When I send one of my tapestries off into the world, I always wonder how it fits in to someone else’s home, how the light falls upon the fibres, through what lens it’s gazed upon. This tapestry was commissioned for a baby nursery and I had many, many wonderful connections with the mama-to-be throughout its creation. She sent me a gorgeous mood board (smartest idea ever!) featuring their palette, finishes and the calming, chic design they had envisioned. Well, my heart is exp...loding right now because today I was sent this I’m a little bit baby crazy to begin with, and now that my littles aren’t so little anymore, I wistfully adore all things baby. My dream job would be baby holder. Not joking. Maybe creepy. But, I. LOVE. BABIES! Ok, now that you’ve gotten a little peek into that weird side of me, back to this beautiful nursery where something that I made with my baby loving hands now lives. What an honour it is to be trusted with the special job of adding handwoven magic to this family’s new journey. I am so grateful Swipe to see it in full view before it left House of Woolly Thyme See more

The holiday tryptich up close and personal. When displayed as a set in my previous post, these tapestries capture a festive sense of warmth and joy, but individually they are unique tapestries that stand the test of time and season. Fibre art for Christmas and the rest of the year too

December is finally here and that calls for a spirited holiday tryptich. Would you like to see these handwoven tapestries listed in my shop? Check out my stories for some detail shots. These wall hangings were woven throughout a weaving workshop that I led last weekend on Zoom and I had so much fun meeting up online with some lovely and talented new weavers. This weekend, I’ll be hosting another and hopefully in the new year we will feel safe and comfortable to workshop ...together in person again if not, we always have Zoom. These tapestries were woven with fibres from Canadian producers and shops including local hand dyed slubby from @fleeceartist_handmaiden, merino from @minevillewoolproject, cotton rope from @ropeshopdotca, wool from @customwoolenmills, and wool roving from @divinityfibers.

It’s exactly 4 weeks until Christmas How are you feeling? Are you in the I’ve been ready since July boat or the Christmas? Wasn’t it just Easter? boat?! I’m somewhere in the middle. But I had the urge to start a little festive tapestry for my Zoom workshop tomorrow. ...
