I love getting feedback from my online students! “I just wanted to write a quick note about how much I love your fiber sculpture class! It’s such a fun and quick way to use my favorite yarns that have been sitting idle in my closet for years! I’ve made a door knob tassel and my first rainbow today and making it was so fun and exciting! I’ve already started on a second rainbow!” - Jessica . Sign up through my website!

I recently worked on a project with @lovesakurabloom to create beautiful baby carriers out of scrap material left over from their production. My carrier (pictured) will be auctioned off to benefit @circleofhealth / an organisation that works hard to keep mothers and babies safe in the worlds hardest places, including the US boarders. You can find all the details at @lovesakurabloom. Other artists are @mrblueskye @tiffanylusteg @rhiannonmgriego

Cutie pie @unmaterialgirl cane along to my beginners weaving class in Brisbane yesterday. 3 hours of blissed our powerful weaving with the weaving squad. Everyone walked away with a new artwork, head full of skills, a belly full of treats and a heart full of love. Can’t wait to see my weaving family in SYDNEY and MELBOURNE in the next few weeks.

After a 10 year career as a teacher, i started weaving when I was pregnant with my son (whose about to turn 7!!). At the time there was all but naught online. I borrowed books from the library and bought some off eBay trying to figure out what in the world I was doing. It was like the Wild West! I invented stitches, only to find them in a book further down the line, and turns out I was doing them all wrong. It was a good 3-4 years or trial and error- mostly error. But weaving has been such a light in my life. A place to go to celebrate, process, grieve, understand myself. Last year my son received a diagnosis that shook our family to the foundations. Weaving helped me process my emotions and thoughts. It helped me be strong and pliable at the same time. There is much more to be learned at the loom than just stitches. I started teaching to share my knowledge. To give others the gift that I had stumbled upon. The gift to themselves. A few hours here and there to get to know yourself better. Weaving really has saved my life. If you’ve been thinking about learning, there’s no time like Right now. Check out my online courses at me website, or if you’re lucky enough- I have some AUSTRALIAN Winter workshops. Click through to my Etsy shop. Xo love you
