidth and by the fourth one, got a good centre fold 😊

And now threading heddles as next step in #weaving. Watching hockey while putting each thread through its heddle

Couldn’t get a Canadian flag in our town - sold out - so put up my Canada Day wall hanging

Next stage in #weaving - adding warp to the loom! I’ve spread out yarns with the raddle made by my dad and will now wind on. Still a few steps before creating cloth though

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ I’ve made this pattern a few times 🫀

Starting a new set of cotton towels. It will be a new structure for me = M&Os. I like all stages of #weaving, even measuring the #warp

Inukshuk at Columbia Icefield and Athabasca Glacier in Alberta. This was taken in the summer but it was definitely a cooler day. I was shocked at how much the glacier had receded.

Love our backyard/protected area behind us when it snows

First finish of the year! It is the hygge blanket kit from Jane Stafford Textiles. It is so cozy!!
I did it double width = first time for trying that technique. I think I have a fix for the white line down the middle and will be making several more blankets.

Spent some more time with the eagles in Squamish. Wish I could get them to pose in good light. This eagle has the light on their back.

Giving away my last “candy cane” towel from this batch done last year. I might have to do it again.

Double weave wall hangings from Gist Yarns kit. It was easy to follow. I did a dummy warp so was able to get a smaller second wall hanging. Photo is rotated to left - click to see full photo

Visited the eagles this morning. The bird protecting its salmon was my favourite from today.
