Sunday*Sunday

Well a day off...I had a great day, made the blanket which I had the light go on for last night.  This blanket is for my hypnosis friend, the blanket is a trade...got my haircut on Thursday, still getting used to it.  It looks great but I have not had it cut since August and it was really unruly, but I was used to it.  Went to Tsunami Sushi on Robson to Sushi-lize with my bestest Mexican friend Katalina and we discussed school, beasties and men...a very enjoyable evening...

Santorini went Home


Well an exciting update!!  Santorini was the first piece that I created at my Artist in Residency at Starfire Studio in June 2007...its a fabulous piece all in electric blues with touches of green and red...the most fabulous yarn in the wrap was Omas and the cone from the fibre said it was made in 1933 in the the Netherlands, its the most vibrant blue you have ever seen!!!  Well it went to a home to day, that of Susanne Hille, who has a wonderful collection of my wraps in many different colours and sizes...

Happy 2009!!!


Happy New Year!!  This is my first introduction to blogging and I will do my best to divulge all of my weaving play whenever there is something to share...I have a Diploma in Textiles from Capilano University in North Vancouver, BC, Canada but I am also a third generation weaver...my Canadian mother has the same loom as me and I inherited my Dutch Oma's loom in 2001...I try to explore textures, traditions and just really COLOUR through my art...
