Some moms bake cookies, I screen print band t-shirts after he goes to bed. All families are different. Excited to see CRASH all percussion band play in public for the first time in a few days. I’m sure you’ll be hearing “Beethoven is Retired” on the airwaves this holiday season. . . . #puttingthatdegreetouse #functionalparenting #imissscreenprinting #heaskedforthemetallicafont

Details from three shawls I delivered to @craftcouncilbc last week. A blend of silk, linen and cotton with a bit of cashmere and bamboo thrown in here and there. Tomorrow night they are having a wonderful fundraiser. See their profile for details and head out and support your local makers! . . . #functionalweaving #citizensofcraft #handwoven #craftcouncilofbc #buylocal #weaversofinstagram #yvrweavers

Cool winter light on silk and cotton stripes. Swipe for close up. This little one is off to @craftcouncilbc this week to help fundraise for a new furnace. I am so grateful for the scholarship that I received from them when I first graduated. I bought my first loom thanks to their support and generosity and they continue to be a supporter of my work. To say thanks I’m donating this contemporary handwoven silk table runner. It’s not a mug but it sure looks good with them! December 6 7-10pm come down to the Crafthouse on Granville Island for Mystery Mugs! You can buy mug-inspired mystery boxes donated by fellow members. It’s a great way to buy gifts, support local makers and give back to the community that supports us all. It’s a win-win-win! . . . #functionalweaving #citizensofcraft #handwoven #craftcommunity #buylocal

Thanks everyone who came and chatted about language constructs, social justice, the practicality of weaving with human hair, Japanese salt and other things! Fault Lines is up until the end of December. . . . #citizensofcraft #handwoven #yvrart #faultlines #gcweaver

Such a treat to meet this lovely and talented young singer tonight. Carmina has such a great vocal range. She sang Drake and I’m pretty sure there was a Guns n Roses song in there too. Let’s have music at all art openings. . . . #localtalent
